His fandom doesn’t lie with either of his former teams.
JJ Watt became a superstar with the Texans, and finished his career with the Cardinals. However, he’ll be rooting for a different team now that his NFL career is over, and it probably won’t come as a huge surprise.
Watt’s brothers, TJ and Derek, both play for the Steelers.

Kyrie shines in his Mavs debut as four more trades happen the night before the deadline
Frankly, I can’t possibly be expected to write coherent thoughts after the Kevin Durant trade; after all, I cover the Suns primarily. I’m sure we’ll have plenty of words across the SB Nation family covering each of the three trades in-depth, but here’s a quick recap of the Wednesday trades before Thursday’s 3 p.m.

Sam Howell has played exactly one game as an NFL quarterback, leading the Washington Commanders to a win over the Dallas Cowboys in last year’s regular-season finale. Despite his inexperience and the very real mystery about whether he’s an NFL-caliber quarterback, Ron Rivera sees him as the franchise’s No. 1 QB heading into next season.
And Rivera is doing his damndest to get you to believe that.
“The biggest thing we decided is he will start out as QB1,” Rivera said of Howell on PFT Live. “He will most certainly get the first opportunity.

Deion Sanders is already seeing a huge culture shift within the Colorado football program.
The Buffaloes went 1-11 last season, and the program has become a major joke in the PAC-12 over recent years.
