That’s it, that’s the list. The shortest list since before the Korean War.

Steelers nation was on edge Thursday after watching a video of their three-time Pro Bowler dangerously slip into his pool during a routine clean.
Worst of all, Watt had a phone in his pocket, which immediately leads us to believe he could have been electrocuted to a crisp by falling into the water (even if modern cell phones aren’t built like toasters in the ’70s).
In sharing his embarrassing fall Thursday, Watt warned his followers to not try the move at home.
