CAT FIGHT! (kinda, but not really) J.J. Watt and Zach Mettenberger are at it again. The two AFC Southers toiled last year over Instagram selfies and now with the offseason in full swing (also known as talking season), there’s a bit more chatter. In a recent interview, Mettenberger just went full Mean Girls on Swatt, dumping all over the defensive lineman’s letterman jacket.

"“J.J. had to say it’s a bit high schoolish that I take selfies, and I think he still rags me on Instagram every time he posts a selfie,” Mettenberger said. “At the same time, if that’s high schoolish, he got a letterman jacket made — a Texans letterman jacket.“That’s pretty high schoolish to me, don’t you say?”"

Haven’t seen one man go at another’s throat like that since Roadhouse.

However, not one to take a slight (especially from a QB) lying down, The Outlaw Justin James fired back at his sheepish opponent.

Just a brutal back-and-forth right there. Not even sure we can declare a winner. I think we can all agree that this would best be settled at midfield with the players’ respective teammates circling around and reenacting the Prologue fro West Side Story.

Sadly, my gut says this is all a long con and will end up as part of a This is SportsCenter commercial.

Two serious questions for you:

  1. Didn’t Watt technically concern himself with the opinion of a sheep? He took time to tweet it out. Technically, that’s how he started his day – diving in the shallow end.
  2. We can call this a cat fight, right? Watt basically equated himself to a Lion, and Mettenberger is a former LSU Tiger. Two cats right there. Let’s just go with the cat fight. Everyone agree? Love a good cat fight.
