Wow, a Joe Gleason blast from the past. He was one of my drinking buddies at Kay's back in the day. And JJ, you beat a 60-year-old punter, the bat flip was a bit excessive.
prediction. JJ Watt retires from the NFL at the age of 33. He goes to Hollywood to become the next ROCK.
I see someone was listening to 790 this morning. BTW: it's not as easy they make it seem for 2 reasons. 1. It took the ROCK a while to get here. His first big screen movie was back in 2001. He's come a long way 2. If it was that easy John Cena would be doing the same.
I think Dave Batista is a more accurate parallel. He didn't have to go through the de-stigma problem that Rock had because Rock already went through so he was able to get a bunch of small roles that he made bigger until he got Gotg. Dave is a legit actor now and he's actually worked with more Hollywood heavyweights than Rock. The problem with Cena is that he's got no personality, he has nothing to add to the characters he portrays, that's why he's not making as much headway as Rock and Batista. Batista has ****ing chops, dude can act his ass off, Rock can't act but is charismatic as all hell. J.J already has the action star look and Arny is itching to cast him in something, if he has any personality he'll be fine. He's two more major injuries away and I'm betting the under on 33
Watt will go into coaching or television. I can see him doing the Herbstreit gig since he gets lots of cheerleader leg that way.
