J.J. Watt broke a kid's bike at Packers training camp

J.J. Watt, Wisconsin native and childhood Packers fan, was in Green Bay for a Texans-Packers joint practice that he ultimately sat out. Players from both teams rode bikes with local kids to practice, a longtime Packers tradition. And Watt's enormous body ruined the bike he borrowed from a young Packers fan.

Watt replaced the bike for the child, and found a new one for himself, saying "that bike wasn't equipped for a 290-pound man."

The pass rusher didn't blame the five-year-old he borrowed the bike from for being a Packers fan, either. "He had a Rodgers jersey on, which is fine. I respect it. I support loyalty," Watt said. He respects loyalty, but not gravity.
