My hat's off to JJ Watt. You truly are awesome.

We could all learn some seriously genuine humanity from this young man. And GO WILL! WILL POWER! You've definitely picked the best possible role model.

    I never understood why people always say "sorry " when they start to cry. People seem to do that automatically. You just got the worst news a parent can get. There is no need to apologize. You have every right to react any way you want.

      It's conditioning. Some cultures believe it's impolite or wrong to show negative emotion publicly. Folks give consession to kids for open expression, but we're taught to hide our real selfs as we age. Even worse for males, who are denigrated for being emotional.

    I'm a life long Cowboys fan, but I love JJ Watt. He is a beast on the field but he has a huge heart.
