Mike Curtis approves this message.
On Sunday night, a fan at a Zac Brown Band concert put his toes on the stage -- and Texans defensive end J.J. Watt put his ass on the ground. Watt posted the video of the moment on his Twitter page with the message, “Nobody messes with @zacbrownband.”
Was it staged? As noted by Tania Ganguli of ESPN.com, the fan at the Milwaukee show was wearing an Alabama T-shirt, and Wisconsin (Watt’s alma mater) faces the Crimson Tide to launch the 2015 college football season. Which strongly suggests that the moment was staged.
Still, it was an impressive wipeout by the guy who recently slapped a hockey puck past a goalie who dove away from the goal just as the shot was coming.
Neither moment was as impressive as the knee-jerk shoulder slam from the Colts linebacker who in 1971 stopped a fan who stormed the field and tried to abscond with the football.
