I'm admittedly addicted to Twitter (X), but even I'll admit it can be a toxic waste pit hole sometimes. There is rarely good news. Today was a bit different and that is a good thing.
Not Proud of it, man enough to say it.

I had breakfast this morning in Greenwich Village NYC and a man sat next to me on his own.
Somebody I idolised growing up watching NFL. But out of respect ( like a scared little girl ) I didn’t even ask for a picture.

A fan of JJ Watt happened to be eating breakfast in New York next to him. He didn't want to bother Watt but later regretted it. He took to Twitter to tell the story and guess who saw it ... JJ Watt.
