Texans legend J.J. Watts crushes the 9-9-9 challenge with ease during Brewers game
Have you ever tried to accomplish the 9-9-9 challenge at a baseball game?
Have you beaten the record before the seventh-inning stretch?
You know what, it doesn't matter since J.J. Watt just put everyone besides Joey Chesnut to shame during a visit to the Milwaukee Brewers game over the weekend.
For those unfamiliar with the challenge, baseball fans attempt a simple but disgusting battle that usually ends with a long evening in the bathroom. Over nine innings, one must finish nine hot dogs and nine beers. And what's at stake? Honestly, nothing besides a bet between buddies and a few bucks.
But Watt, a three-time Defensive Player of the Year and future Hall of Famer for the Houston Texans, literally made mere mortals shiver as he crushed nine glizzies and nine brews through six innings, posting his progress on social media, including the end result.
The future Canton-bound defender who used to crush quarterbacks crushed seven beers and seven hot dogs through three games as the Brewers fell to the Miami Marlins. After that, Watt proclaimed he hit "cruise control" sending a post with the final video eating his late hot dog before the final out in the sixth.
While Texans fans would love to see Watt punish passers in Year 3 under DeMeco Ryans, it's clear with how much fun he's having that his playing days are officially in the past. Most active players probably aren't spending training camp at the ballpark washing down meat with a Miller Light within 90 minutes.
Houston won't miss Watt for long since it's expected he'll be on the call for at least one game after joining Ian Eagle as an in-game analyst for CBS. Maybe while in the broadcast booth, he takes on the "4-4-4 challenge" of four pounds of brisket and four Shiner Bocks in four quarters?
