NEW YORK — J.J. Watt never thought he'd go into the media after his NFL career. Now, Watt has the opportunity to become the permanent No. 1 game ***** yst for CBS Sports. If he ends up with the big microphone, it could reset the chessboard for NFL ***** ysts for years to come.
With Tony Romo on indefinite leave following his OWI arrest in Wisconsin, Watt has been temporarily promoted to CBS's lead NFL team, with play-by-play announcer Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson.
Naturally, Watt is ambivalent about seemingly capitalizing on a colleague's misfortune. But the 37-year-old will be ready to go Week 1 for CBS's telecast of Packers at Vikings.
During CBS's annual NFL preview in midtown Manhattan last week, I asked the former NFL Man of the Year what he could learn from the all-world sports TV duo of Nantz and Wolfson.
"Everything," answered Watt.
