Lindsey Vonn says J.J. Watt enjoys 'massages in the groin area'

Social media presence and NFL Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt faced a stunning accusation from Olympic skier and former Tiger Woods companion Lindsey Vonn on Wednesday.

The two, appearing as co-presenters at the ESPYs, were interviewed on the red carpet, and Vonn interjected her theory on how Watt's recovered from various injuries over the past year.

"And lots of massages," Vonn said, after Watt began paying tribute to his training staff. "In the groin era."

Vonn then made the universal "this guy knows what I'm talking about" sign by nudging Watt with her elbow, before being told to "reel it in, girl" by the pearl-clutching ESPN host.

This salacious claim made by a beautiful and wealthy star athlete would not be good for Watt's carefully cultivated "everyman" persona, and thus the newly minted J.J. Watt shoe empire. Expect a full denial within the next 24 hours.
