Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt and Pro Football Talk engaged themselves in a war of words Tuesday night on Twitter.
Watt tweeted a photo of himself donning a USA jersey ahead of the national team's semifinal match against Argentina at Copa America.
Pro Football Talk captioned Watt's tweet with an incendiary comment, fueling a battle between both parties.
"Why does everyone always want to talk about me? I'm just minding my own business and seeking no attention at all." https://t.co/K67Av3zsDM

The reigning Defensive Player of the Year retorted in kind.
@ProFootballTalk you do know how Twitter works, right? If you don't want to see it, stay off my page. Take your saltiness elsewhere.

Pro Football Talk, ostensibly run by Mike Florio, revealed they don't follow Watt in the first place and became aware of his tweet via the Texans' account.
I do stay off your page. I follow your team's page. They retweeted it. That's how Twitter works, right? https://t.co/4arzpy1LzB

Watt wisely refused to engage further, while PFT fired one more shot.
Take your false humility elsewhere.
