Remember How JJ Watt Moved To A "Minimalistic" Log Cabin To Train During The Offseason? Yeah Well, The Cabin Is Fucking Awesome

CBS Sports- Back in January, the only thing we knew about J.J. Watt‘s log cabin was that it was made of logs and it was a cabin. We also learned that the cabin was “minimalistic” because that’s what Watt said when he bought the place. Apparently though, Watt has a slightly different definition of minimalistic than the rest of us. Busted Coverage published a few photos of Watt’s cabin on Monday and his cabin looks exactly like you would expect a cabin to look like if it was owned by someone with a $100 million NFL contract.

Am I remembering this story wrong?  That’s a real question.  Because from my recollection JJ Watt moving to a cabin to train in the offseason was spun as a “Oh he’s moving into the cabin where nobody is.  It’s just him, four walls made out of logs and his training equipment.  He’s gonna live like a minimalist just so he can perfect his craft of ripping QB’s heads off.  No distractions.” That’s honestly how I remember the news reports reporting it.  Well I gotta say, JJ Watt and I have different definitions of minimalism because that cabin is fucking AWESOME.  Like super awesome.  That’s nicer than any house I’ll ever own.  That’s nicer than any house I’ll ever dream to own.  I was hoping in the pictures of his minimalist cabin it would be one room with a Bowflex machine and then a blocking dummy in the front yard.  That’s it.  No other material pleasures.  Nope.  The place has rooms on rooms on rooms and everything a person could ever want.  The “No distractions” part looks to be true because that looks like an expensive neighborhood that nobody can afford to live in.

PS- Did I actually think JJ Watt was gonna live in a place with just 4 walls and an inside that was heated by a wood-burning stove?  Of course not.  The dude signed a $100M contract.  I just think it’s funny how it gets reported that way.
