Trouble?' -- J.J. Watt Reveals Initial Reaction to Getting Contacted by CBS Sports' President Before Landing New Extension

J.J. Watt described the moment he saw a missed call from CBS Sports leadership on Monday morning and initially feared it meant trouble. The reaction followed a viral broadcast moment Sunday when Jim Nantz hurt his hand and wrist while attempting a full-force “Peanut Punch” on a football Watt was gripping during an on-air segment. In a video posted to his social media, Watt said the call came from David Berson, chairman of Skydance’s Global Sports Group, and that he worried he’d be “called into the principal’s office.” Instead, Watt learned he would become CBS’s lead NFL analyst, including coverage leading to next year’s Super Bowl. Watt praised Nantz, Tracy Wolfson, and the production team as part of his transition, and said his multi-year extension is now finalized.
