J.J. Watt took a harsh troll at Dan Orlovsky on Tuesday during an unlikely online exchange centered around cookies. What began as a light-hearted debate among the two former NFL players about the superiority of certain cookies quickly escalated into witty remarks..
It all started when Watt posted a picture of some packs of Girl Scout cookies on social media. It was the Caramel deLites variety and three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year captioned the post with a message communicating his love and addiction to the cookie type.
“This is a problem,” Watt wrote on X.

Dan Orlovsky entered the conversation by arguing that the Caramel deLites, also known as Samosas, is not the best variety of the Girl Scout cookie lineup. The ESPN analyst replied to J.J. Watt’s initial post, noting where the variety ranks among the offerings by Girl Scouts.
“2nd best cookie they offer,” Orlovsky wrote.

Watt responded in defense of the Caramel deLites with a sharp remark aimed at Orlovsky. The CBS Sports analyst crafted a jab aimed at his ESPN counterpart that pretty much changed the complexion of the debate.
“Wrong, but confident. (Can make a career outta that nowadays),” Watt wrote.

J.J. Watt’s tongue-in-cheek comment triggered a series of outpouring reactions from fans and observers, who all entered the debate. While the Caramel deLites is indeed popular, it’s always been behind the Mints variety in terms of annual sales among the Girl Scout cookies.
J.J. Watt rips the NFL on blocking the NFLPA’s annual team report
J.J. Watt joined the growing wave of critics blasting an arbitrator’s ruling that blocked the NFL Players Association from releasing its annual team report cards. An arbitrator was said to have determined that the NFLPA’s conduct violated the league’s Collective Bargaining Agreement.
In a sharply worded social media post following the decision, Watt tore into the move. The former Houston Texans star drew a direct comparison to the NFL happily allowing NBC to air Pro Football Focus grades during broadcasts.
“NFL won’t let actual players grade the workplace they attend every single day, but they’ll allow a 3rd party “grading” service to display their “rankings” of players on national television every Sunday night…,” Watt wrote.
The NFLPA has annually released team report cards since 2023, grading each franchise across multiple categories based on anonymous surveys from active players. Among the areas evaluated are ownership, locker room facilities and size, treatment of families and the training room staff and resources.
