Today’s “First Call” features a little brotherly love.
Pfft! No. Not from Philadelphia. Why would we ever subject you to that?
Naw. This is from Pittsburgh.
And… Houston.
J.J. Watt of the Houston Texans tweeted this video of himself working out. Watt is trying to return to top form after missing a large chunk of 2019 with a torn pectoral muscle.

The three-time (note this reference, by the way) NFL Defensive Player of the Year got a clap back on social media from his younger brother, Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt.
I know you will roast me right back, but……. am I supposed to be impressed by this? https://t.co/LW7Ccb3cCX

Well, T.J. Watt was right. His older brother was ready to “roast” him back.
Am I supposed to be impressed by you “almost” winning defensive player of the year? https://t.co/taGB1rT6z3

Now you see why I emphasized that whole “three-time” thing, right?
So T.J. Watt had to be humbled by his brother’s strong return-of-serve.
I’ll be at the gym if anyone needs me… https://t.co/6wB9VnJI3h

I suppose that’s good news for Steelers fans.
Elsewhere for ‘First Call’…
• Alex Ovechkin is up to 45 goals as the Washington Capitals beat the Minnesota Wild (4-3) Sunday night.
• Marc-Andre Fleury and the Las Vegas Golden Knights had a tough game against the Los Angeles Kings, losing 4-1. Watch Trevor Lewis execute his version of the spin-o-rama.
• A little-known NBA player tied a three-point record over the weekend.
• Three teams have emerged as trade partners for Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton. Steelers fans will love one of the potential destinations.
