The Watt brothers know how to keep football fans entertained throughout the coronavirus quarantine.
From their playful banter, to Derek Watt and T.J. Watt teaming up in Pittsburgh — leaving J.J. Watt looking through the glass with misty eyes — the trio has provided plenty of fun for football fans on Twitter.
J.J.'s latest idea, however, might just top them all. Check it out:

As Derek explained Thursday during his first official conference call as a member of the Steelers, the three brothers are in Wisconsin training together and getting in some offseason work (a normal routine for them).
That, combined with the quarantine, led to J.J.'s brilliant plan.
But it didn't stop there. Following J.J.'s proposal, T.J. had to chime in:
I see myself being victorious in every event. https://t.co/u5BZsAag7r

J.J. did not quite agree with T.J.'s assessment:
I see an idiot. https://t.co/CBlPMhCBdl

T.J. then doubled down, pushing in all the chips:
This tweet won’t age well. https://t.co/phasaAPmwv

The idea took its most dramatic turn, however, when Colts-punter-turned-media-personality Pat McAfee chimed in and offered his services, leading to J.J. asking a seemingly serious question about potentially setting it up on Instagram or popular streaming service Twitch:
I don’t know how we can set this up, but I feel like this needs to happen this weekend.
IG Live? Twitch?
Betting lines are already being set. https://t.co/Q3BuW7sw04

I mean, sign me up if it goes down. If it's free to watch, even better, but I'd donate to the cause just to see the three go at it. While T.J. and J.J. took over for most of the banter and fun, Derek didn't totally stay away. He didn't just bet on himself, though — he bet on his dog, too.
Predictably, J.J. disagreed once again:
Yeah, ok bud.
Your dog has the best chance to pull off a win for your family. https://t.co/wzo1a2hKiW

Is this all just a mixture of Twitter fun and boredom? Yeah. Probably.
Would you watch if it did happen?
Of course you would. And I'll be there to join you. Be right back, gotta head to the store and stock up on popcorn.
