JJ Watt joins CBS desk for dayAbdo pitches arm wrestling match
Ex-Man City man hilariously shoots down proposition
WHAT HAPPENED?
Watt filled in for Jamie Carragher on the CBS Sports GOLAZO desk Saturday, with the Burnley co-owner joining on the matchday where his Clarets fell to Liverpool 3-1. Studio host Kate Abdo started to bring up the possibility of a potential arm wrestling match live on-air between Watt and Micah Richards – but the ex-Manchester City man interrupted her and hilariously shot it down immediately.

The 35-year-old not only turned down the opportunity, but followed it up by asking to compare hand sizes on the desk. At that point, the entire desk had a laugh, and Richards explained himself in a clear and concise way.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Richards had previously participated in an arm wrestling contest live on-air for CBS, where the media outlet pit the ex-Manchester City man as a representative for England against ex-USMNT star Oguchi Onyewu. The American defender defeated Richards within seconds, and now, it appears the pundit has retired from shenanigans of a similar matter.
