Follow Us
Arizona Cardinals have a sweet problem involving defensive end JJ Watt and tight end Zach Ertz. The Cardinals recently finished their voluntary OTAs leaving Watt and Ertz as the last men standing. While it should have been a moment of pride and happiness, a minor beef ensues between the beef named ‘Donutgate.‘
The Cardinals TE approached Watt with an interesting idea to get donuts for their strength and conditioning coach Buddy Morris. Ertz was trying to find what kind of donuts would Watt like to have as he aimed to get donuts for him as well. JJ Watt, the 2-time DPOY, chooses pink/strawberry glazed and maple glazed variations.
