Hannah Storm interviewed celebs and athletes on the red carpet prefacing Wednesday night’s ESPYs. The highlight of the night? A hand-job joke from Lindsey Vonn.
Storm asked Texans star J.J. Watt about how he persevered through injuries. The Defensive Player of the Year’s response? “I have a very good training staff and great teammates.”
Innocuous enough … Until Vonn chimes in, “And lots of massages in the groin area.”
:I
The jab was certainly over this tweet from last season. I’m also assuming Watt and Vonn are officially a ‘thing.’ Either way this was pure entertainment. I only wish I could hear what Vonn continues to say as Storm declares, “live television,” and “reel it back in girl.”
The look on Watt’s face is priceless. Let’s look at the progression:
The “is she really saying this right now??” look.
The “oh, she’s just being silly, right?” look
The “thanks for humiliating me on live-television” look.
And, finally, the “I’m going to get back at you later” look.
Vonn should be the red carpet host next year. Done deal.
