J.J. Watt wins with Caroline Wozniacki even as Wisconsin loses

Even when J.J. Watt loses, he wins.

His beloved Wisconsin Badgers might have lost the NCAA men's basketball championship Monday night to the Duke Blue Devils, but Watt had a good shoulder to cry on. Watt took in the game with Danish tennis superstar Caroline Wozniacki, and the two were all smiles throughout — until Wisky let the game slip away, that is.

How did they meet? Are they an item? We’re not sure. (Although we long have suspected there is some super-secret dating matrix — Cinder, the celebrity version of Tinder? — that only really famous people are privy to.)

Watt’s dating history is less known than that of Wozniacki’s, as she and No. 1-ranked golfer Rory McIlroy were formerly a hot couple. That is until he broke things off with her. McIlroy was on a white-hot tear after the breakup last year before cooling off a bit.

Note to Watt: If you’re going to date this young woman, Houston Texans fans might advise you to time it up well in accordance with next season. That's how sports fans think.

Yes, if Rory can avoid a major struggle post-Woz, we assume a log cabin-dwelling, quarterback-eating beast such as Watt can avoid being brought to his knees.
