TWEET: JJ Watt gets our nod for loveliest fella of the week after penning this “get out of work” note for a fan

Some man for one man

As far as “get out of work” notes go, this is pretty darn close to perfection.

When we were younger gentlemen, we had to rely on our friends’ shoddy signature-copying by way of excuse for going on the hop.

But J.J. Watt changed the game when he responded to this request from a fan with no options.

Watt came right back with this humdinger of a handwritten note to the boss in the hope that poor Ashlee could attend a charity softball game organised by the Houston Texans defensive end.

What an absolute legend with surprisingly nice handwriting.
