          Ever wanted to know what it's like to be tackled by Houston Texans star J.J. Watt?

          No? Well, then you're sane.

          But if you did, I'd recommend crashing the stage of a concert by one of Watt's buddies in the Zac Brown Band while they're playing in Watt's homeland. Like last night, when a fan in what looks like an Alabama T-shirt appeared to jump on stage at Summerfest in Milwaukee and start dancing, only to have a sunglasses-donning Watt fly in and tackle him.

          Watt’s alma mater, Wisconsin, takes on Alabama at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, to open the 2015 season.

          The bit was likely staged, but that didn't make it less funny.
