CLEMSON, S.C. -- Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson on Monday said he has had a hard time enjoying the start to the 2016 season because media obligations and expectations have weighed him down.This past weekend, you could feel the energy, starting with me being the leader of the team, not really enjoying it, Watson said. You can tell my body language has been bad, and it spreads throughout the team -- and then it spreads throughout the fans. You can feel the energy in the stadium, that people werent really excited about the game.Just got to live in the moment, embrace the moment and enjoy. It took a long time for me to put a smile on my face over the course of my lifetime, and my experience of what Ive been through on and off the field. Its a blessing to have this opportunity to be here.Its a privilege to be in this position, to have people want to talk to me, to have people want to hear my story and hear whats going on, because it can easily be on the flip side, and no one wants to talk to me, no one respects me one-on-one, no one in the stands wearing my jersey. Its a blessing. It just kind of got away from me a little bit with all the attention Ive gotten. Just got to find myself and be the Deshaun Watson I always will be.Clemson (2-0), returning eight starters on offense from last year, has struggled to pick up where it left off last season thanks to a combination of mistakes -- from dropped passes to an ineffective run game.Watson, a Heisman finalist in 2015 after throwing for more than 4,000 yards and rushing for over 1,000, has been unable to make the spectacular plays in the run game he did a season ago against Auburn and Troy, both focused in on stopping him.Im not Superman. Im not a superhero, and I had a talk with Coach [Dabo] Swinney, Watson said. Im human. Im going to make mistakes. You live and learn and correct the mistakes. Had a reality check this weekend with myself ... So much media attention [wears] down on me, and I just really apologize to you guys and all the fans. This opportunity is very rare, and next year who knows whats going to happen, but its very short, so really just apologize to you all and [want to bring] that enjoyment back.Clemson co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott said the message this week has been to tell Watson and the entire offense to just relax and let loose against South Carolina State on Saturday.Anytime youre a top player like Deshaun and the other guys we have on our team, their bar is set very, very high, Scott said. When youre not reaching that bar, then youre very disappointed and its not a lot of fun because you know where your line and your potential is and when youre not hitting that, it gets frustrating for the players, it gets frustrating for the coaches.But our message to all those guys is: When you come here, go out, have fun and play the game. Dont put more pressure on yourself than is needed. Sometimes theres a little bit of an attitude that theyve got to be perfect. Theyre still going to make mistakes. The type of attitude you have, the way you approach it, the way you come back that next series, thats really going to dictate how the rest of the game goes.Custom Randy Johnson Jersey .

For author and comedian Sara Benincasa, considering the roots of her admittedly limited fandom brought on tears.Id invited Benincasa on my Thats What She Said podcast after reading her hilarious, viral piece Why Am I So Fat? Her interest in sports was immaterial to the invite, but I was curious -- even more so when the topic churned up such emotion.I was raised on sports metaphors; you know? she said. For somebody who doesnt follow sports that closely I feel weirdly comfortable in a sports-related environment. My dad was a Yankees fan, which was a great thing to be when I was growing up. And he was a Jets fan, which has never been a great thing to be, except maybe in 1969.Ill cry if I talk about my dad, she continued, doing that sort of half-laughing, half-crying thing a person does when theyre surprised by their own emotions. I talk to my friend Peggy OLeary, who will laugh at this, because she comes from an Eagles family. And we talk about the value of losing and, like, growing up with loss. It teaches you something that sports is about. Sorry Im crying! Oh my God!Yeah, why are you crying? I asked.Im also laughing, like a hysterical person, said Benincasa. I think its about my dad. I love my dad a lot.Is he still with us?He is! Hes super not dead! I think I just appreciate the value of somebody loving losers. Just knowing theyre going to break your heart. Theyre always going to break your heart. Its always going to happen...And he still does it.It turns out, even if youre not really a sports fan -- even if you give zero you-know-whats -- the Jets can still make you cry.They just did it again on Sunday. AA one-point loss to the Bengals accomplished via a missed extra point, a late interception and a surrendered field goal with seconds to play -- so Jets.ddddddddddddThe New Jersey-based team with the New York name once again flexed its masochistic muscle, reminding fans that the Jets can make even a Week 1 loss hurt like hell.For Benincasa, choosing to suffer that inevitable Jets heartbreak over and over is so endearing it elicits tears. Those of us with closets full of numbered clothes and vacations planned around away games understand how mood-altering a teams effort can be, and our friends and family feel it, too. It can be difficult to get inside someone elses appreciation for a great movie, song or piece of art, but somehow it seems we can feel their anguish or joy after an important game.Sports are a powerful mess of civic pride, childhood memories, nostalgia and hero worship. For some families, game day means a rare safe space to share. Political differences are put aside, arguments are shelved and the TV remote briefly loses its status as a catalyst for a wrestling match.Families bond over matching jerseys, the creation of a new tailgate snack or the backstory of a popular player. Parents teach their kids which team to root for, how to throw a spiral, what a rub route looks like and how to balance a helmet full of a nachos and a giant soda while walking up a steep flight of 400-level stairs.A bond is formed, even for folks who share sports from the periphery, like Benincasa. For her, football means getting to see her fathers heart through his love for the Jets. ' ' '
