JJ Watt voiced his concerns about the Dallas Cowboys' fan tour, questioning Jerry Jones' priorities after almost 30 years without winning a championship. The Texan franchise has made it to the playoffs several times over this period, but the NFC Championship game looks like a dream.

Watt joined "The Pat McAfee Show" on Wednesday to share his thoughts on the new fan tour.

"All different things going on. You feel like you're an exhibit at a much bigger circus. There are just a 100 things going on. They have those dancers up there. They have a concert going on. You're walking through a tunnel through a bar ... The game doesn't feel like it's the most important part of the day there," Watt said. [01:40]

The Cowboys have tried different strategies to get attention from fans. They launched this tour to allow fans to experience 'a day in the life of a Cowboys player' for a base ticket price of $40.

Despite the showmanship of Jerry Jones, the team is 3-3 after seven weeks now and suffered a 47-9 loss in Week 6 to the Detroit Lions. Heading into a clash with the San Francisco 49ers, 'America's Team' is sitting with more questions than answers.

JJ Watt claps back at Jerod Mayo calling the Patriots 'soft'

Besides questioning Jerry Jones' new attraction, JJ Watt took issue with New England Patriots HC Jerod Mayo's words against his defense. The former defender had some harsh words for his players, calling them 'soft' after a 32-16 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the third NFL London Game of the season.

"You're sitting there and you hear that," Watt said. "And you're just like, 'F**k man. No, I'm f**king laying everything I got on the line for this team. I'm putting my body on the line, and I'm now labeled as soft.'"

JJ Watt said that perhaps one or two players could be soft, but generalizing and using the same expression for the rest of the team didn't sit well with the former Defensive Player of the Year.
