Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt enters the field prior to a preseason game. It was Wednesday afternoon, and the NFL superstar and his Houston Texans teammates were on a bus, finally heading back home. Late Wednesday, a $1 million check from Wal-Mart would arrive via Ellen DeGeneres’s talk show, pushing the total past $8.5 million. (The storm had made it harder to locate trucks closer to Houston, Watt said.) Other Texans players and Houston athletes, like new NBA Rockets point guard Chris Paul, have chipped in as well.
