    Probably a good thing!

    goooood!

  • Fab4ever

    Maybe…but the world is gonna miss out on a potential train wreck…

    Someone needs to tell this guy to settle down. He so full of himself, he’s turning into a jacka$$. Good football player not great, that takes years of proving. If someone doesn’t he will crash and burn and be a waste of talent.

  • Natedizel

     Ya waste of football talent. But from what we seen he has Hollywood talent. Maybe he cares more about partying it up than winning a super bowl because i dont know how someone can dance on a table the night after LOSING a superbowl when some players cry afterwards.

  • Spitfire1064

    Wait……good football player,yeesh.

  • Woodman

    would have been fun thats to bad

  • ChrisinDanvers

    Too bad….with all of this Oscar hype, it would have been interesting to see “Gonk” there. However, given the bashes those actors have following the academy awards, it is probably all for the best.

  • cool runnings

    the kid is 23 years old and has MILLIONS of dollars. What would you do? Im sure partying after a super bowl loss isnt that bad, i was actually more surprised to see Matt Light partying as he was a 10yr vet. Relax, kid is living it up. lighten up. Hes not murdering people or slapping his girlfriends or being a punk.

  • Schwank

    If he did the oscars’s  it would be tame in comparison.  Look at what the internet has done.  Oh you  picked your nose in public….enough already get a job. 

  • Schwank

    You’re on to something there.  Perhaps they would use his naievete to their gain.  I dunno.  You know what I mean.   And he would have been dumb enough to allow it. 

    Why does an NFL Player have to be at the Oscar’s unless their is some wacko’s ulterior motive??

    Yeah like the women I used to work with 15 years ago, when Ii didn’t even know what the Oscar’s were, will tune in because Ed Reed is interviewing on the red carpet..   Some twisted Fuc&’s idea of fun.  Somebody did Gronk a favor.
