Except, again, your kicker's pretty much kicking an extra point...actually even shorter than that if it's at the one, down the middle

High pressure spot though, Tony Romo against Seattle comes to mind.

Bradshaw should of took a knee as close as he could of, then after the Pats use their last timeout go for the TD.

Anyone here Greeny on Mike & Mike call Gisele Bundchen, Yoko Ono? I can't remember which it was but I think he said "Gisele Ono" or "Yoko Bundchen". Either one is pretty funny.

What would you think if your favorite team just lost the Super Bowl and one of the star players is out partying the same night?

On one hand, I could understand wanting to get drunk since you're miserable but on the other hand, he looks like he's having a lot of fun. It's sort of impressive that he's able to enjoy life immediately after a big loss. At the same time, it makes you wonder if they even really cares. A lot of players and even fans are completely bummed out and pissed after much smaller losses. This guy just shrugs his shoulders and a couple hours later he's having the time of the life. I think I'd be pretty pissed off if a player on my favorite team did that after losing the Super Bowl.

A couple of things... I'd imagine there were some highly effective painkillers still at work in Gronk, so that probably has something to do with it. Plus I've known a few guys who play sports and can give every practice and game 1,000% and still shake off a loss in a couple hours. Not many, but they're out there.

...he's human?


I'd be more worried if every player on the team was sitting in a hotel all night with their hands in their hands, dwelling on the game till sun rise


Something like going out after something stressful has happened is a pretty normal human response (if you fail an exam, you don't spend all night thinking how you could have done better)

Guess I just think it's odd. Wouldn't expect them to be upset forever but you'd think they would wait a few dews. 5 or 6 days later, you've had a week off to forget about it and could party for the weekend. He not only lost the Super Bowl but he was a yard away from where the ball fells, I would be amazed if I was able to have fun two hours later. Maybe Milo is right and the pain killers were helping him get his groove on. Just about every Super Bowl you watch, you see guys crying on the sidelines after the loss. Actually didn't notice any of that this year though.

Between working out, practicing, preseason, regular season and postseason, being over it an hour later seems weird. Especially when you have players that cry or say they'll never forget that loss. Tom Brady said after the first time he lost to the Giants, he couldn't sleep for a while and would be up all night watching history channel or national geographics(something like that) while thinking about how many single plays could have changed the outcome of the game. Gronkowski immediately went out and got his groove on. People handle things differently I guess. I'm just used to seeing athletes sad or angry after investing all that time and falling just short. Spent 400bajillion minutes getting there and they were 4 minutes away from being champions of the worlds.
