TUCSON (KOLD) - After a pretty lackluster showing in the biggest game of his life, former Wildcat Rob Gronkowski almost made up for his absence in the Patriot offense on Sunday night.  Gronk landed inches away from the game winning hail mary, again Gronk almost made the play.

During the postgame press conference Rob was noticeably agitated by losing the game.  His answers were short and almost repetative to some extent. 

Rob's postgame comments made little waves in the media shortly thereafter, but it was the comments he didn't make after the game that has everyone talking.  During a Patriot invite-only party at Victory Field nearby Lucas Oil Stadium, Rob and a few teammates took of their shirts as they sipped a few cocktails and danced off the loss.

Here's my question to you, what would you do if you had just ended the best season on paper for a tight end, played in the biggest game of the universe, and had a few hours to blow off some steam?
