Yet, his expression turns sour after tasting southern grits, tied to Denver’s Week 8 game against the Carolina Panthers. “That is definitely the worst one,” quipped the future Ferrari driver. “What the hell is that? The texture is so slimy … that one really offended me.”

He also made sure to leave out dog treats for Denver’s Week 13 game against the Cleveland Browns, for his bulldog Roscoe.
