Greg Olsen reveals why he looked hammered in viral photo from Christian McCaffrey & Olivia Culpo’s wedding
Greg Olsen played with San Fransisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey when both were members of the Carolina Panthers. So it was unsurprising to see him at McCaffrey's wedding. However, what came as a surprise was a photo in which Olsen was disheveled and seemingly under the influence of alcohol.
Speaking on "SI Media with Jimmy Traina," Olsen admitted he had two drinks before the viral photo. However, he claimed that his dancing, sweating from the dancing, and his fashion choices gave off the appearance.
"So, we were inside. It was more dancing, sweating, acting stupid with your buddies on the dance floor. My wife's looking at me side-eyed because I'm embarrassing her, it was more fun," he said. (06:19 – 06:58)
"Secondly… I'm not a buttoned-up guy. That's just not my thing. So, we got through the formal aspect of the night. My ties off, my buttons off. So, I probably looked different than everybody else because I was probably sweatier than everybody else at that point," he added. (07:14 – 07: 28)
Why we'll see less of Greg Olsen this year on FOX
Thanks to his viral photo, the FOX commentator was in the spotlight this offseason. However, it could be the potential peak of his stardom this year, as the commentator is facing a demotion at FOX.
As Tom Brady is slated to take the number one commentator spot this season, it leaves Greg Olsen knocked down a peg. While the most accomplished quarterback shares the premier matchups with Kevin Burkhardt, Olsen will cover mostly lower-graded games this season.
However, with Brady's abilities in the booth and commitment to the endeavor unproven, Olsen can hope to return to the top one day. But for now, all plans look to have Olsen running behind Brady for quite some time at FOX.
