The guy said in that article that if the chargers where playing the chiefs and Gonzo caught the Game winning TD he wouldnt be rooting for the chargers but he would be rooting for Gonzo to beat them. Now if Donavan McHurtalot saved my life some how I would probably root for him in other games he played but I wouldnt want him to beat the Boyz. Junior and DanFoutsBeard,

Off all the people in the place to step up to the plate, it's the celebrity. Not all players are selfish premadonna ass clowns. I can already picture a new endzone celebration for him in the San Diego game which involves punching himself in the stomach and spitting the football out of his mouth. Nice job Tony.

But if a player on a divisional rival of the team you root for saved your life, I hope you would at least root for that guy. I hope your own life means slightly more to you than your alliance to your team. I'd expect that logic from a Raider fan, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Ofcourse a Raider fan wouldn't own a computer and be able to read and write. Cowboysmitty9,

The reason that no one else stepped in to save the choking man is because Brett repeatedly got out of his seat and took 2 steps toward the victim, then returned to his table. Like the Packers, the other diners were simply unsure of what to do, and put in a horrible spot. Also at the restaurant during the incident were Brett Favre and his wife.

To expand on what WareWolf said, Gonzo not only attended to the photographer after that collision, he went to the hospital to see if he was going to be ok and developed a freindship with him that lasts to this day. And for the record, I'm a die hard Raiders fan. Kudos to Gonzo. Gonzo has always been a class act besides being the best TE in the game today.

Ya its great that Gonzo saved the guys life and all, I'm not discrediting him on that one bit, but if I was in a restuarant chokeing and Donavan McHurtalot saved my life by giving me the heimlick I wouldn't become a eagles fan. Sure I probably wouldn't give him such a hard time after that but I wouldn't want him to beat the cowboys after that. Anyone agree?
