Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski won’t be working the red carpet this weekend, after all. According to ESPN.com, Gronk has been replaced by Ravens safety Ed Reed, who will be taking over as red carpet correspondent for the “Rich Eisen Podcast.” The Oscars are scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 24. Gronk has already made his fair share of offseason headlines as the tight end was seen dancing shirtless during Super Bowl festivities in New Orleans and wrestling a friend in Las Vegas — all while rehabbing a broken forearm. He apologized — kind of — for his partying ways when he was photographed wearing a T-shirt saying “Sorry for partying.”
