Travis, 34, was in good spirits as he drunkenly encouraged fans to sing along to a Garth Brooks song. “If you know this song, sing along,” the tight end said before he started reading the lyrics off of his phone. “Blame it all my roots, I showed up in boots and ruined the niners affair. The last one to know, we were the last one to show, we were the last ones they thought they’d see there.”

“And I saw the surprise, that fear in their eyes … Pat took that glass of champagne, I promise you,” Travis said, referring to the team’s quarterback, 28, as he stumbled over his words. “And I toasted you. Honey, we’re through …”

Patrick then got in on the fun as he sang the tune with his teammate.
