The only thing hotter than the F1 Miami Grand Prix was all of the talk coming out of it.

None of the chatter was more on fire than Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback being seen with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Olivia Ponton, who was the one who reported his house getting broken into last season, cited on the police reported as an "employee."

As if the elite NFL QB1 wanted the virality to continue, the former LSU national champion made his Met Gala debut in a loose-fitting couture suit. Fans had strong opinions on both sides.

The general theme on one end was the 28-year-old franchise player was extremely handsome with lots of fire emojis, to the flip side of looking like a dude dressed up like he was going to wedding in Cancun, or considerably underwhelming for fashion's biggest event of the year.
