Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Rob Gronkowski was asked to choose between the three...kill em, marry em, or F**k em.

aristocrat Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 It was funny in a roast kinda way but you gotta think the league is gonna slap him with a bit of something for this. Goodell doesn't want any bad press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodell doesn't want any bad press. Hell Yeah. The way Goodell is right now, he'll slap fines on players for forgetting to brush their teeth and kissing their moms goodbye.

NoSaint Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Is it me or does gronk seem really.... Immature? I've honestly only watched a handful of interviews but I always am left surprised that it was a guy in his mid 20s and not a high school student (minus the fact that he's physically a monster). Maybe just a poor sampling, but when I couple it with his hooking up with a HS girl this offseason, I feel like he's just not very adult yet. Anyone else?

He doesn't have a million babies, he hasn't tested positive for roids, he hasn't killed or been busted for weed possession/intent, he hasn't called out his coahes or team mates. Who cares?

I think he is known for being dumb as a box of hammers off the field, and has made some questionable choices on more than a couple different occasions, but I agree with Mr. WEO that he is young and just a goofball having fun and not hurting anyone or getting arrested.

boyst Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I love F Marry Kills. I'd marry Tim, he's a breadwinner and seems faithf wait...no... I'd marry Betty White and feed her lots of bacon and bad food and get whatever she might have left. I'd kill Tebow in a satanic ritual making him profess his love of the dark overlord. wait...no...

Clearly a beast on the field. Just the interviews had struck me previously, then hearing the story about the hs girl a few weeks ago - it just seemed like he was on a different wavelength then most mid 20s guys ive been around. and some may agree to disagree on the nailing hs girls issue passing the test - but thats not a conversation i was trying to spark. i really wasnt getting towards character on this but more intelligence/maturity as purely a curiousity.

He may be a bit juvenile. But many mid 20 something guys are unemployed and living at their parents' home but otherwise doing similar sh*t that he is doing. If he was a Bill, he would be on IR and no one would be interested in who he was banging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I sure hope that was a college and not a high school... I was looking to see if I recognized anything. I went to Williamsville North where he played until his senior year. But it's been so long since I've been there, so many new faces and no identifying marks on the vid to see if it was WNHS. Can't help. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zulu Cthulhu Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) He was asked the question, it's not like he just went up to Peter King or some other NFL reporter and volunteered the fact that he wants to deflower Tebow. I don't see the big deal. Besides, everyone knows it's Taylor Swift's job to pop Tebow's cherry. Edited April 13, 2012 by Zulu Cthulhu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Every year in HS we would have Univ. of Toledo athletes come talk to all of the schools athletes in our theatre. There would be no "adult" supervision and we could ask anything we wanted. It would often be a male football or basketball player and a female volleyball or basketball player. It got interesting some times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaccof Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Just curious for those of you still in WNY - was Gronkowski all over the press when he was in HS? I ask because I graduated from WEHS in the late '70's and I just don't remember HS football being all that big a deal...of course that was eon's ago...

Don't stop billievein Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I played baseball with his brothers and I went to school with him. He never had any press or media around him when he was playing here. He was just a really tall HS kid. Good family and a good kid he is just enjoying his time in the NFL and taking advantage of his situation. Definitely not dumb either. All the gronk boys excelled in academics.

Class of '78 although I graduated the summer following my junior year. I remember football games up at South were a big deal cause everyone would walk around the village drinking schmidt's, goebels, or malt duck. As for Gronk, his behavior reminds me a lot of Jeremy Shockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking the same thing, I always give him the hometown pass but he acts like a smart azz punk that needs a good azz beating to straiten him out. He's a kid having the time of his life.

NeverOutNick Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 LOL it thought that was hilarious...good playful fun.
