Fadingpain Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 48 minutes ago, NoSaint said: I figured that would get comments but dude has to be slightly aware of the fact that he’s breaking down. He’s got to be a 7.2 forty at this point, held together by duct tape and coming off a head injury Jokes (and serious comments) about him being a caveman aside— I could see him being a guy that gets that there’s something beyond football Based on his comments I think there is no doubt he is seriously considering retirement. Whether or not he will retire, who knows! Maybe Gronk doesn't even know himself, at least yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, say, after he gets his bell rung and you have to ask him questions about whether he has a concussion, how could you tell? When he can't remember where the afterparty is.

cba fan Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Fadingpain said: Florio commented on that after the game, stating that Gronk has always lived off endorsement money and he has saved all salary income. Which is a weird thing to say unless it is true. I was wondering how that bit of information is floating around. Maybe Gronk mentioned this in some interview somewhere? Media has reported this about Gronk and Marshaw Lynch multiple times. They may not come off as the smartest guys in the world but that is genius management of money by any standard even if it is not "100%" accurate.

Fadingpain Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 1 minute ago, Koko78 said: Stop with this. We all know that he has to finish his PhD thesis in both quantum and particle physics first. He has some amazing things to add to our current understanding of string theory. In Gronk's world, string theory means playing around with a loose thread on your game jersey while not knowing how you can get rid of it. Thus creating multiple theories on how to solve the problem, like: 1) Burn it with fire 2) Smash it with a big rock 3) Hide the jersey and say it was lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. But how much money do you have to spend for a rubber mallet to club your forehead, some beef jerky and a case of Keystone Light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gronk, like Marshawn Lynch, has reportedly saved every single penny he's earned from his contracts. He lives on his endorsement money. He may look, talk and act like a caveman, but he's not a total fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardb1952 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I like Gronk minus the hit on TW. He has taken some big hits and has had some painful back problems. I can certainly understand getting out while he has the opportunity to lead a less painful retirement. I am sure he will have opportunities to make a good living after football. Being able to have your health and be able to enjoy your life without additional pain has to be something he should seriously consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
