Gronk Hired as Analyst


Virgil

Recommended Posts

I'm looking forward to seeing him, actually.  He's a natural fit for this role.  Other than scores of jealous Bills fans, Gronk is pretty much universally loved.  I, for one, have always been a fan.

He’s a “life of the party “ type, but asking him for analysis is a bit above his skillset. You lost me here Gug

I don't think he's stupid, inarticulate, a meathead, or any of the other labels he seems to get around here.

 

I think he's a smart dude.  A great dude.  And a well-spoken dude (it's okay ... I can say that because he's white).

 

I'm hoping he'll bring good analysis, as well as some fun, to the set.

 

We shall see!

Of course you are a fan Gugny.

1. You have the head of baseball.

2. Gronk dents Super Bowl trophy with baseball.

3. Gugny feels like Gronk let him kiss the trophy.

I would have been less surprised if he announced an entry into the porn industry. The guy was a great player, but speaking is definitely not his God-given talent. 

 

Have you heard me talk?

 

Sincerely,

Shannon Sharpe

Didn't he announce after AB made his debut that he was returning to the Pats in week 10 or something near the end of the season for a playoff push?

I dunno.  Maybe Jason Witten 2.0 if he fails miserably as an analyst. 

Well, the spectrum of the Moronic Scale ranges from Witten ( complete moron) to Gronk (moron). So the potential to fail is there.

If Gronk, in his prime, had told the Pats he wants out and wants to play for the Bills, all the haters would be drooling.

Yep, right up until he lost all my respect as a player and a man for cheapshotting a defenseless opponent with a titanium arm brace to the head.

Gronk actually did a comedy special on Showtime or HBO (I don't remember which).  He was the host and did a few jokes between acts, as he introduced a series of comedians.  While he wasn't stellar, he was good enough to pull it off, which leads me to believe he might have enough to pull off this gig.  He won't be as polished as a guy like Howie Long, who comes across very well, but he might be as good as some of the former players who have done this.  Terry Bradshaw has somehow made a living out of it and guys like Michael Irvin and Shannon Sharpe are still a part of the sports media....Love him or hate him, Gronk is a Hall of Famer with high football IQ and he's a charismatic personality.

Oh boy, maybe we'll get treated to Gronk, Booger and Favre together in the booth someday!

Favre would sound like Olivier delivering Hamlet compared to the other two.

All of that is fair. 
 

And while I don’t hate him, I don’t have a shred of respect for him.

What is Gronk going to add to anything besides "you know, that whole team looks like they don't care...they all need to get laid!  Hey Terry, let's CHUG!!"  Probably not too far off on this .

Yes, yet amazingly Irvin is still employed. He's the same as Shannon Sharpe, all they do is yell.

 

Deion Sanders is no better.

 

i haven't voluntarily heard more than 30 seconds total out of their mouths in 20+ years with my PVR

 

refuse to believe i have missed anything edifying about football from them

Keep in mind that Michael Irvin has a similar gig.  Literally anybody can do this job apparently.

Michael Irvin should shutup and never speak again if there's any Justice in this world....
