He lived off of endorsement deals.. The Man is a big kid at heart but he is far from stupid. He's got smart family and enough neurons to listen to them. He also had enough neurons to do his partying in private and hire drivers. Except for his clubbing of Tre White after the whistle, I admire Gronk, actually. 37 minutes ago, jkeerie said: It will be interesting to hear how he does when it isn't a Patriots game. All of what he had to offer yesterday was anecdotes from information he knew from the Patriots. Moving forward, he'll have to do his research like the others. Oh, gawd, that was soooooo bad.

More WWE than NFL imo. But maybe that’s what they want? 2 hours ago, thenorthremembers said: I agree. He is an awkward guy, kind of like a four year old who has candy right before bed. However, compared to the going through the motion guys who bring absolutely nothing to a broadcast, and repeat the same tired garbage every week, I think he is watchable. If nothing else you may get a nugget like saying Edleman gets the nut once and awhile. Very surprised someone was willing to put him on TV, a bit of a ticking time bomb, but thats the fun of it for me. Got any clips? That would be interesting ... but mostly ..... Did you expect him to not suck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy played a clean career. The dirty hit on White was disgusting. But it was an isolated incident. Would it be fair to label you based on one bad life decision? I certainly wouldn't want to be labeled based on the one worst thing I've ever done.

muppy Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 this was a freak show signing which will be a horror show to listen to...the only thing I like about it is the bitterness pats fans may be feeling in realizing he really IS done with football......if being a pats wasnt enough I lost all respect after the metal enhanced forearm shiver he laid into Tre Whites head I'll Never forget that.....I wish he his hottie GF and a umbrella trimmed pina colada would go make bro babies on some FAR AWAY Island and be Off my TV screen. pfft gronk on Tv #FREAKSHOW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Gronk sounded better than I thought he would, but had nothing to add. I was expecting him to be somewhere in between a cave man and a rowdy frat boy, so he exceeded my expectations there. He came in as expected with his "content," which was nil if it wasn't about the Patriots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I have always found the utter hate Gronk receives here to be interesting, considering he is a native WNYer. If every last thing about him and his career was the same but with him as a Bill instead of a Patriot, there would be a 50 foot tall gold statue of him somewhere in Buffalo and he would be in contention for most beloved Bill of all time.

thronethinker Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Does anyone even watch the Pre Game, Halftime, or Post Game analysts? I may have the TV on but its usually on mute. I cannot stand to watch that crap anymore. Its all just fluff and puff pieces that usually focus on a set few teams. I can get better stuff on youtube watching drunken fans making fools of themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
