The Media's love affair with Gronkowski

Recommended Posts

You'd think this guy received the Medal of Honor or discovered the cure for AIDS.  I don't hate on the Patriots as much as most people but I am really nauseous from watching the media give this guy a kissassfest.  That interview with him and steroid-head Rodney Harrison last night was like watching gay porn.

I turn the channel when he interviews because it is painful to listen to, but I have to disagree with you on this.

He is a baller.  He has earned whatever air time he receives.  My question is why da fark all all his brothers, cousins and dad getting press?  Are they trying to get a show like Entourage?  Gronktourage? 

If they get a show, the end of the world is upon us.

Gronk was interesting when he was a big dumb jock that did ridiculously stupid things and wasnt conscious of it.  Now that he's is conscious of it, it's not funny anymore.  

That said, the guy is an absolute monster and probably the most dangerous offensive weapon in the league.  And for some reason the Steelers thought it was a good idea to leave him open all game long.

As bad as the Jet DB's were last year they held Gronk to just 99 yds on 11 catches and 1 td total for the 2 games they played the Pats..

Guy almost scored 4 TDs on opening night, and you're having a hard time rationalizing why they are talking about him?

Pitts whole defense sucked, the pats 1st drive consisted of WR run down the field 10 yards make an uncontested catch and fall down.

The game was like so many others over the past number of years, other teams can march up and down the field vs that team and come out with fg's or nothing at all.  Other teams also have no balls at all.  You don't beat them with Fg's.  I'd gamble on 4th down on their end of the field more against that team than any other.

Yes he has, sorry.  Graham has had seasons as good or better.  Never gets the gosh, party boy hype that Gronk gets.  

Another miss, he's a comparable TE who doesnt get the attention.  you stop

Graham is more durable and a better pure receiver.  Gronk is not that far behind Graham as a receiver, but is an infinitely better blocker.

No reason to hate Gronk. Period. It's actually refreshing he doesn't talk perfect. Have perfect things to say always. He's more like able that way. When you listen to Russell Wilson or tom Brady talk it's just hate able. 

When aaron Rodgers or Gronk talk it's more like normal people. Which at the end of the day they are. 

I I will never understand holding athletes to higher standards where they have to sound like Derek jeter with everything they say. Never got it.

And this post says they're close and at times Graham has had better numbers.  Not trying to prove who's better, just at times Graham is right up there without the frat boy hype that surrounds Gronk

the steelers probably should have covered him, lol but the guy is more or less unstoppable

he faced man coverage by a corner/safety half his size. That third TD, everybody in the world knew it was headed for gronk in the third and goal from the 1.

New York born and raised. Can't hate this guy like I hate the rest of them. One of the most talented TE's probably ever

Read this and thought the half retarded douche was from the Bronx or Brooklyn or even Long Island where folks root for the Jets or Giants.

Turns out he was born near frigging Buffalo which is somewhere between Cleveland and Toronto
