Matt39 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Gronk was way more entertaining as a football player than celebrity. Kinda like Rex in that regard. He’s not interesting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The challenge for him is the DJ has become a pretty decent actor and he's absolutely killing it in the action genre. Then with Ballers he made a strong showing in drama-comedy. As of yet, I have seen nothing from Gronk that suggests he will thrive outside of the reality-TV genre. But hey, at least he wont have to wait tables waiting for his break so there's that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ re invented himself during the attitude era of the WWE. He made the smart transition into kids movies, where he would laugh at himself, then into the action movies. My kids like him, everyone likes him. Hollywood is full of idiots who can't act. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reached cringe-worthy status. I had to turn it off after only a few minutes. I'm 53 now and remember watching the New Year's Eve shows with Guy Lombardo when I was a kid. Those were so much better. They were entertaining and classy. Many of the contemporary celebrities that the Hollywood, the networks and record companies push are human zeros.

He is one of the smartest NFL players in decades. Made millions, never cashed a check. Lives on 7 figures of endorsements. Contrast that with our former and current players getting DWI's with guns at airports, in the car etc. Don'y give a rat's ass about Gronk but he is smart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if he’s smart as much as he just comes from a good family that gives him guidance and structure a lot of these pro athletes who go broke that everyone likes to mock they grew up with no family, no guidance and sh t education and then in college no one cares they are just there to play sports 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone is suggesting Gronk has character issues. It is more a statement about pop culture and Hollywood. When there is a huge market for a guy(s) that is *seemingly* a big clown with an unnaturally big and muscular physique, then a big part of your culture has questionable values and intellect. The Rock and Gronk may have sterling character and a quality intellect, but that is most certainly not what their pay masters are using them to push. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdxgreen Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Sad that he picked the wrong era to be professional wrastlin'. All my friends who watch WWE say it sucks now or that the sport is dead. I have no idea why. It's been decades since I went to the local Memorial Coliseum to watch Hulk Hogan unleash his 24 inch pythons onto the Ulimate Warrior. I mean, I watch Raw for a few seconds sometimes but that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gronkowski came from means and a family with it's own business. So, he had stability, guidance, and a lack of pressure to support an entire community financially. Doesn't detract from the way he's handled his finances, but he didn't come into this on a level playing field with most of these guys you're referencing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupz27 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Listen I like Gronk about as much as most here aka not at all, but the guy is gonna get paid, will he be successful very debatable, but paid MFing A he will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that's a bit of a stretch. Gronk's a character with a good agent. An old saying from a publicist/talent rep I knew is that "You can make something from nothing but ultimately it's the client themselves that makes the difference." And I mean look at Gronk. It's like he was made in an advertising agency on how to appeal to football fans along every demographic And as long as that ever present jock/strip club bouncer mentality is inoffensive and child like... $$$$$ What's that saying about Yogi Berra. God said to Yogi, "Yogi all you gotta is just be yourself." Well. That's Gronk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
