I miss football…

Who cares what rich athletes do with their own time… seriously… I stopped watching MTV 20 years ago for just that reason …

Lookit! I love Gronk as much as everyone. Raw kid having tons of fun IMO. But I have to ask. Why does he keep getting drunk and dancing wildly out of control with MEN?! He better watch out on that one because the media hawks will notice it the next time around and begin asking the sheeeesh question.

This will not last long either way. If he doesn’t grow up soon; this life style will catch up with him. I mean he is coming up on his mid 20s. He’s not a college kid anymore. Most the people grow up by then or it means they have issues.

Gronk has not hurt himself…YET! I suspect this is what worries The Pats coaching staff and front office. The fact that he hasn’t hurt himself while partying is a fact as of this writing. The Pats might be wondering about the quality of his decision-making process as well as the final choices he actually selects. If a business is paying someone millions, it makes common sense to me that the boss might be concerned about a TWICE broken arm. Personally I do not care, however, I can understand the employer’s possible consternation over this “meathead,” as his mate calls him.

If the Pats organization is so concerned with his health, maybe they should pull him off of an extra point attempt when up 30 points with minutes left.

Gronk is partying and loving life.

As long as he keeps Gronk spiking, (17 td’s, then 11 last year)? I think he’ll be fine in New England.

No other team in the league has a talent even remotely close to the Gronk. His blocking and pass catching skills are unbelievable.

i think the only reason it’s a story is because new england has set this standard where damn near all of their players buy in to the discipline of their head coach , so much so that you hadn’t really ever seen new england players acting like this under belichick

when faulk got busted for pot that was huge news, more so than it would have been with another team because of the standard their coach has set

i agree with mankins, what gronk’s doing is so tame by comparison to other nfl players getting themselves in legit trouble

Looks like Gronk the Meathead will be the first white NFL player to be broke 2 years after he quits playing!

Vegas anyone?

And if Gronkowski gets injured again this up coming season, and the season after that, I suspect most of the people here who don’t have a problem with him partying, will all of a sudden have a big problem with him partying.

His freakin’ name is Gronk for Christ’s sake. What do you expect him to do with 6 months off, write a book about modern existentialism?

He’s going to get drunk and take his shirt off. Let a playa play.

He’s not breaking the law! He’s a KID!! Leave him alone he’s a good homegrown Buffalo boy. People hate on the kid because they are jealous. That’s it.

I’m the farthest thing from a Patriots fan, but I love Gronk. The guy can play, AND he can party. Mankins is spot on–Let the kid do whatever he wants as long as he doesn’t hurt anyone, especially himself.

There are only two small groups of people who frown on “Gronk being Gronk”–Pats fans who take everything involving the Patriots too seriously after eight years of no Super Bowl wins despite the presence of Belicheat and Tammy Brady, and people who take EVERYTHING too seriously and never want ANYONE to have fun.

Party on, Gronk!

As a Colts fan that hates the Pats, it’s hard to hate Gronk. He’s young, dumb, rich, and happy. Would that we were all so lucky.

He’s not punching cops, or making a sex tape, or driving drunk, or stabbing people and burning the evidence, or raping women in bathrooms or hotels, or making it rain in strip clubs, or fighting people, or shooting at people, or trying to carry a gun on a plane, or taking PEDs, or running people off the road and then criminally intimidating them, or killing a pedestrian with his car, or throwing his teammates/coach/front office under the bus, or any one of a million other incredibly stupid/harmful/negative things other football players have done.

He parties with his shirt off.

Look where that got Namath; on National TV sloppy drunk, asking a respected female employee to kiss him.

As long as Gronk is the best TE in the NFL by far, bar none (best blocker, best redzone threat, average to above intermediate threat) and he's not getting arrested, I don't care what he does.

Joe Namath was once interviewed and questioned about his nightlife and being out late with different women on a regular basis during the season. Joe replied, “As a single guy, if you can’t go out and buy a pretty lady a drink…well, that’s just un-American”.

When he’s body-slamming his buddies and hitting the ground on that broken arm I think the team should feel some concern. Go ahead, party, dance without your shirt on, but you need to protect the arm.

Breaking news! Kids in their 20′s like to drink beer, party and chase tail on their days off and while on vacation, especially in Vegas. Actually most men do until they have family or wives, of which Gronk has neither!

As long as the Pats keep choking in big games, Gronk can party all he wants.
