Gronk's much like Marshawn in that aspect. They play as being dumb but anyone halfway paying attention sees that they're using the media to create a name off the field. If Gronk wasn't a "party boy" and just handed the ball to the ref after he scored like like Warrick Dunn or someone, NO ONE would care about him. No party boat money, no endorsements, etc.I hear on some points, but the bolded makes the opposing argument.
How often do you hear Gronk get called unintelligent or stupid? I never hear it. They just chalk it up to Gronk being Gronk. Fun-loving, boyish, immature maybe, but never stupid or remedial.
But let a nikka tell the world he hasn't read a book since 9th grade...![]()
Gronk like Marshawn, TO, Chad, Peyton, etc. has effectively made himself bigger than the logo and helmet he plays under. That's something most NFLers will never have the luxury of saying.
