From what I've read, Gronk's parents made sure all the boys did their homework, etc. and didn't just play non-stop sports. Their father said he emphasized sports so they could all get scholarships to go to college. All 5 got athletic scholarships and graduated from college. They were raised right IMO.

Gronkowski scored higher on the Wonderlick than most NFL players, including QBs. Immaturity is does not mean a person is stupid, even when immature people do dumb things.

Immaturity is when it hurts someone - the person, the team, someone else. Sure Gronk partied like he was still in college, but he never let anyone down. I don’t think that label fits. He just lives his life.

NE Pats guy here. Love the Gronk and JE11, both absolute beasts. My respect for Travis K was grudging, but gained a ton of respect for the brothers here. True ballers who show respect for all players. I'll watch them both differently now. Well done.

This is the shit I love. Real players talking football that I have the utmost respect for. Not being held back by the office bosses. Thank you Jason and Travis. Can't wait to watch more ❤️🤘

Gronk was way too good of a blocker to not have been paying attention to detail

Gronk has made a lot of money off that big party animal dubba personality. When in actuality gronk has never spent any of his football contract money and lived off his endorsement money. He was an all pro tightend and still sharing an apartment with like 3 or 4 other guys in like 2016 or 2017, it was a big story in new england when gronks place got broken Into and I remember thinking "WTF does gronk have roommates? He could obviously afford to buy his own house, MULTIPLE houses" but he just saved all his contract money. Athletes like that should be giving seminars to incoming rookies.

@@jonathanbraden2527 A lot of guys are like that at the professional level. They get hyper competitive and throw everything at it. That competitiveness is why they make it to the NFL or NBA, or any very competitive sport. Off the field when they're not competing they're very different. It's easier to see today because there are cameras everywhere and film footage of everything. Watch videos of any great player and it's way more common than you'd think. A humble, cool superstar like Joe Montana is the exception, not the rule. What's more common is Brady, Shaq, Barkley, Gronk, Kobe, Bird, Jordan, Sapp, the list could go on forever of all-time great athletes who quickly turn into the meanest, most driven, ruthless players on the field.

Pretty sure this (kzread.info/dash/bejne/g3V1psSPmdbThrA.html -- 1/:28/:29 mark if it doesn't jump to the timestamp) is the play where Gronk hits Vanden Bosch on the toss crack. If you listen you can hear what sounds like someone spazzing out screaming on the field...as a longtime Pats fan I am 99.9% certain these are the spastic, Ric Flair-style screams of delight of Gronk - who you can see basically headbanging with joyous rage at the top of the screen after the block before the camera pans away. To his credit, Vanden Bosch popped right up, but I didn't see him take another snap during this series before CBS shows him grimacing in pain on the sideline and Phil Simms points out that he's out.

Gronk being an idiot savant is totally on-brand.

Whoa. That square root example was actually really close. 1022 is almost 1024, which is 2^10, so the square root is 2^5. Now Edelman did say 64 (2^6) instead of 32 (2^5), but that's still crazy fast math. That made me check if his dad is the Computer Scientist Alan Edelman (he's not)

Terrible quick math considering 60x60 is 3600. Real quick, you know 1022 is closer to 900 than 1600 and can guess low 30s.

Skip this and just watch the whole show with edelman 90 minutes.

Go watch the hit Earl Thomas made on Gronk. Earl was at least 80# lighter.

Gronk always comes across as a meathead in media - I wonder if the facade is on purpose or just something he does inadvertently. The way he talks “and bro, I was like, ‘you ain’t gettin me today dawg’ so I had to throw em out of the club” versus “he went low and I knew he lost his leverage since he was committed at that point, so I used his momentum against him to throw him down and juke to the side”. He knows that’s what happened it just doesn’t come out of his mouth that way. He’s an interesting cat.

Julian Edelmans “ Games With Names “ With the illest Podcast I highly recommend it

Watch the roast of Tom Brady and see yourself Gronkowski is a true genius❗️👌🏻😎

This is the most beta way of telling Travis, he's not Gronk. lol

"Gronk is like rainman" "To who dogg?"

Travis could quit with the potty mouth and be just as entertaining. Same with “Edlenut.”
