NO DAYS OFF and Gronk looks legally dead in 2018

"Skip practice if you feel bad IDGAF" and he's partying like it's 2014 in Super Bowl 55.

Maybe that was... a good idea? I dunno.

lol come on man

gronk had a good super bowl but let's not pretend his 2020 was any sort of return to form

he was an average receiving threat and good blocker this year

It probably varies athlete to athlete which method is better. For Gronk, his body is held together by tape and needs downtime. For Brady, what could he possibly need to practice for. Bill couldn’t make exceptions because to do so would compromise the rest of the team.

Like I said before, Gronk was largely irrelevant this year. He blocked well but as a weapon he's not anything close to he used to be. He's still some guy named Robert the vast majority of the time

I don't know where this is coming from, Brady like took practices off constantly. That was the whole bit about him being listed as having a shoulder injury for a decade. Belichick maliciously complied with league rules by giving Tom practices off and reporting he had a sore shoulder.

Also I'm pretty sure I remember him getting like every Friday or Thursday off during the last season he was with New England.

The most lovable meathead.

Also lets not pretend he's totally busted. He's not Gronk from 2011 obviously but his statline this year wasn't terrible. 45 for 623 and 7 TD with another 8 for 110 and 2 TD in the playoffs. And he really hasn't lost a step when it comes to blocking. He's still a better than average tight end.

Impossibly Perfect Sphere

His blocking is fine. But when he has to move he is slow and stiff. He also can't seem to box out defenders and secure contested balls quite the same way he used to.

That seam pass he caught in the Super Bowl would have been a touchdown five years ago. And that's the thing, the Gronk of old was such a weapon because not only was he a great blocker, he was an elite receiving threat so his presence would create constant mismatches that Brady would exploit. Now teams can stick a LB on him and cover him.

Maybe I’m totally misremembering but I don’t recall a super bowl parade where people were as transparently piss drunk as the Bucs are at this one and it owns.

Like they are not “I’ve had 5 beers in the last couple of hours and I’m feeling gooood” drunk, they are tail end of a daylong bender drunk.

Marshawn fell off a float. Doug Pederson snatched beers thrown at him from the crowd. Ed Reed was singing 2 Tickets to Paradise for 3 straight hours. Dudes get smashed after winning a Superbowl.

"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"
In the early 90’s, after the Pittsburgh Penguins won the Stanley Cup, they took it back to Mario Lemieux’s house for a party that night.

The next morning, the Stanley Cup was found at the bottom of his backyard swimming pool.

Ever since then, the Cup has bodyguards.

Then and Eddie Olczyk taking it to Belmont and letting horses eat out of it after the Rangers won ‘94.

Yeah obviously people get hosed up, this just seems a lot funnier for some reason. Maybe it’s just the Florida aspect.

Or maybe because it’s less of a formal event this year and more like “hey we’re gonna go get hosed up on these boats and if people wanna watch they’re welcome to.”

The Tampa Bay Lightning had a boat party followed by another Stanley Cup celebration at Raymond James in the evening and by the time they made it to the second celebration they were infinitely more drunk than even these Bucs players.
