Gronk isn't worried about football affecting his memory

'I don't even know how I got to my hotel last night'






quote:

During the interview with Jim Rome on Jim Rome on Showtime in which Rob Gronkowski said he’d want a wife who cooked and cleaned, he also spiked a piñata, talked about his party bus … and said he’d rather get a concussion than blow out his knee. His logic was a little less than sound.

Transcription from CBS:

quote:

“Uh, so if we’re sitting here and I had choose would I want a concussion right now or my knee blown out, I’m going to say a concussion. Why would I want to sit there for eight months and not do anything, when with a concussion I’ll just wake up and I’ll be ready to go again.

Gronk isn’t worried about not remembering things later in life because “that happens all the time. I don’t even know how I got to my hotel last night.”


No one would ever accuse Gronkowski of being a philosopher, but it seems crazy to me that he would equate browning out from having too many drinks to CTE, the condition that has afflicted many former football players.

I’m going to hope that Gronkowski is playing up his character and doing his best to answer a somewhat tough question to answer, as opposed to having given no real thought to the lasting damages of concussions.

Well it's not like dementia is going to make him any dumber anyway.

I love where they recently asked him what he wanted in a wife.

It was something like "Cooks, cleans, smart, makes a lot of money, and stays at home".

I'm afraid to ask what she'd be doing to make a lot of money while staying at home.

For a dude who's sole purpose is to seemingly live it up right now it makes perfect sense.

Gronk will do more living from birth to age 40 than most of us could do in 3 full lifetimes

i posted this very taoist quote on FB last night

quote:

Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now


while gronk cannot understand that, he lives it

He also said this

quote:

He revealed his celebrity crush is Margot Robbie, an Australian actress who had a prominent role in "The Wolf of Wall Street." His reasoning? "I watched 'The Wolf of Wall Street' and I was like, 'Damn,"
