that's kind of my point. He is wearing a letterman's jacket, big deal.

Watt seems, to me, like a try hard douche. Like it's all forced. Gronk on the other hand seems like an overgrown don't give a shite lovable dumb jock. Some people can pull shite off others can't.


Whats the opinion on Kelce?
The dude picked up a ref's flag and threw it, he fake jerked off after a first down, and his interviews are outrageous now
Can't tell if he's funny like Gronk or just trying to be too much like Gronk

I find it interesting how someone like JJ Watt is demonized on this board, but people eat Gronk's shite over childish antics.

it's called authenticity

Gronk is living the life as a big kid and he doesn't hide it

JJ Watt acts like he's the most serious person on earth to create a fake persona to market

What seems fake about him? He seems like a good, salt-of-the-earth dude who does a ton of good for people who need it.

he purposely chucks the ball off the backboard and misses so the score would stay at 69 and then runs back on defense pointing at the scoreboard

J.J. Watt is a self absorbed douche who attempts to play this lowkey hard worker who doesn't want any of the spotlight.

Rob Gronkowski is just doing whatever he finds hilarious/pleasurable at all times.

I'm not following...he seems fake because he does a lot of good for people who need it?

If Gronk did this people on this board would be saying "cool guy alert."

Gronk wouldn't leak a report indicating that he was roughing nit in a cabin b/c he's so serious and like Rocky Balboa, when he bought a luxurious cabin

Gronk would buy the cabin and nobody would know about it until he released Instagram pics of him with bitches in that cabin

Gronk reminds me a lot of The Todd from Scrubs. He is who he is and he totally embraces it.

It was all the same sentence.

And you know this how? The dude delivered pizzas for pizza hut in college when he really had no considerable fame.

He runs a charity that raises 100s of thousands of dollars for children that need it.

and you are saying that this is/was all a marketing ploy, and Gronk's party boy antics have nothing to do with Gronk marketing himself?

You are entitled to your opinion, but I am just trying to understand.

People want to see Gronk.

JJ wants people to see him.


That's the difference.

I guess I don't get why we are so hung-up on the cabin thing. Why does this bother people?
