Gronk is the guy that everyone wants to be.

It's easy being a watt/tebow. They are predictable.

did you ever spend anytime in a locker room?

There was always the guy that just tried too hard to be a leader and came off as more of a brown noser than someone the team actually liked. Typically named captain by the coaches, not his peers

That's Watt.

Yes.

Yeah, I guess I might have felt resentment towards "that guy" when I was a dumb high schooler, or junior high kid, but as I've grown older, I appreciate those types much more.

I certainly have no problem with an NFL player being adored by his coaches for the right reasons. Furthermore, his teammates seem to love him, so your comparison isn't solid.

With watt it's the constant look at me, look how seriously I take football. Its the letterman jacket, it's harassing mettenburger over a selfie for no good reason, it's the constant advertising of how hard he works. Tons of guys work hard, but they don't make a production out of it.

right, Gronk doesn't want any attention, people just give it to him. Got it.




Good. You seem to have trouble with that concept.

It's funny in kind of an ironic way. He's just so genuinely fricking stupid and goofy that it's likable. Gronk seems like a good dude to me.

Like I said, you guys are entitled to your opinions, but you haven't done a good job explaining a reasonable basis of these opinions.

Yea the whole world thinks Watt is a baby back bitch because of the selfie thing that included a former LSU player. I guess all of barstool sports are pissed off LSU fans too since most of them tend to agree with the sentiments of this thread.

It's an example of his douchiness, I would say the same shite if he harassed Greg McElroy for no good reason.

seriously if anyone should actually have a reality TV show then it should be Gronk. A Day in the Life of Gronk would set ratings records

I don't have a problem with Watt but I see exactly where they're coming from.

Just because you're being willfully ignorant about this doesn't mean they aren't explaining it.

Barstool sports is ran by a bunch of douches who pander to meatheads. Bad example.

I mean the story of him missing a FT so the score stays at 69 just so he can run down the court pointing and laughing at the 69 on the scoreboard sums it up pretty nicely.

Wtf are you talking about? About 15 people have explained to you how he is a try hard douche. Anyone with a brain can see this and if you need any evidence, just go look at his twitter history or watch the Houston hard knocks.

You implied that it was a crying LSU fan issue. I proved you wrong.
