My whole perception of him changed after that late hit on Tre. He’s scum. Expand He's a competitor. Sometimes emotion overcomes people. The fact that he cares is one of the reasons he's a winner.

I can't believe someone can blow it off this way. There's no defense for behaving the way he did. He could've hurt Tre far more than he did and didn't even show remorse for it. Lost all respect for him after his "apology". Expand I have complete respect for Gronk's accomplishments and effort over the years. Arguably the best at his position. Unfortunaly my lasting memory will be the decision he made to hit Tre.

Expand I hope if you put together a nine-year career and do everything right except for one split-second decision, that you're not judged solely on said decision. That certainly wouldn't be fair or logical. On 6/7/2019 at 5:16 PM, FLFan said: He is not a lovable goofball. He is a moron, with the mental acuity and maturity level of a 12 year old. Expand Interesting take. How do you know this? From what I've read, he's a 30-year-old retired multi-millionaire who's been more responsible with his earnings than most professional athletes. He's never been in trouble. He'll end up in the Hall of Fame. The guy's got the world by the balls. And you're calling him a a moron. I think he'd get a chuckle out of that.

Dronk (drunk Gronk) I was a little emotional at the time (insert the rest of the lie) .

Can't judge the guy completely on one impulsive act during an NFL contest. Expand That was but one item on his LIST! If He's being judged it's the whole package, rather than one event.

That type of behavior is wrong in any sports setting no matter how you slice it. If you keep making excuses for impulsive people, they stay impulsive for the rest of their lives. Expand Incident seemed like a one-off in Gronk's career. Obviously it was poor behavior, but my point was that this is the most violent sport on the planet, it would be ignorant to expect instances like this to never occur.

Expand It's easy to do understand if you remove any emotional connection you have to the Bills and Patriots. And then look at the product that the NFL delivers. Not shocking to see something like that happen on the field.

It's a known fact Dronk was a chronic OPI offender https://www.espn.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/251096/still-confused-by-offensive-pass-interference-youre-not-alone For every OPI foul this season, officials have called four for defensive pass interference, defensive holding or illegal contact. But as the chart indicates, OPI was once a relatively rare occurrence, called less than five times per week in the NFL. So really to get caught ..... you had to do something noticeable

Everyone knows that Bill Belichick's M.O. is to take advantage of broken rules until they get caught.

The sport is violent enough without the added assault. This has nothing to do with me being a Bills fan and him a Patriot. I actually was a fan before. It has to do with what he did and then him not even really apologizing for it. He shrugged it off like it was just part of the game even with the suspension. I just can't believe someone can see what he did and say, "hey it's football".

The guy is one of a kind there will never be another Gronk !! Expand Not only do you break the mold you take the pieces into a volcano and melt the pieces.
