Rob Gronkowsky retires at 29
Who? Nobody cares.
An actual winner, something your divegrass team isn't too familiar with
F. One of the best.
F
but for me Tony Gonzalez was more impressive
Going out on top is a decent way to go
No one gives a shit about nba here, go to asp
What international trophies did he win?
Literally who?
F
still mad you lost today, aren't you?
F
what it tim bradley going to do now? gronk meant everything to that offense.
world football champion you dingus
Based Gronk. May his spirit live forever.
what the fuck else is he going to do? he can't coast on his NFL money for the next 50-60 years
What relevant international trophies did Brexit win in the last decade?
Someone post smug Gronk
Tony is the best ever
F
POST GRONK
the only guy SJW feminazi have no power over
F
Finally, now Brady will be exposed.
TSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Uh, guys, I know its international break and clubs aren't playing right now, but our NT are actually doing it.
Would you mind to post this on where they actually care about this topic.
>pats
TUMBLING DOWN TUMBLING DOWN
literally rape. i'm shaking right now
Why though? Did he get injured or something?
It'll never happen as long as he has Bellicheck
F
U
you dumb as a box of lint motherfucker
For those of you unfamiliar with handegg, think of him as the handegg version of Fatnaldo; an absolutely unstoppable player in his prime.
Unfortunately he also had to retire early from injuries (from dirty tackles that the NFL didn't do nearly a good enough job of cleaning up on)
Unironically could have an even more successful career in entertainment, and he had a damn good one in sportsball
F
The shithead boston dudebros over at barstool sports will keep him employed for the next 20 years just to say goofy shit and make dumb faces.
Who cares
its ok theyll make the playoffs and edelman will carry them
He won't live to see 50. Mark my words.
Being Gronk, he probably ruptured his spine drinking coffee
literally who
damn.
pats fans how do you feel?
i know they'll make the playoffs. But idk about a superbowl anymore.
their entire team dynamic was about having a TE that needed (100% of the time) to be double covered.
no one they can get now will make up for that.
This man, in my country, is a nobody.
It's all falling apart. Gronk retires, Brady retires in 2 years, Kraft goes to jail and Belecheat dies on the sideline during week 7 of a heart attack this season. I can't fucking wait.
get fucked Euros
yes he can
he's said before he saved up alll his nfl money and lived off his endorsement money
there was also a lot of talk about him doing wrestling last year
fuck yeah baby this is edelman's time to shine
Your men, in my country, are nobodies
Isnt he worth millions of dollars? Im pretty much sure he can live off what he's made from football and all his endorsements
Everybody other than Giselle and Neymar (every 4 years) in your country is a nobody
Edelman signed with the lions
F
Wow, but I absolutely don't blame him. Not even in your 30s and have already had several major surgeries to repair your body.
3x SB champ, had the greatest statistical season for a TE ever, and just all around beast. RIP Gronk.
>international trophies
implying euro trash and sand niggers matter
Your men, in any country, are animals
why does longevity matter when talking about HOF?
he played 9 seasons but every single one of them he was the best tight end and a MAJOR reason the patriots won those 3 superbowls (and even got there in the first place).
id rather have a GODLY football player who played 10 seasons in the HOF than some guy who was just overall pretty good and played 20 seasons.
No one cares about ice hockey
Wow bet you feel good after being racist online my edgelord
Fuck off
>retired by 29
wtf do you do in life now? imagine having absolute freedom while a millionaire
i fucking HATE the patriots
that aside, good on him. fuck the (((NFL))) and fuck cte, fuck injuries, he got 3 rings and can walk away and do whatever he wants
WWE
Kek
Are you retarded or what?
They are obviously talking about NBA
I don't think longevity is that big of a factor and whoever does bring it up as a negative doesn't know Kellen Winslow played 8 years and put up lesser numbers that Gronk, he's in the Hall of Fame.
Gronk is absolutely a HoFer. First ballot? Tough, but I don't have an argument against it.
This fucking hurts, lads.
He’s already acted and said he will act more
I miss him already
>living off what he already has for 40 years
is he going to become a miser? or move to the middle of nowhere with a low cost of living and never travel?
>millionaire
>freedom
a million dollars doesn't go that far anymore. he probably spends nearly that much in a year.
seahawk fan here, always liked gronk. Big goofball who just wanted to win. He will be missed
probably WWE, and i'm not even joking in the slightest. Vince would give him several million dollars to just appear twice a year. he won't really even have to take bumps.
F
I hope he finds his way out of football, he's a legendary player but has a lot of issues as a human being. I wish him the best.
Why do American football players retire at 30?
the wear and tear on your body is very real
Name a more unstoppable TE in his prime. Protip, you can't. I can't think of another player that just dragged people around the way he did either. Dude was a god damn monster.
I'll be dissapointed as fuck if he doesn't get in the HoF as a first ballot.
no he didnt you fucking retard that was Danny Amendola, who was playing for the Dolphins.
>retiring at 29 in any sports when you are still an elite player
yeah that's gonna be a big fat yikes from me
>Football
who cares?
You are an idiot who doesn’t pay attention. He’s notoriously low key doesn’t buy shitloads of cars or bling and hasn’t even spent all his endorsement money. All his playing millions are banked plus investment growth. He is fine. Go back to apehoop general and talk about 50k bottles of champagne and sheeeeeit
Same here
>broke his leg
>broke his arm twice
>knee is fucked up
>back is fucked up
pretty sure he's had at least 5 concussions
Body and mind are fucked by then for most positions
its an actual sport and takes actual athletes to play. Europeans wouldn't understand
lmao he won 4 owls without him
Shut up faggot, you're probably 19 and have no real world experience.
Sounds like Goodell's "punishment" for Kraft was to just not hand him free superbowls for a year or two, so Gronk gave up before his body did
>he's a legendary player but has a lot of issues as a human being
he has an issue with partying, but no where near as bad as 95% of the players in the nfl.
>Football (soccer)
who cares?
If you listen to Rob he sounds like he is missing half a brain. One or two more concussions and he's probably got mental issues in his 40s
your players do the same thing, just instead they go to China or MLS or become some Oil Sheik's plaything
Go back your McJob retard. If you don't think Gronk couldn't live moderately frugally with the money he's made plus endorsements along with whatever else he decides to do you're a god damn moron.
Go stick a soccer ball up ur ass faggot
>people only talk about him steamrolling players and stiff arms
>never talk about the elite speed and agility he had that had him running circles around guys
Truly gonna be missed desu
Average NFL game involves 11 minutes of actual play.
Twice as bright, half as long.
Absolute beast who paid the ultimate price every season. Fucking F.
youtube.com
Goodbye, Gronk.
Dis
>a million dollars doesn't go that far anymore.
Guy, I make 35k$ and live confortably. Gronk doesn't strike me as a nigger-rich guy, so he probably put his money elsewhere than hookers and blow like 80% of the rest of the NFL. Dude still has endorsement deals and probably made more selling his face for the Red Bull flavored Monster than he actually made playing football.
That's a meme. It still takes too much effort on the body
movie deals
consultant for every team that wants to beat the pats
WWE
Life coach
Male whore
>retiring at 29
why are mutts so lazy
I hope he gets well oriented and don't dilapidate his fortune in parties and excesses. I don't want to see him as a broken toy in a few years.
Ronaldo is 34 and plays for the best team in Italy
Isnt gronk supposed to be some kind of goat?
>greek talking about laziness
kek
In my country, we don’t think about your country.
You’re right I looked it up. It’s 10 minutes and 43 seconds.
Just like soccer has 70 minutes of sideways and backwards passing. They're about equal in action
Wasn't Xavi supposed to be? Jerry Rice played into his late 30s and Tom Brady will be 42 next year
You fucking socialist drunk, go suck a Mexican cock.
Ας τις βλαkείες...
He sustained a lot of injuries, his body said stop.
>11 minutes of play
>16 games a year
>16*11 = 176 minutes
>only play half since offense/defense roles
>176/2 = 88 minutes of play per year
>88 minutes * 9 year career = 792 minutes of play for an entire career
>792 minutes = 13 hours
THIS NIGGA PLAYED FOR 13 HOURS IN 9 YEARS
Imagine if players literally tried to hurt Ronaldo all the time and succeeded and then the ref just ignored it. I’m not talking divegrass ouch my foot was touched, I’m talking can’t walk for weeks injuries. Then let’s see where GOATnaldo is at by 29
CHI
He is unironically the main reason the Pats won the owl this year. His ability to come up clutch over and over was unreal.
yeah, and i'm sure Gronk has your same lifestyle, too
guys im a chicano, can i get some (You)s? thanks
Time enough to broke his leg, arm, knee...and fucking his back so bad
How severe do you guys think his cte is? Betting his brain is just mush at this point from all those routes across the middle.
build that wall, spic, you aren't black either you fucking wanna be spook
Football players run about 7 miles per game, 9.5 miles in some positions. The handegg positions that run the most run about 1.25 miles per game.
Football players regularly get injuries where they can’t play for half a year
Supposed to be what?
(usted)
His skull is too thick for CTE
CHI
Still made millions more than you, fucked more women, won more awards, and will have a longer lasting legacy than you. When the last person to remember you dies Gronk will still be celebrated. He’s honesty happier than you too.
>you can literally include all of Rob's snaps in a youtube video shorter than it took a guy to count to 100,000
youtube.com
yikes
you have a great deal of fat african gentlemen saved on your computer, user
Yeah american football is different from association football. It's a contact sport and it's not continuous. What's your point?
WWE is even worse than NFL when it comes to athlete care. What are they gonna do with a guy who's body is already broken. Milk it for a year or two? Wouldn't pay nearly as much as a year or two in the NFL.
Are you genuinely retarded? Every sport has players that get major injuries, it’s what happens. I’m talking about every game has three or four players that specifically aim to give you a season ending injury and every time the refs just ignore it. If that started for Ronaldo at 20 he’d honestly be done by now too.
GOOD RIDDANCE FUKKEN CHEATERS
you don't know a lot about pro wrestling. Given that it isn't real, it's very easy to just work a slower style and protect yourself if you're coming out of another sport. practically every famous wrestler from the 80s or 90s is a retired football player. all gronk would need to do is tackle people and the rest would be crowd work.
I just searched “Fat NFL” and saved one every time I made a post ITT.
You don’t need to be athletic to play it. Maybe in some positions you need to be fast, but mostly you just need to be big and fat like sumo wrestling. It basically is team sumo wrestling with an egg.
>you don’t have to be athletic
You have to be fast
You have to be strong
Fucking retard
you're spewing bullshit here.
2016 Gronk didn't play in the playoffs and they won the SB
I hope he does porn
honestly i'm upset that they didn't trade him before he retired. i would have liked the draft pick.
7-1
based and redpilled
FUCK AMERICAN SHARTBALL
he would have retired if he was traded, they had a first last year from Detroit
zero world cups
you lost a 700 year war
fag city
>legend retires
>zoomers turn this thread into another mudslinging contest over whose sportsball is better
>all those cards
Now imagine that happened literally every time he touched the ball for 9 years straight and not a single card was called. Not a single one. Now tell me based Messi lasts until now. He doesn’t plain and simple. You let them go for injury and don’t call a thing and things escalate until they get it. And then you come back and the escalation continues. Messi wouldn’t last five years in this scenario.
Your country has zero of these, you are shit at your only sport. Fuck you.
i would have traded him immediately after his last surgery, especially after they proved that they didn't need him to win an owl. every time he was in the game i just worried he was going to get injured after that.
Is there a chance of him becoming a likeable action star like The Rock?
i have never heard of this man.
please don't post about nobodies on my Yea Forums
lmao these third worlders are so mad for no reason, must be stressful being obsessed with the USA 24/7
Decent one. Has potential in comedy as well
Probably shooting at some kids in the webm
...
Brady next.
wrong actually
At least one more year, but yes
This man, in my continent, is a nobody
He's too dumb for CTE
he's well known for his restraint in buying stupid shit, he had an interview a while ago where he felt bad for buying one piece of jewelry off a friend that wasnt even that expensive
He's not like most of the dumb retards in the NFL who blow all their money as soon as they get it
Oh really? Post a picture of your World Cup trophy. OH WAIT.
Bongs can't but help started shit in every football thread. I hope they have another stadium crush so we can make fun of them.

You're just mad that sports we invented are actually played by people

Oh no! user was just joking when he made that post about your boyfriend. Is Gronk your favorite tight end, faggot?
He got drafted when he was 10?
england won the world cup in 1966
A couple world football (read: not spicflop) titles
jamal and your wife seem to agree
>not america
>people
Where’s your trophy huh? Where is it?
>started 20 years ago.
>about to turn 30
2010 was 20 years ago or Gronk was 10 years old when drafted?
Was someone else drafted in his family 20years ago?
I’m confused.
Same thought here.
Bongs can be incredibly narrow-minded sometimes. It's weird.
It's probably from living on an actual island for that long. Didn't they "rule the waves" once upon a time too? You'd think they'd be more open afterwards.
google is your friend
Lmao. Pedro, that says "It all started at 20 years old on stage at the NFL Draft"
Wouldn't be better to post this on the handegg general?
Y'all just getting bantered here.
plot twist, in 20 years he will be 18
"It all started at 20 years old" means he was 20 at the draft, not that he was drafted 20 years ago.
Getting desperate?
a lot of people in brazilian media says he is, without question, the best TE ever
I don't know many TE, even less historically. Is it fair to say that gronk is really the GOAT?
No. One of the many perks of living in the greatest country in the world is a mindset that we can post this wherever we want and not be confined to a "general".
One last time
>G-GRONK, HELP MEEEE!!
The only other argument is Tony Gonzales but Gronk is superior.
He's third behind Gonzalez and Gates
why are people acting like $20-30 million (idk his career earnings) isnt enough money for several lifetimes?
>Is it fair to say that gronk is really the GOAT?
Yes.
The only knock against him is his short career and a lot of injuries.
fucking based
Yes. He was injury prone but very dominant (think Fatnaldo dominant) in the games he did play in.
it should be pinned on the top of this subredit
Imagine being so huge that you are practically useless in any position you play that you are forced to retire because every time you run your fucking knee blows out lmao
>B-Brady is f-finished
says increasing nervous journalist for the 9th time
Is there any chance he'll rejoin the Pats once they are in playoffs and he has rested his body enough? What the fuck will Brady do this year? He only has Edelman as a reliable receiver. Maybe this is the year of the Patriots going for a run offense.
>American reading comprehension
I can just picture them trying to force a Gronk v Brock storyline for 10 years without it ever happening because of the constant steroid/injury postponements
fpbp
When you're right you're right
Ah, didn’t read it close enough.
He's talking about him being a 20 yo dude, Μαλάkα
Should have read it better, I was wrong.
Maybe he wants to play in the AAF lol.
Gronk looked pretty banged up when he was out there. I couldn’t imagine how much pain that he is constantly in when he turns it up on game day.
they'll draft Noah Fantt
He's going to be the Shaq of the NFL
>ITT yuromuslims seething because this board isn't a soccer circlejerck
American website, American sports, if anything soccer should be exiled to Yea Forums since they fake divings and injuries better than the WWE
I knew you were always cooler than El Salvador
fucking dumbass
Didn’t read twice.
t. Am brainlet
No Tony Gonzalez was better
>zoomers don't even understand the nature of trash being talked
>Being this retarded
>Thinking you deserve a trip
underrated
Imagine being a toothpaste person and thinking povertyball means anything.
Is he going to WWE?
if you're gonna post complaining about something, you better fucking make sure you understand it. lurk more you fucking imbecile.
I’m throughly BTFO’d
Tony Gonzalez
Shannon Sharpe
Antonio Gates
Dave Caspar
Quality over quantity.
That's ok dude, stop torturing yourself.
lol how, what has tony even won?
>muh rings
Don't be stupid, these aren't coaches or QBs we're talking about here.
Why do you walk towards the camera?
>loses to a part-time dentist
>loses to two literal who nations in the sport you """invented"""
OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO HAHAHA LOOK AT THIS DOOD
Because NFL players frequently live well beyons their means. 20-30 million is enough is if you live like a middle class person, but these guys often live celebrity lifestyles and blow through their money quickly.
what an asshole
I love that spastic move just before he spike the football
>WWE is even worse than NFL when it comes to athlete care
It's not the 90s any more, ya simp. Only indie geeks have to kill themselves trying to draw a dime these days.
Godspeed you Polish murder machine.
F
>5'4" brown midget thinks he can banter anyone
try bantering a fly on the wall, that's around your level.
Had to look up TE, his picture is used on Google and Wikipedia. What a fucking legend.
It does not matter. The NFL was rigged. Just like the WWE. They know the scores ahead of time.
Gambling is now illegal. I apologize.
It's already posted on /nfl/ but it's not enough, it should be pinned. It's really hard to mention a better TE in his prime, but of course you didn't understand that
thats not saying much when you have the bills, dolphins, and jest
The Bills may be a contender next season, I don't see the Jets doing great things, and the Phins gonna flop badly.
Tom Brady is in his 40s and has six(6) rings. I don't see how this thing is divegrass exclusive.
this INFURIATES me!!!
Bell and darnold are gonna meme the league la
underage detected
you cant live a big baller lifestyle which he is accustomed to with just 20 million for the next 30-40 years. unless he downsizes everything in his life then its feasible
b
based nic bro
he doesn't waste money like other players (hasn't touched his salary money, lived of the endorsements), he will more likely than not get into the HoF and the dude is basically a trademark with the whole Gronk thing, he'll get endorsements until the day he dies, he can become an analyst/commenter, he also can go to the WWE or become an actor, money is the last of his issues
Ordered this after the AFC championship because I thought the owl would be his last game. I was right
Based Gronk
Reported
Go back to your povertyball general
Tony gonzalez is a low achievement bum
Dude never even sniffed a championship
Gronk is going to retire like Secretariat
Gronk is so lucky as a football player that he can retire with 3 rings at age 30 and 9 figures in the bank
He suffered one real concussion his entire pro career and he's set up for a healthy, happy life after football
Gronkowski is the American dream incarnate
>HELP ME TERRELL!
First ballot hofer. I respect even as a bills fan. F.
Low IQ post
Bruh... It's all about investment. Nobody just sits there with dead money in the bank, earning feeble, but reliable interest. You'd be surprised at how little of wealthy people's money actually comes from salary. Vast majority of the income of the top %1 is from investments.
>he's set up for a healthy, happy life after football
dude has had like 4 surgeries on his back. not sure about that one.
Cope
Gronk > Sharpe >>>>>>>>gonzales
>Endurance is the only attribute to measure one's athleticism.
Is this that world-renowned yuro education?
And professional athletes are retards that don't know how to invest their money.
>Sharpe over Gonzalez
Now I know you're trolling
>15% of Gronks career receptions were touchdowns
ungodly
>he can't coast on his NFL money for the next 50-60 years
he''s be dead in 15 tops.
You realize that interest gets paid on his savings, right? He's going to be getting hundreds of thousands a year just from the money sitting there. On top of endorsements, licensing, acting, whatever.
Assuming the dude doesn't go all Nicholas Cage with his spending he should be fine.
I want to be as big and dumb as Gronk in my next life.
>tfw only 6' 170lb
>zero rings gonzalez over 3 rings gold jacket Sharpe
Just deal with it. Gonzales was a bum for most of his career and he shamelessly stat passed his way to zero championships
Baste Grunk
>muh rings
alright thats badass
The gigachad. Too pure for this world and the NFL. Good for him for getting paid and getting out. All the bullshit tackles he has to endure would have really fucked him up if he tried to hold on a couple more year.
>muh regular season garbage time records
jesus christ
>He’ll sometimes wear a favorite pair of jeans “seven days straight,” he said, adding: “I make sure I throw them in the washer, like, day three.”
I'm sure he'll be fine. He's made more than you can ever dream of.
