OT Gronk To Tampa

How many athletes can stay retired when still at a young age
 
The marketing angles are endless. Tampa will make their money back in ticket sales, inceased TV and AD revenues, and they can decrease their marketing/advertising budget. They will also let Gronk continue to wrestle and do everything else that Gronk does.

With no baseball or basketball to discuss, I've noticed in the past few weeks every time I check out a radio sports talk show on Sirius - they are talking Tom Brady to Tampa maybe 75% of the time. With this move, it could be TB & Gronk 24/7. :(:D:rolleyes::eek::)

Brady will probably pick him up at the airport after Gronk lands in Brady's private jet he'll send to pick him up. ;) I like Gronk. I'm glad he's coming back. Anyone think he won't enjoy Florida? (no state income tax) The Bucs fans will love him, and he’ll love them. Wow, new uniforms (thank goodness), a new sheriff in town and one of his favorite receivers along for the ride.

If you think Gronk was a wild and crazy guy in Foxborough, wait until the folks in Tampa Bay get a load of him, with all that Florida sunshine and fresh ocean air. I think we can expect to see the Buccaneers on TV a lot this coming season. Fans will want to see if Brady can pull this off. :eek:

Do you keep score? If you miss one does it count? By the time I could add up the hits vs the misses, I will be far too old to bow! ;)

Naw, I’ve have acute short term memory loss on the ones I miss. It’s more fun and rewarding to recall the things I correctly predict. I can remember those for years, especially the ones you call early in the season, and it, or the player turns out exactly like you call it. Funny how that works.;)

He already loves Florida. He owns a luxury condo in Miami and his mother lives in Ft Myers.

I read in one of the early trade articles that the Pats had a sweetheart contract deal with Gronk and he still had 1 year left on it when he "retired". He wasn't the type of person that was going to sit out and demand to renegotiate his contract even after being a Pro Bowl caliber player and 3 time SB champion.
So, seeing how that contract was current, did the Bucs offer him a new one (depending on the results of his physical)?

I might have to pop over to Tampa for some games. I used to avoid Foxboro because you had to dress in 14 layers of clothes to be warm. In Florida, it’s shorts and flip-flops weather. I went to the Camping World bowl in January and wore shorts and a tee. (It was Notre Dame’s bowl; I wore a UConn shirt)

How do you put all that weight back on and regain all that strength ? It will be interesting to watch.

I certainly missed watching Gronk this last season. And I do understand the frustration of being sidelined. Nonetheless, I'm looking at his physical history and wishing that he had found satisfaction in volunteer work or coaching.

Gronkowski estimates he's had '20 concussions' in the NFL

Gronkowski said he'd let his son play football after educating him about what he went through in the game.

If this season is played there will be some questions answered. One will be the the influence that playing for a Belichick coached team had on Brady. Let us not forget that the quarterbacks who replaced him had winning records but, with the exception of Jimmy Garappolo, regressed when they went to other teams. The second is the physical endurance of Gronkowski. After playing high school, college, and, finally, pro ball for nine years, one year off is not going to absolve his body of the wear and tear it accumulated. The third is their desire to get out of the process of doing things "The Patriot Way." I'm not sure if there is a "Tampa Bay Way" but theirs is not a history of consistency the ownership of the Pats have shown. All in all this should be a most interesting season.

I been down to Tampa twice within a year just to see NFL games... the weather was amazing Nov 2018 and Sept 2019. Only times I ever watched a NFL game in person... beautiful view
 
Daddy,
Tampa will theoretically be coming to the Meadowlands this season and believe it or not to Foxboro next season. Can you imagine the noise when #12 leads Tampa out of the tunnel like he did the Pats all those years? I can see my son and I paying through the roof on stubhub for tickets to that game.
