So you remember how he dropped all those balls his first season. Well he started to using stickum after that. A cheater through and through.

You really think he was going to be the best ever with those dropped passes?

Your not the best ever if you cheat.

Saints had better just give Cook what he wants because Bill is about to do it.

He'd be a fine replacement for Witten at ESPN.

That's $9m of cap space for Belichick to play with.

Pats aren't getting a TE at 32. Not happening LMAO ROFL LMAO

Really smart move going out on top and avoiding a crippling injury.

3 Super Bowls at 29, a great saver of money and hot women. Not too shabby.

I'm sure he'll have endorsements or other opportunities. Probably HOF as well.

Nope, they’ll get Cook.

Much respect.

He’s the only TE I’d take over Tony G in their primes.

Give me Tony G with Brady and Bill all day long over Gronk/Brady/Bill

I'm just sorry Eric Berry didn't take him out for his final!

Still waiting for the Malcolm Mitchell retires thread.............

God **** the Cheatriot with the goddamned Alaskan Pipeline, then the universe can get started on karmic justice. That being said, I wish it was us. Belicheat is the best coach that has ever lived. Brady is the perfect fit with him and the incredible luck that has accompanied their run deserves karmic justice as only the universe can extol. But I still with it was us.

As far as Gronk goes, he's a colossal bro-douche, but he obviously worked at his craft and put up with Brady and Belichicks environment which is notoriously toxic to non-robots. He deserves credit for that. I've also read at one point that he hadn't spent salary dollars, only signing bonuses. If he's done that, he's far less dumb than he lets on. At least had a moment of clarity to hire a decent handler.

So my position is that I can do both. I can respect what he is and did in the NFL. I can also yearn for everything Cheatriot to burn.

When you're all done jerking off with joy, remember that the Patriots beat the Falcons without Gronkowski that year. And against the Seahawks Gronk did finish second to Edelman's 109 yards with 68, but he was also only 4 yards better than Shane "who?" Vereen's 64. Oh, yeah, and they also won 3 SBs ten years earlier when Gronk was on the playground. Only two people matter, Belichick and Brady. And honestly I think Belichick matters more, given we went 11-5 with your favorite ex-Chiefs QB at the helm.

And at least Gronk retired enough for them to snag a TE in the draft. With a 1, two 2s, and three 3s, the Pats are still positioned to fill some holes (TE, pass rusher, developmental QB).

So, yeah, **** off. :)

Jesus ****ing Christ. The Patriots are living rent-free in your head.
