Rob Gronkowski announces retirement
- Thread starter DrFunk

Good for him deciding he actually wants to be able to walk the rest of his life though.
He's made of glass, this was a smart move. He'll easily still make bank locally since he's a goddamn hero around here.
Not sure how to feel. One of the best to ever do it and so young and would’ve loved to have seen him play some more but dude has had countless surgeries and injuries so it’s best to leave the game on top.
Hope he finds success in whatever he decides to do whether that’s acting or wrestling. Been a Pats fan for just about my entire life, it was awesome watching Gronk play.

He's had several back surgeries in addition to numerous tendon strains/sprains. He wants to be able to live a life relatively free of pain probably.
every team targeted to physically hurt him because that was the only way they could stop him. guy was playing with reconstructed joints all over his body. good that he decided to throw it in while he is still healthy
he achieved everything there is to achieve in the game
God bless Gronk in whatever he does after football. It's a shame the injuries shortened his career, but his impact on the team, and the league in general, makes him a no-doubt 1st ballot HoFer and one of the best to ever do it.
Can't wait to see him spike 10 football's and chug a keg of beer at his Canton speech in 5 years.

I’ll miss him for his incredibly dumb sound bites, but like they say on the Lebatard show, the guy is basically held together with duck tape.
Probably smart. Why do I get the feeling though that he’s going to end up one of those guys who blows all his money relatively quickly
Smart move. He’s at that point with his body where he needed to decide about the quality of his life.
I will never think well of the dude after that hit on Tre White. He could have paralyzed him.
Understandable. Got the rings, and he's seemed more injury prone in recent seasons. Now he can sail that party boat around the world.
So is Mojo Rawley. Hell, they should just debut Gronk by having Mojo talk to the mirror again only for the camera to pan around to an angle where we see the mirror and it's Gronk staring at Mojo back.
He’ll be alright. He’s a legend in New England. Even if he blows through it all he’ll still be able to survive doing car dealership and sketchy lawyer commercials in Maine and New Hampshire.
As a Steelers fan I won't miss seeing him on the field, but he was a beast and I'm sure he'll be missed by Pats fans.
He looked pretty rough last season but was a god when it counted, especially during that OT of the Chiefs game x 4th quarter of the super bowl
Gronk is smart to get out before 30

Its football, you would too if you saw what happens to your peers at 40
