Contentious C Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I wonder if he specifically waited until this weekend to, ah, fly under the radar with the news. Hopefully this means Brady gets the memo and doesn't feel the need to keep playing beyond this year (and doesn't saddle us with anymore shitty pseudoscience in his retirement).

I just considered that even calling his book 'pseudoscience' is giving it too much credit. Dunning-Kruger is too big tent to use. The world needs a better term for people who think they're making clever observations but are in fact clueless... Shempiricism was the best I came up with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Rich Eisen tweeted that if Gronk goes into the HOF on the first ballot - he will tie Jim Brown for 2nd youngest person inducted in the Hall (35 years old). They are only behind Gale Sayers (who was 34 when he was inducted) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny thing about this is that Nick Foles was the Super Bowl MVP and can probably buy groceries at any store outside of Philadelphia without anyone recognizing him. I think I'd recognize him, but I'm not 100% sure. I'd probably look at him and say, "who's that really tall dude?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofuture Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I'd think Gronk would care. He's not leaving millions behind in the NFL to take bumps for Vince. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWE may not care just to get a big star into the fold, but it's a world of difference. Kurt Angle wrestles with a broken neck, he's still able to work some form of a match on it (and did until he got it fixed.) However, every pro wrestling match is built around taking back bumps. Short of them showing him how Ric Flair took bumps after the plane crash (and even then, there's the chance even THAT doesn't help much), Gronk can't work a match.

The only viable games to put in that slot would be the Steelers/Cowboys/Browns and none of those exactly scream opening game of the season excitement.

RIPPA Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Actually the Browns game does since everyone has now declared them Super Bowl contenders. It is better to do that game week 1 just in case that doesn't turn out to be the case 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
