Gronk Was Wrong

Former Pats player and current NBC analyst Rodney Harrison was very critical of the team's post-game party after the Super Bowl. He called out Rob Gronkowski for acting immature in the videos that showed him and Matt Light dancing without their shirts on.

Harrison said that this never would have happened during his time with the team. He won titles with them in 2003, 2004 and was on the 2007 team that lost to the Giants. He was also on the 1994 team with the San Diego Chargers that also lost. He said this type of behavior would never occur with those teams.

I agree with Rodney. I think Gronk was way out of line. He should have been more subdued and somber. The guy just played in the biggest game of his life and his team lost. They should not be making a public spectacle of themselves.

Gronk must be under the delusion that he will be making the Super Bowl an annual event. He is so wrong in his thinking. He is only 22 and acts like he is in high school. He has become a fan favorite for his larger than life personality on a team that toes the line for everything.

As a fan, it looks like the loss didn't matter to him. I'm sure it did, but it's all about perception. Gronk has a bright future ahead of him. His ability can take him to Canton. He might be goofy the rest of his career, but I wish he showed the fans more respect. Everyone felt bad enough about the loss to the Giants. He didn't need to treat the rest of the night like it was a frat party.
