We all laugh at Gronk and rightfully so but he's clearly smarter than a lot of athletes with how he's managing his loot.

He won't be broke a few years after retirement. Good for him. I hope his team loses every game but I'm glad to read he won't be doing celebrity reality shows when he's done playing.

If that's true, that he hasn't touched his football money...my hat is off to the lunkhead. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 23, 07:13 9
- Yeah, I guess he just lives off that meager $4mil/year in endorsement money. - Jim Jun 23, 07:18 8
  - I don't even know why I'm supposed to hate this guy. -- nm - amanda Jun 23, 07:28 5
    - He seems like he'd be the life of any party he goes to. - Inigo Jun 23, 08:12
    - One of his better TD celebrations. -- (link) - Shaun Jun 23, 07:33 [youtube]
    - who could hate Gronk? -- nm - Beaker Jun 23, 07:29
    - He's a Patriot, therefore a cheater. nm - Jim Jun 23, 07:29 1
      - I didn't like him initially...I don't care much about party jocks...but he's just kept it at fun instead of douchebag. - Will Hunting Jun 23, 07:32
  - No, but in a sport where like half the people go broke within 3 years of retiring, someone having a clear concept of money is refreshing. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 23, 07:22 1
    - the 30 for 30 on this was depressing -- nm - Beaker Jun 23, 07:27
I'm also amazed that he hasn't gotten into any actual off-field trouble. He's having the time of his life and being fully aware that he's a pro. -- nm - Shaun Jun 23, 07:11 3
- stick to booze, don't hit women, don't drive your own car. It isn't really that hard :) -- nm - Beaker Jun 23, 07:12 2
  - and yet.... - Inside Out Pippy Jun 23, 07:15 1
    - For sure. -- nm - Shaun Jun 23, 07:27
I get the feeling people laugh with him at least as much as they laugh at him. - ty97 Jun 23, 07:04 1
- Agreed. -- nm - Krusty Jun 23, 07:18
oh he will be doing celebrity reality shows all right - to bang the celebrity reality chicks. -- nm - Inside Out Pippy Jun 23, 07:03
if there is free booze, I bet he does those shows just for shits and giggles -- nm - Beaker Jun 23, 07:02 2
- and the ladies -- nm - Beaker Jun 23, 07:31
- True. He won't do it for the money as much as the experience and to have fun. The boy likes to enjoy life, no doubt about that. -- nm - Krusty Jun 23, 07:04
