After Picking Cowboys to Win Super Bowl, Patriots Icon Gronk Now Blasting Them: ‘Losers’!
Rob Gronkowski, a former standout player with the New England Patriots, predicted the Dallas Cowboys to win the Super Bowl in August. However, he now believes they won’t win a single postseason game following their defeat by the Miami Dolphins on Christmas Eve and some poorly timed remarks made by Micah Parsons on Christmas Night.
Rob Gronkowski’s mastery of the option route allowed him to earn a living and pave the way for his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Gronk just zagged as soon as he felt a defender zigging. It paid off, as he ended up with 92 receiving touchdowns, which is third most for a tight end in NFL history (behind Tony Gonzalez and Antonio Gates).
Now as TV analyst and NFL insider, the former New England Patriots star is implementing the strategy. Leaning one way, only to swiftly change directions to both produce positive results and, perhaps, hedge his bets.
For example, this was Gronk in August picking the Dallas Cowboys to win Super Bowl LVIII:
“I’m going to go with the Dallas Cowboys,” Gronkowski declared to host Kay Adams of Up & Adams. They recruited Brandin Cooks to the wide receiver position; he can move quickly downfield and will be a fantastic addition to CeeDee Lamb. They also added Stephon Gilmore, who won defensive player of the year a few years ago. I believe he’ll play well and have a terrific comeback this season.”
“I’m going to go with the Dallas Cowboys,” Gronkowski told Up & Adams host Kay Adams. “They added Brandin Cooks at the wide receiver position, (he’s) a super fast player, can go downfield, he’ll be a great complement to CeeDee Lamb. Also, they added Stephon Gilmore … he was Defensive Player of the Year a couple of years ago and I think he’s going to make a great comeback this year and play at a high level.”
Zig, meet zag. This is Gronk this week, now saying those same Cowboys not only won’t win the championship, but aren’t capable of winning a single road playoff game.
“They had another chance to prove they could win on the road and they proved everyone right that they can’t win on the road vs. the Miami Dolphins,” Gronkowski said on the same show with Adams, only four months later. “No one really believes in them. That’s just out the window about the Dallas Cowboys winning in the playoffs now.”
Gronk, however, wasn’t done with this route. He went on to criticize Cowboys’ star linebacker Micah Parsons for … having the audacity to criticize San Francisco 49ers’ quarterback Brock Purdy.
“There is a proverb out there,” Gronk remarked. “Winners concentrate on winning, and losers concentrate on winners. All you have to do to be successful is concentrate on winning.
It’s quite strange.One of the league’s top defensive players is Micah Parsons. This year, he could be the defensive player of the year. But it’s strange that he tweets about a team who completely destroyed the Cowboys when they play them this year and then tweets about it following a defeat to Miami in Miami.”
Amid Purdy’s four-interception game in Monday night’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens, Parsons tweeted: “Down 21 and there no shots or development throws! Should tell you all you need to know!”
Gronk thought that was weird.
Then Parsons responded, in a another tweet saying “Prime example of, ‘Let’s attack the person rather than addressing the topic!’ Yeah. Because it’s so weird a football player is talking about football on a web site where you can write your own thoughts and opinions!’
Zagged Gronk, again, “Weird.”
The same can be said for the about-face pick on the Cowboys’ season by the Patriots icon.
