I'm watching NFL Live but don't see anything Gronk-related on the upcoming topic queue. Maybe he's going to talk about the Hernandez trial.

OK, now that they're done with Adrian Peterson, they're cutting into their topic list to cover "what Gronk has been doing since the season ended". Edits coming shortly...
edit: here's a condensed, rough transcript. Very paraphrased, but still...
---
<Showing him spiking stuff at the post-SB party, the parade, on Jimmy Kimmel, Kelly & Michael, the Bruins game, etc.>
Q: How much fun have you been having?
A: Traveling around the country, visiting friends and family, doing new things [ed: and people], watching games - watched the NCG last night with Julian, an enjoyable experience.
Q: Party with Flo Rida, reading A Gronking to Remember on Kimmel, spiking the puck at a Bruins game, dodgeball in the EC Hockey League, twerking all over miami... what was the highlight?
A: Obviously the parade. I woke up that morning, thought it was a parade, you could just go around. But the fans cheering for you... I came in with no expectations, but it was the best experience I've ever had. Going through the city of Boston with that many fans there, I had my family with me, more fans than I've ever seen just going crazy celebrating with you. Was the best two hours of the offseason so far.
Q: Why do the fans relate to you so much?
A: Dunno, I feel like I kind of live like a fan. I just want to go out there, celebrate, work hard, and do whatever I can to get the team to the next level.
Q: How much better was it to win the 2nd SB you played knowing what it's like to lose one?
A: Uh, way different. Was a blast to win it. We put in so much hard work and dedication, the whole team and organization definitely deserved it. And now it's time to turn around in the offseason, get back in there and do it again. And it's so motivating, once you've won one, to go back in and win more.
Q: Tom Brady is cliff diving in costa rica, playing pickup with Michael Jordan... is he trying to one-up your offseason?
A: I hope he is. Doing all that Brady stuff. I personally haven't cliff-jumped in a while, and thought' hey that's a good idea', I kinda wish I was wish him, experiencing that rush from that high up. It's a blast when you see other teammates doing cool events and activities like that.
Q: You like the thrill, you like to push the edge. We've seen a couple other NFL players do crazy things. DeAndre Hopkins wing-walked on a biplane. Larry Fitzgerald went to the biggest bungee jumping place in the world. How far would you push it?
A: Larry's jump must've been a great experience. <blah blah>
Q: What would Belichick's official line be on Rob Gronkowski trying to wing-walk?
A: "Just don't fall." I'm sure Hopkins did some test runs and stuff. And I bet he was wearing a parachute too, that'd be my priority.
Q: You have OTAs in May, you've lost Browner, Wilfork, Revis... how do you adjust?
A: You always have new players every single year on the team, you put in work in the offseason every single year. This year I just have to go in, worry about myself, be ready to be strong, worry about my connection with the offense, my chemistry with Tom, become a better blocker... if I can do that, the other things will take care of themselves.
Q: Workouts coming up in a bit, but you still have some free time. You're going to be in a movie with your brothers, filming a SportsCenter commercial, anything else crazy on the horizon?
A: Nothing dare-devilish. Haven't done anything crazy. Maybe I'll do some cliff-diving like Tom, go up a couple more feet than he was, just to one-up him.
<thanks and good luck>

But look at Gronk's dad:

Gronk and Odell Beckham are the finalists for the Madden 16 cover. Felt some trepidation, but couldn't help myself from giving our guy the click.
He's on Tinder. And he has advice for dating: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3083450/How-Patriots-Ron-Gronkowski-partied-like-rock-star-Vegas-birthday-celebration-reveals-new-Tinder-dating-strategy.html
Forgot to update - Beckham got the Madden cover. I guess we should be relieved. Frankly, I think they should just put Goodell on the cover.

Gronk gets convinced to make another strange video and do another strange video by another hot reporter.
Went for the Deadspin article rather than the source because they described him as "Gregarious tricep Rob Gronkowski".

Was thinking of going but realized it tapes in Atlanta, not LA. My sports gossip columnist friend is a good friend of the Gronks (she went to the SuperBowl with them), so I probably would have had company.Dollar said:
After the Spike fiasco I would just like to appreciate Gronk's choice of a party bus with driver. Given his partying habits that has to be my second favorite career move.

That was my awesome attempt at humor. I never heard of Curtis Stone and the last time I saw Monica Potter, Robin Williams was alive with a red ball on his nose.
Gronk just washin' dishes in a nightclub at 12:30am. My buddy took the photo (he was DJing there).
Right after that Gronk made some scrambled eggs.CaptainLaddie said:

Anyone who is used to being handled as a VIP at a class nightclub (and, me) knows that the kitchen is the dopest place to be as the night winds down. It's not so much a series of health code violations as a celebratory repudiation of the entire system.
They're playing the Peete family - as in former QB Rodney and wife Holly Robinson. Friend of mine went to the taping. He told me everything but I won't spoil it.
Those excerpts are great. He should write a primer on how to make the most out of your NFL career for rookies.
