'It's Good to be the Gronk': book to be published by Derek Jeter's company

[soxhop411]

 
Christmas is coming early this year, Patriots fans.
New England tight end/king of the bros Rob Gronkowski is writing a book that will be published by Derek Jeter's publishing house, and yes, that is the greatest sentence you will read all day. Jeter Publishing, the New York Yankees legend's publishing partnership with Simon and Schuster,announced the glorious news Tuesday in a news release.
The book, aptly titled "It's Good to Be the Gronk," will "take the reader from the locker room to the VIP room," according to the release ... though chances are it won't fall under the erotic fiction category.
"Rob Gronkowski stands out on and off the field to his fans and peers alike," Jeter said in the release, per For The Win. "We're looking forward to helping him share some insight into what makes him tick."
The book, slated for a July release, promises to give an inside look at Gronk's life on the gridiron, from his ACL injury to his impressive comeback that culminated in a Super Bowl ring. Of course, it also will detail the party boy's fun off the field, which is great news for everyone who loves Gronk spikes, watching him hit on women and generally having the time of his life.
"If you want to be a chiseled six foot six inch All-Pro football player who makes big money to score touchdowns and win Super Bowls, and if you like to have just as much fun with your family and enjoying life, then this book is for you!" Gronkowski said.
Sold.

"Its good to be Gronk" would be a much better title, who the fuck calls him "the Gronk"?

Reinforces my point.

I suspect the apparently superfluous-slash-dorky "the" is there less for Dierdorfian reasons than to play on the "It's good to be the king" reference from the Mel Brooks movie, History of the World, Part 1. That's my guess, anyway.

“@BDCPatriots: Gronk book excerpts: Twerking, brawling, and his relationship with Bill Belichick http://t.co/Ez2CnB2rFa http://t.co/pm5VNYuqoc”

The Monday Morning Quarterback published a few excerpts from Rob Gronkowski’s new book, “It’s Good to be Gronk,” and it’s clear that Gronk doesn’t hold back on sharing a first person point of view of his wild lifestyle in his first turn as an author.

All phases of Gronk are covered in just a few paragraphs. From twerking at a bachelorette party for $30 to brawling with eight frat boys at Arizona, Gronk’s off-field antics are on display.


Rob Gronkowski Erotica Is Here and It’s... Something
The most football relevant excerpt, however, shows the relationship between Gronk and Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. Gronk recalled a conversation with Belichick during a training camp practice.



“Coach Belichick was standing right next to me and said, ‘Rob, you’re one of the hardest workers I’ve seen, and you’re always working hard when you’re here, but when you’re not here… I don’t know about your craziness off the field the messing.’ I started laughing and told him, ‘The fun stuff makes me grind harder, coach.’ He shook his head as he walked off and said, ‘Whatever works for you.’”

“It’s Good to be Gronk” is set to be released in July. You can check out all of The MMQB’s excerpts here.
