“Gronk up your Life" (xpost from Lounge)

It’s good to be Gronk. That’s both a fact and the title of his book, of course. Business is booming for Rob Gronkowski’s bro brand.

Everyone’s favorite fun-loving, football-spiking Patriots tight end is on the cover of GQ with the headline “Gronk up your Life,” managing to turn his name into a convivial verb. He is on the cover of EA Sports “Madden NFL ’17” video game, the 21st-century Wheaties box for NFL players. He popped up on the late-night talk show circuit, appearing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Thursday.

The Patriots will pay Gronkowski base salaries of $2.25 million, $4.25 million, $8 million, and $9 million over the next four seasons. He has another $1 million in workout bonuses and a total of $2.5 million in per game roster bonuses he can earn over that time, too. The Patriots were proactive in rewarding Gronk with the lucrative extension, worth up to $55.2 million.

Then I ask him what his signature sex move is. Why? I don’t know, really. I thought it was funny. “Hmm.” He thinks for a while. Then he has an idea. “Jacking off!” He loves that. “You gotta write that one! That was great.”
