Rob Gronkowski: Roger Goodell being ‘annoying’ with Tom Brady ruling
Roger Goodell is reportedly nearing a decision with Tom Brady’s suspension appeal, though “nearing” could mean almost anything. Like the rest of New England Patriots nation, Rob Gronkowski is tired of waiting.
Gronk went on CBS This Morning on Friday to promote his new book, “It’s Good to Be Gronk.” When asked about Brady’s four-game ban, Gronkowski urged the NFL commissioner to hurry up and overturn the entire thing.
“I think he should just get the four games wiped out baby! Roger, just wipe out those four games and make this easy,” the All-Pro tight end said. “Put this in the past; it’s pretty annoying that you keep holding it up.”
Gronkowski must have been feeling a bit more bold on Friday than he was earlier in the week, when he had very little to say about Brady’s suspension.
“We just gotta go out there and play football,” Gronk told NFL Media’s Ruiz on Wednesday. “Everyone has to do their job and I gotta go out there and do do what I gotta do to be successful on the field. It’s gonna be what it is, we’re gonna see what happens and if it doesn’t go the way everyone is hoping, we just got to adjust, so we’ll see.”
Plenty of people are anxiously awaiting the Brady ruling, if for no other reason than it will allow us to put Deflategate to rest. But if that recent video we saw with Gronk and Charlotte McKinney is any indication, Goodell’s deliberation isn’t bothering him too much.
