I know I said originally that this blog would be for WWE only (and it still will be for pretty much everything), but I also absolutely love the NFL and figured that I could do a post about the Super Bowl (or “Big Game” for whatever you want to call it). I’ll start by claiming how I’m a huge Tom Brady fan and I’m ecstatic that he won his sixth championship (I’m not a huge Belichick fan although he seems like a quality guy. He’s just a total introvert, but so am I). I admire Brady so much from his level of professionalism and diligence with which he approaches the game to his workout habits to his diet. I gained a lot of insight into these habits of his after reading the TB12 book, which was released in 2017.
I couldn’t be happier for Julian Edelman finally winning a Super Bowl MVP. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen another wide receiver who is as quick as Edelman in terms of cutting (not pure speed, just quickness). He’s definitely a Hall of Famer who is second all-time in postseason receptions behind Jerry Rice. What is so amazing about that stat is that he has done it by being a dink and dunk receiver. He’s not doing that like Jerry Rice or Michael Irvin (who is third on the list) who had the ability to beat you over the top. He has done it seven or eight or twelve yards at a time (I got this small piece of information from Colin Cowherd’s radio show The Herd. I am not worried at all about Tom Brady retiring, as he said he is fully motivated for next season. I do, however, think that Gronk will retire. He has seriously considered it before, and he has many other options in terms of what to do with the remainder of his life.
I think one of those options is with WWE as he easily has the personality for it and he is good buddies with Mojo Rawley. He even helped him win the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 33. When you think about it, Gronk is only 29 years old which is still relatively young for WWE. He’s already got a catchy nickname too and that would make it easier on the creative team. He could make a very similar transition to what Ronda Rousey did last year. I just wanted to put that possibility out there (I’m not saying it will happen, but it very well may). I just wanted to put a little something into this blog expressing that I also love football, because you never know where that may lead you. The primary focus, however, is WWE.
