Gronk's whining about "no-fun Patriots" is wearing thin

Kenny Moore says stint with Patriots led to depression

Before he became one of the most important pieces of the Indianapolis Colts defense, cornerback Kenny Moore got his start in the NFL with the New England Patriots. Over the years there have been plenty of comments about what it's like playing for Bill Belichick and the…

Cripes almighty. BB "****ed around" with Brady and Gronk because of his massive ego and the name of his boat? Pure fanboy conjecture best reserved for the Tampa Bay ghetto.

Well, the name of his boat? 6 Rings. Or is it 8 Rings?... he's probably taking full credit for the NYG titles too.

Having a massive ego alone isn't necessarily an insult. Brady has a massive ego too. And when Bill publicly comments on "Brady's age and contract situation", I consider that ****ing around with the player. For a guy who says nothing most of the time, why would he choose to open up so bluntly about his most valuable player? Then the one-year contracts, particularly the stats based one, which is interesting since Bill says "stats are for losers." I guess they aren't when it comes to squeezing your elite quarterback. Am I making this stuff up?

If you're going to start a thread about "whining players" then I think it's fair to counter with obvious reasons why some players ended up being disgruntled here.

He's fine now that he enjoys playing the game again.

Oof. Guess it wasn't the environment for him. Wish him well.

"The biggest fu*king as*hole in my life!" Bill even depresses Kraft.

Maybe we should change the Tom Brady forum to "Former Patriots we can't stop talking about" forum?

Yeah, because as they say, that's where patsfans.com 'real fans' are.

It's relatively quiet there now because those real Pats Fans are busy ordering their Raiders gear.

Gronk is the GOAT te. We don't win 6 SBs w/o him.

Gronk was good but not that good! He was in middle school for the first 3 Super Bowls and don't forget an injury caused him to miss the 28-3 comeback game.

I think he meant a total of 6, not all 6.

Gronk can say whatever he wants, but how many times does he have to rehash this?

Gronk needed to be pushed by BB to be his best and achieve what he did. Of course, nobody likes being pushed. That's it in a nutshell.

Yeah we get it. Being a Patriot is work. Stop crying about it already, Gronk.

Apparently he was thrilled the Colts offered him a participation trophy as signing bonus.

@Tunescribe I meant Gronk, not you bud.

Edit: I added gronk to it to clear up the post.

Isn’t there a Real Housewives of Boston gossip forum you should be on right now?

 

[crawhammer]

Kraft's words (the real ones). Not mine. Kraft doesn't sound too happy about the playoff drought either. I guess six phallic symbols aren't enough for him.

What's your login there?

Did you actually just type this earlier?

 

[tasmlab]

Is it whining or just reflecting (or even bragging about) on what is known as Belichick's mythos of being tough, disciplined, focused, etc., that everyone's celebrates? (I've read the quote several times but didn't hear how he said it).

Not much to see here.

This is kinda my take too. Everyone knows it's not easy to play in Foxboro, but the results were all-time great during that run.

It takes more than pure talent to win six Super Bowls (ask Rodgers), and more than top-notch coaching to win six Super Bowls (ask Joe Gibbs). It was a perfect storm that came together to literally make lightning in a bottle.

If Gronk wants to whine, I guess that's his prerogative. He's a free man. It seems pointless but...ehhhhh

Still weird that Pats fans take chances to dunk on Brady and/or BB. Fret not. We will, at some point, see what life without either of them is like again.
