In my opinion, very. Perry is, as well. Perry didn't seem to be leaning that way quite as much as Curran, but he certainly didn't dismiss the possibility, either.Is Curran reputable?
I don't listen to many reporters I use this website for my Patriot fix.
I agree about understanding if he were to hang it up. I think it's really too bad he got concussed in the AFCCG. Up to that point, it could be argued he was having his healthiest season in years, perhaps ever. I think guys, correctly, look at concussions very differently than they did even a few years ago, and I really think Gronk's may have caused him to do the same. Sad to me if it's over, but I'd understand, but damn I hope it isn't.I cannot say that I blame him ...
That said I think his popularity outside of the game will have a short shelf life.
I don’t have a problem with Gronk retiring if he feels that is what’s right, but I WOULD have a problem with it being dragged out. It can be handled if he does it early enough.
Google Tiki and Tierney. Far from dead, LOL!I assumed it was a short-term, post-disappointing season thing. Still think he'll play next year, but it's a little disconcerting how it's still up in the air...but still, only February.
If he's worried about his health, then of course god bless 'em, etc. But I do hope he's not seeing a big second life as a "celebrity." Number one, seems unlikely, but more importantly, that will always be there to try, no need to rush it.
It's like when that idiot Tiki Barber retired because he thought he was so interesting and would be a tv personality or whatever. Where is he now? Might be dead for all I know.
I was kidding about being dead, but he had designs on being a big star, and having some random radio show is not that. He screwed up big-time. That's why he was desperately trying to get back into the league years after he retired.Google Tiki and Tierney. Far from dead, LOL!

I really hope not. Replacing gronk is not even possible really.
I agree. He's holding out for more money and he deserved WR, not TE, money.
That's what he wanted to happen, but honestly he was too boring for him to get any traction. He was failing before anything came out about himI'm too lazy to look up the details, but I believe Barber was on a post-football career arc that would have been similar to what Michael Stahan has been doing. Then Tiki was caught cheating on his wife when she was 8 or 9 months pregnant and that, rightfully, derailed whatever high profile TV future he had.
A few weeks ago, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer reported the WWE would be interested in the tight end if he retired from the NFL, and on Wednesday Meltzer joined Dale & Holley with Keefe to further discuss his report.
“I think that is more of a Gronkowski is going to make the call himself and I don’t think it is WWE is trying to — they are not going to outbid him," he said. "They are not going to spend $10 million a year on him. But, if he’s done with football, are they interested in him? Yeah, it is pretty clear they are.” As for what kind of money Gronkowski would get, Meltzer guessed around a couple million dollars a year.
