Rob Gronkowski explains how he avoided a trade to the Lions 

Gronk is literally a character from Blue Mountain State 😂

"And I stayed on the Patriots, ahahahahaha" His laugh, I'm done!! So much love for Gronk, he's a blast and an amazing player!!

Gronk is like an 8 year old boy trapped in a bodybuilder’s body 😂

As a lions fan. I do not blame him. “Engage same laugh”

Got a ring, retired, came back got another with Tom in Tampa...BB has never been played so hard by anyone ever.

“And I stayed on the patriots” Enters Joker: 😆🤣🤣😆🤣😆🤡

His laugh never gets old! To a legend ! Cheers

That laugh after "I stayed with the patriots 🤣 😂 it's the real winning laugh

LMAO his laugh is so pure

Yeah, my Lions suck. I understand Gronk.

I love this story, and the laugh at the end. Great stuff. RIP Lions.

This man finessed an organization not to play for them and you still can’t hate him. Gronk in a nutshell

Gronk funny as FUCK for this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 he was looking around for approval to laugh harder 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love how Gronk told this story in the nicest way possible (in other words, without overtly trashing the Lions). Thinking of you, Lions fans. 😔

For some reason "..and I stayed on the Patriots" is the best punchline to a joke ever. Incredible delivery

That laugh was so pure, like "the lions? Who tf do you think you are? Hahahaha!"

Gronk like, "Traded? I don't even work there no more..."

He would have completely retired if he went to the lions. Man that laugh after he said “I stayed on the patriots was funny af

Gronk fires his missile at Darth Belicheque's death star.

Gronk is one of a kind. His laugh is so infectious. How can you not be a fan of his.

His laugh at the end 💀 😭 🤣

That laugh at the end is so devious its great

Bro his maniac laugh after telling them how he foiled Detroits plans 🤣

It reminds me of the one rich kid at work that gets everything he wants but you cant be mad cuz hes a pretty solid dude

One of the funniest moments on this show. Gronks laught is hilarious

I like GRONK he is one funny man.

Hilarious 😆 I've watched this like 20 times... love that he laughs so hard at himself. 😆

Gronk may act like a dummy, but he's smarter than people give him credit for. He knows that you should only play on your own terms when your body is on the line, and he found a brilliant way to gain leverage

He laughs like a 15 year old boy who just got away with something. 🤣 It always cracks me up! Good dude!🤟

Gronk is legit smart on his feet for that! Way to go!

Now u all know how Stafford felt all those years. I’m happy for him lol

You gotta love Gronk he is so cool bro!

For real though Gronk is a legend at the position and to end a career in a sub 500 franchise would just he sad.

As a lions fan. This stuff doesn't hurt anymore. It just makes sense haha

Lmao it’s him laughing like a mad man after is what makes this entire story 😂😂

I’m glad Stafford got outta there while he still had something to give

Love this man child, that laugh 😂😂

When retirement seems to be a better choice than to play for your team. That's horrendously bad for a teams GM or team ownership(s)

I love how half of the comments are Lions fans acknowledging he made the right choice

One of my favorite stories. This never gets old. His laugh and Strahans reaction 😂😂

The more you watch this the funnier it gets …😂

And won another ring...

GRONK CRACKS HIMSELF UP IN RETURN CRACKS EVERYBODY ELSE UP!!

Recently Rob Gronkowski said there is one quarterback he'd like to play with and that is Joe Burrow in Cincinnati. He likes Burrow's competitive drive to be the best. Uzomah is a free agent after the season ends, but he's a fan favorite (rightfully so)and I'm sure the Bengals want him to stay. There's no problem having both Uzomah and Gronkowski on the roster. Gronk would fit in real well with their offense and he'd be a great teammate in the locker room as well. I'd love to see the Bengals management make it happen.

Man saw he was getting traded to the lions and said "Nope. I'll just retire instead"

His laugh is so awesome

Thank you Gronk for coming to the Bucs! You the man!

How can you not love this guy!!

That’s that Johnny Knoxville laugh 😂

Ughhhh mixed feelings, man. On the on hand I’m a Detroit fan through and through, and Gronk would’ve hands down been one of the most exciting players to watch in the blue and silver, on the other hand I can’t even be mad at him for wanting to be a part if a winning franchise. Lions are known for killing their stars.

Bro you know it's a good laugh when you start laughing with em 😂

Gronk is one of the all time great characters

Well most stars would rather retire than play in Detroit lmao(Sanders, Megatron & now Gronk)

For as goofy as Gronk can be sometimes hrs a really intelligent indivisual

I love Gronk! Dude is a beast and a soft cuddly guy all at the same damn time 😂

His laugh lol you can tell he grew up with bunch of brothers

If the Lions had Gronk, the Rams probably would have just scooped him up when they took Stafford. Imagine Stafford adding Gronk to his stable of receivers

The laugh

His laugh is wild lmao 😂

As someone from Michigan, I honestly don’t blame him.

Like the lions had a chance

Best laugh in sports.

We are gathered here today, not to mourn the death of, but to celebrate the life of the Detroit Lions. R.I.P.

Sounds like a low down dirty Belichik trade . Send a player he doesn't want anymore , to a bad team . He sent Richard Seymour to the Raiders Jimmy G to the 49ers Chandler Jones to the Cards . He tried to send Brady to the 49ers He tried to send Gronk to the Lions

And sadly megatrton ACTUALLY retired bc the lions wouldn’t trade him 😂

I love how they’re all thinking the same thing but since they represent the whole league, nobody can outright say “good move, nobody ever wants to get traded to the Lions!”

As a lions fan, Gronk, you dodged a huge bullet. For all the right reasons

U can tell this dude is a good guy. I hope him the best I hope stay out of football he had 6 surgery already his first surgery in college

This to me showed how inept Bill Belichick is as a coach. He wanted to trade Brady and Gronk, and look who won a Super Bowl without him!

That's why we love the gronk LMAO 😅🤣😅

Lol that laugh so funnny Micheal could t help but laugh his ass off with him 😂

And to think, there are players in multiple leagues that have been VILIFIED for asking for trades or otherwise trying to control THEIR OWN CAREERS. And at the same time general managers/owners are seen as doing their jobs for trading someone regardless of the players situation.

This clip lives 100% rent free in my head.

That laugh SCREAMS CTE

Gronk is a funny dude, seems like a good guy!

He is a good tight end knowing every play to defense is going to play it's not cheating at all and his quarterback deflating the balls is not cheating it's just an edge and all of them recordings from other teams practices had nothing to do with nothing

Lmaooo hes such a kid. The laugh is wholesome 😂

Gronk is Legend

As a Lions fan, this hurts my feelings. But is also understandable

What a lovely human. He's gotta be the greatest dude to hang out with and wreck a couple cold ones. His giggle.

Gronk keeping it a buck 50! Saying what most players think but never have the balls to say . Waiting for drafted players to decline the lions phone call at the draft 💀

Gronks laugh is the funniest thing ever 🤣

His laugh is infectious 😂😂😂😂

Lmao his laugh is so genuine

I bet Gronk's laugh still rings in Belichick's head to this day

Gronk laughs like the guy who plays Tom Hulce in Amadeus.

Rob gronkowski is the Pinnacle of frat boy

Gronk is the ultimate Bro!

Gronk is a stud.

He would be fun to throw back a couple beers with that cackle.

Lol 😂 Gronk crazy AF

Rip Barry ... We didn't deserve you

Strahan slapping the desk seals it.

Dude was always smart asl. He just played the joker/party animal persona. He was also really smart with his money too

Gronk needs to do more tv he's fucking hilarious

Bros the next Joker 💀 (Fr tho, Gronkowski is my most favorite player of all time, and hope he’s good during retirement.💪)

Respect the honesty 🤣

Bill pushed the greatest qb out the door by stripping him of all his weapons… so annoying

He is a very unique individual

Years ago guy named a DT named Tony Casillas got so tired of playing on bad Falcons teams and retired. When his rights got traded to Dallas he unretired and played a number of years for them. Calvin Ridley is doing pretty much the same thing right now to the Falcons
