Listening to Mike n Mike this morning, they were talking about a reporter who was told by several players that they feel Gronk gets away with a lot of stuff that guys like Cam would be crucified for.. like the parties, the wrasslin...

What say you guys

This is beating a dead horse...I personally love Gronk and goes with out saying Cam is that dude but at this point it is what it is with the media. I've embraced the fact that Cam is who he is and the media can say or do whatever they want but it doesn't affect him as much as it does us as fans. Cam says it best in all his social media pics "#shinethrushade"

There are other high profile NFL that run around like wild animals as well.  Gronk is very charming and affable.  He's like the nice frat guy who moved into your family neighborhood.  And that's just who he is, he embraces it and shows a real joy in life in his moment.

Cam has always been polarizing because he's a mega star, dresses like...well like he does, and he wears his emotions on his sleeve.  

I think the main difference is that Gronk plays the media's game better, and Cam doesn't like to play it.

Completely agree. I've felt like this for a long time now. I didn't want too seem like a whine bag if I posted a ten page rant about it so I never said anything. Imagine if Cam grinded on a femal reporter like Gronk did two years ago.

one more thing: remember when travis Kelce and Michale Bennett went off to reporters after play off losses. They cursed at reporters and blamed losses on the refs etc. all cam did was leave early from a press conference. Who do you think got the most heat?

Gronk is a big dumb white guy that is the life of the party. He does something stupid many will just scoff it aside as boys being boys.

Black QB's that don't conform to the stereotypical Russell Wilson type of nonthreatening black guy that makes white people feel more comfortable to be around will always be under the microscope. Not much has changed in the NFL in that regard, it's just more behind the scenes.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
