Gronk Impressed By Himself, Bucs Atmosphere
June 1st, 2021
Joe loves the energy in Rob Gronkowski’s voice when he glows about how incredibly different life is at One Buc Palace versus at Two Belicheat Place.
He’s said it before, but this time Gronk was talking after the full Tampa Bay Super Bowl experience and victory.
During an interview at Providence College Athletics, Gronk emphasized twice that life with the Bucs is “a total 180” in how things are run versus in New England. And he loves it and can’t wait for this season.
Interestingly, he also said the Patriots are “one of the best organizations in the world.” So perhaps that just proves there’s more than one way to greatness.
Or it proves that Tom Brady is the ultimate culture-changer.
Gronk also shared that he is in awe that he is the second-leading receiver in NFL postseason history behind Jerry Rice, and that his five Super Bowl touchdown receptions are second only to Rice (7).
Joe didn’t think Gronk was big on personal stats, but he seemed very sincere when he talked about wanting to break those records.
What a great time to be alive as a Bucs fan.

..boys, after TB12, the biggest positive change last year was Gronk. This guy is locker room’s energy booster. Eager for the season start…

………………
My dad bought season tix in 1975.
We sat second row 35 yardline behind the Bucs’ bench for 20 years before he sold the tickets.
He sold them in ’96 when we hired Dungy.
Said he was tired of paying for losing. I don’t blame him but I also have never let him live it down on Sundays where he cant watch the game because of the 75 mile blackout.

Of course he has to give credit
But the atmosphere sounded not so player oriented. No input from players
He is not go to tick off new england and lose his fan base there
Plus he will likely retire a patriot
But i am going out on a limb that he prefers leadership/atmosphere here

My mom lived in Tampa during the Gruden SB and it was fun to see her excited. I live in California but we have a small condo in the Tampa area and it is great to see the excitement.
I am a Michigan guy and have been a Brady backer for years…so ..Tampa it is…I was down there in the summer of 2020 and then again last week. What a difference when you see all the BUCS flags, gear and stuff in the bars.

Gronk ROSKS ! The “energy” that he & Brady instilled into our whole Teams “mindset” in a very short period of time is simply freaking amazing . Being a diehard fan since their inception into the NFL I’ve never seen such a “We WILL Win” attitude in all of these years . Not even after our 1st SB win was that attitude prevalent because we lost key players and Coaches . Not this time though , they (and we) ALL want to “Ride that Train” at least one more time ! As soon as I got off of that “ride” in January I got right back in the long line for another ride .

Hello rriddler…..Yeah #37 was a Blast TOO. And that was 27 years in the making lol
The point is the age of the franchise.
And also this being the best TEAM they have ever had IMO.
The #37 winners began to go down the next season very quickly to 7-9 and the infighting (see Gruden-Keyshawn)
That will not be happening with this current roster.
Barring injury this next season they will win more games then they ever have. They have never won 16 games or more in a complete season ( reg & Post season), well that is about to change this season.
So rriddler may you enjoy the ride, because I sure am.
BTW I just checked and I have to correct my “45 years in the making” statement, because…..
“April 24, 1974 Tampa Bay was awarded the league’s 27th franchise”
So actually it is 47+ year in the making kind of ride.
All are welcome to jump on the Tampa Bay Buccaneer Steam roller for a wild ride in 2021 and Jan /Feb 2022 you will be glad you did!!
See you at the podium for another Lombardi Hoisting, for the BUCS!
GO WORLD CHAMPION BUCS!!!!!

Damn, I didn’t realize that Gronk was so close to Rice. Impressive.
