Patriots TE Gronkowski Talks Figure Skating

In advance of Sunday's Super Bowl XLIX, a potential game MVP talks about what's really important here: Figure Skating.

Yes, that's right, New England Patriots tight end Rob "Gronk" Gronkowski has a vested interest in the winter sport. Last year he made a video with a local sports blogger spoofing the Olympics, in which he acted as commentator for a fake figure skating competition. It's crude, shoddily done and completely lam-O, but I guess I'll award him points for trying? Anytime a superstar athlete can reference figure skating on social media is a win, I guess.

Anyway, in his last media avail before the big game on Sunday, the sports blogger caught up with Gronk and asked him if he'd be willing to do more figure skating commentary.

His response:

"Maybe I'll be the figure skater next year, we'll see what we got."
