Rob Gronkowski Joked with Jimmy Kimmel That He Hasn't Read a Book Since the Ninth Grade
By Mike Cardillo
Rob Gronkowski’s victory lap after winning the Super Bowl on Sunday included a stop on Jimmy Kimmel Live Monday night. Naturally the topic of Gronk-themed erotica came up, just like it did on Media Day last week. Kimmel asked the Patriots tight end if he would read a little bit more from “A Gronking to Remember.”
Gronkowski obliged but noted, “I haven’t read a book since ninth grade when they made me. You know when you don’t raise your hand, but they call on you.”
And what was the name of that book?
“A Mocking to Remember? Or whatever? Mockingbird to Remember?”
Kimmel quickly dropped in a joke about a University of Arizona education, to which Gronkowski replied, “No. 1 party school in the nation, at least we’re No. 1 at something.”
The whole clip is funny. Gronk is funny. Let’s hope he keeps up the media blitz … until the inevitable Gronk-backlash begins, if it hasn’t already given how the Internet works. Sigh.
