Rob Gronkowski is a human-wrecking ball of a tight end in the National Football League and a raging, dancing, party animal out of it. But the kid has some gears grinding in that head of his.
When hit with a blatant Deflategate-referenced question during a recent appearance on Celebrity Family Feud, Gronk knew just how to handle it. When the show's host and longtime comedian, Steve Harvey, asked, "Name something that can be inflated or deflated," the New England Patriots star took a second to think about his answer.
Rather instantly, Gronk realized the question was in clear reference to the Patriots' Deflategate scandal and said, "I don't even want this one," receiving a big red 'X' for his team, all while being ultraproud of himself to have not fallen for the bait.
Harvey even told him: "That's a smart answer!"
Gronk sort of handled that question like he manhandles opposing linebackers, safeties and cornerbacks — disposing of them at will.
All jokes aside, it's amazing that Gronk even had to field a Deflategate question on Celebrity Family Feud.
We get that it's only been a month since the NFL punished the Super Bowl champions for their role in Deflategate, suspending quarterback Tom Brady for four games, fining the organization $1 million and making it forfeit its 2016 first-round draft pick and 2017 fourth-round draft selection.
But still ... how long will Deflategate haunt the Patriots? At least Gronkowski has a strategy any time Deflategate is mentioned ... deflect and dance away. Foolproof strategy there, Gronk!
