Gronkenstein

Ballard's taken off weight since he last played. Wants to be quicker or something.
And yea, I found other pictures that better showed how much bigger he used to be, but they didn't have Kate Upton in them.

My oldest son loves Kate Upton!

Then I would agree that they served no useful purpose.

Ballard is listed at 6' 6" 260. 

Same height, five pound difference.  Hmmm.
 

Gronk The Spike is 24, and Jake The Snake is 25.

Well, going by the picture you posted one of those numbers is a lie. The article I read said Ballard is down to 260 from the 280 he weighed in the greatest Super Bowl ever played. It also said he might get cut so he has that going for him.


"Greatest Superbowl ever played"?  How can it be the "greatest Superbowl ever played" when you had the outright anomaly of a 10-6 team getting into it that did not even win its division that year.  They (I can't say their name) finished a full three games behind Amercia's Team in their division.  Come on.  How far could they get?  Think of the long shot for a second.  An NFC wildcard team and #5 seed winning the whole thing by limiting The Greatest Offense in History to less than half of its usual production?  Please.  I would have a better chance of beating Tiger Woods on the links.  Take it from me.  It didn't really happen.  It was some kooky Hollywood fiction writer's idea of what would create drama.  Imaginative, sure.  But totally unrealistic.

Clearly. I find it impossible to judge someones size without a supermodel in the picture.



Agree.  Speaking of supermodels, Forbes just came out with their list of highest earning supermodels for last year.  Gisele came out Number One again (7 years in a row) at $42 Million.  The article went on to say that she beat out her husband who only made $38.3 million. 

But I think that's really unfair to Tom, don't you? 

Supermodels have no salary cap.

Less than she made last year tough. She's trending downward.

If you're trending downward, but you're number one, do you know what that means? 

It means you're still Number One. 



If you ask me, TB made a bad choice.

Maybe.  But why?  You think he should have chosen someone with somewhat less earning potential so that he would not feel second rate when they sit around the kitchen table and compare W-2s?

 It's just that supermodels have such short lifespans. Even if they're frugal, which they don't seem to be, and are sitting on a pile of money when they both age out of their jobs, you're looking at 40 years of hanging around the mansion with this;

Tara Reid, on the other hand, would be away from home 9 months a year making B movies til she's 70 or ODs, whichever came first.



Gotcha.  (Where the hell do you get those pictures anyway?  lol) 

However, on the other end of the spectrum, some lucky dude ended up with former supermodel Kathy Ireland, a gal who has got it going on in all areas of life, and ages like a fine wine.  Probably my all time favorite.

I subscribe to Forbes and that was a great story. The woman has very quietly made herself almost Oprah rich.
Speaking of crappy movies, Kathy Ireland was in one where she played a college football kicker. I can't remember what it was called but it may have been the stupidest movie ever made, and very entertaining.

Probably a good idea.  Isn't it curious how a thread that starts out on the subject of Rob Gronkowski's size, ends up being a competition of supermodels who either retain or don't retain their supermodelness over time?  Funny how that happens. 

But even football "rivals" such as ourselves end up finding common ground in agreeing that a picture without a supermodel in it is a picture whose useful purpose is severly limited.

Going off course happens.  Its the new course that they go on to is the thing opens eyes.  lol.

Or Hammer.

If there's no supermodel or MC Hammer a picture is barely worth looking at.

Is that Andrew's girl?

Since you brought the music world into the discussion with Hammer, I'll offer this one of Jon Bon Jovi. 

Probably one of Sheila's favorite rockers I'll wager.
