TB12 and Gronk to the Bucs is the Modern Day Boston Tea Party

I’d be a liar if I said I haven’t dove headfirst into a few conspiracy theories during this quarantine, but Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski taking their talents to Tampa Bay has got to be my favorite so far.

It’s no secret that playing for the Patriots is sort of ironic considering it’s the team where you’ll be allowed the least amount of freedom. It sounds like serving in a private military branch as far as the rules and regulations under Supreme Leader Bill Belichick.

Tom and Gronk had to have been planning this escape like the real life Boston Tea Party. They were tired of being over taxed for their services and finally said “Fuck it, lets just start our own militia down in sunshiny Florida.”

The question is how long has this plan been in motion? Did Tom go to Florida because he knew it would be that much easier to lure in his Tight End with party beads and pina coladas? Did Gronk know this was the plan before his retirement?

What about the interview where Gronk was almost in tears talking about how much pain he was in from the wear and tear of the NFL? Was he referring more to the mental abuse of his NFL father, Coach Belichick, never letting him be himself? Or was he simply harnessing his acting abilities for his one year stint in the WWE?

We can only hope that more details unfold on this escape plan by two of the greatest men to ever lace ‘em up, but one thing is for certain: The Boston Tea Party has taken their militia to Tampa and are declaring war on the entire league in a giant pirate ship.

#TheLastDance Actually Just Documentary About Jerry Krause’s Napoleon Complex

When watching ESPN’s documentary The Last Dance it was brought up that they had a full camera crew follow the ‘97-‘98 Bulls for the entire season. Thus bringing up the question “Why wait 23 years to finally bring out this all-time footage?”

As it turns out the answer is: They had to wait until after the death of Jerry Krause, so he never had to live a day in the social media era as America’s most hated person. In a pandemic month where Carole Baskins seemed to be the clear front runner, ESPN says “Hold my beer,” and drops the greatest 90’s Bulls coverage in history.

The documentary even does the justice to Krause of showing clips of numerous people within the organization of saying he was “a good guy.” Before proceeding to show videos of Michael Jordan and Scotty Pippen shit on him throughout the two part opening Sunday.

I personally like the first two episodes of the documentary for showing the true Napoleon complex that led to Phil Jackson’s departure, and eventually the demise of the Bulls. It does a great job of portraying Scottie Pippen in a hero role, while also showing clips of Jordan’s savage competitive nature. The Call of Duty menu music used throughout is also a nice touch for the dramatic.

Excited to see the next episode highlighting Dennis Rodman’s time in Chicago after a solid quarantine week of Jerry Krause memes.
