To be honest, I always pegged Logan Mankins as the current Patriot most likely to try his hand at porn. In the industry, I assumed, he'd be known only as Mutton Chops, and would create and star in a mustache ride franchise that would revolutionize pornography as we know it.
But if I had to pick a second Patriot to someday dabble in the erotic arts, I guess it would have been Rob Gronkowski. At the very least, I figured it was only a matter of time before an amateur video surfaced on the Internet and led to Gronk's partner landing a reality show and her own fragrance line. You know, the American dream.
Anyway, I'm sure you've heard the news by now, but apparently there's a website that's very interested in expediting Gronk's path to Pornvilleand there's absolutely nothing amateur about their offer.
That's right. The New York Post reports that Sex.com has offered to match Gronk's 2014 base salary3.75M!!if he'll film a legitimate porn with former lady friend Bibi Jones.
As you might imagine, the GronkPornTitles hashtag is already up and running and there are definitely a few good ones. Early favorites include "The Patriot Lay" (@PatriotsXLVIII), "Show Me Your TDs" (@DeannaMarieRVA) and "Two Girls, One Gronk" (@rengo20).
That last one is contingent on finding another actressand I know this is out of left fieldbut what do you guys think about Betty White?
Maybe Dame Judi Dench?
New England Patriots
I don't know. I'm not sure what kind of budget Sex.com is working on and certainly don't know what Dame andor Betty would charge for that sort of thing. But one thing I do know is that Sex.com sees some real porn potential in Rob Gronkowski.
According to the site's press release, Gronk has the attitude to be a hugely popular male adult star.
And you know what? I agree. I say Gronk should give it a whirl. For 3.75M? Why not.
As long as he makes sure that there's plenty of padding on and around that forearm.
Otherwise, some folks around Boston will be pretty steamed.
