Rob Gronkowski brushed off any questions about the Deflategate and had the perfect Gronk reaction.

So much for the NFL offseason, right?

With the NFL Draft over and training camps still two months away it should be the quiet time for the league that is trying to dominate the calendar, but there was no slow news day today as the Ted Wells report came out on Wednesday afternoon implicating Tom Brady and the Patriots that is was “more than probable than not” that the Patriots violated rules with deflated footballs.

This dates back to the AFC Championship Game won by the Patriots over the Indianapolis Colts and they went on to win the Super Bowl, but now a myriad of questions have arisen as a result of Wells’ investigation.

Did Brady act alone?

Did Bill Belichick know about this?

How long has Brady altered the PSI in the footballs?

Should Brady be suspended?

Should Brady’s legacy be tainted?

Should he be kept out of the Hall of Fame like Barry Bonds or Roger Clemens in MLB who used performance-enhancing drugs?

How much of an effect does an under inflated football have on the gameplay?

That’s just a short list of questions that are being asked today and will continue being asked so when reporters tried to ask some of these questions to Brady’s No. 1 target, Rob Gronkowski, the Patriots All-Pro tight end deflected the questions as only “Gronk” could.

Instead of saying he wasn’t going to answer any questions related to the investigation, Gronk simply flexed his muscles.

Of course, this is how Gronkowski would respond. Would you expect anything less from him?

If you’ve followed his career for even one minute you would know that he’s not about to put his foot in his mouth and answer those questions and he’s going to flex for the camera and flash a goofy smile because that’s who he is.

Ask him about the Seattle Seahawks defensive scheme and he’s just as likely to give you the same reaction. Love him or hate him, he’s who he is and he’s being consistent.
