Gronk confirms Aaron Hernandez would crank his hog during team meetings

Yeah man, I don’t even know how to ease into this one — but here it is: Aaron Hernandez used to crank his hog during team meetings in New England, and Rob Gronkowski pretty much confirmed it.

While on Bussin’ With the Boys, Gronk said he may or may not have witnessed it firsthand. In fact, he straight-up encouraged it.

Rob Gronkowski says that former #Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez would j**k off during team meetings:

"I may or may not have seen it live….I love crazy shit, though, so I didn't mind things like that. I was like, 'Wow, that was pretty epic.'…I encouraged it."

We all know Aaron Hernandez was a disturbed individual. Over the last decade, we’ve learned just how unhinged he truly was. And honestly, if social media had been what it is now back when he was playing, I can only imagine the kind of chaos we would’ve witnessed in real time.

I mean, lubing the gearshift during a team meeting? In a room full of grown men? I’m not one to kink shame, but that sounds like the kind of thing a shirtless crackhead would do under the L, screaming about government drones.

Firing off a mayo cannon in front of your teammates isn’t just inappropriate — it’s a power move. That’s primal dominance. Alpha behavior in its rawest form. And really, are we shocked Gronk supported it? Bill Belichick probably had a clipboard in one hand and a stopwatch in the other, encouraging proper form. That little freaky demon.

Maybe that’s what made Aaron Hernandez so dangerous on Sundays. Tapping the pork bongo brings out a different beast. It’s a natural reset button — a therapeutic tool for the emotionally unstable and the terminally horny. When Belichick’s grilling you in front of the squad for missing a block, there’s only one way to level the playing field: drop trou and initiate the launch sequence.

Hell yeah, brother. Sometimes you just gotta beat off the stress.
