Rob Gronkowski and Travis Kelce are unquestionably two of the top tight ends in NFL history. Gronkowski contributed mightily to the Patriots dynasty in the 2010s, and Kelce has done the same for the Super Bowl-champion Chiefs in recent seasons.
So it’s a natural NFL debate topic to ask which one is the better tight end. The Ringer’s Ryen Russillo recently posed the question to Gronkowski himself, and the answer was nuanced and revealing.
“It’s an argument that I don’t want to make the final decision on,” Gronkowski said on The Ryen Russillo Podcast.

Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. The only upside of it raining every Saturday in the New York area is that I have nothing better to do than watch college football.
In today’s SI:AM:
Penn State’s golden opportunity
Greg Norman breaks his silence
A wild idea for the Patriots
Biggest game of the season thus far

Here’s everything we know.
The Michigan Wolverines are back in hot water less than two months after head coach Jim Harbaugh accepted a three-game penalty from the university for violating the NCAA protocols during the COVID-19 dead period. Now the No. 2 ranked Wolverines are the center of a sign-stealing investigation which allegedly began in 2021, according to a report Thursday from Yahoo Sports.
Sean O’Malley continues to prove he’s gold for the UFC.
O’Malley is currently the bantamweight champion after defeating Aljamain Sterling back in August, and that’s great for the UFC.
Dana White needs Sean O’Malley front and center and winning because the man moves the needle in a way very few athletes do.
That includes hitting a bong while filming a hype video.

It’s no secret that Tom Brady and Peyton Manning have become good friends in retirement, and the two share plenty of banter, both in the limelight and away from it.
To wit, Manning questioned how Brady travels to get to his yacht in the Bahamas on Thursday’s episode of The Pat McAfee Show.
“Does he fly Delta to get to the yacht?” Manning asked. “Is there a direct Delta flight into the Bahamas to get on the yacht? I was on a Delta flight the other night. I flew back from Hawaii, and my plane got canceled. I was in 36F.
Formula One returns to America this weekend, ready for its second of three races this year. Although the U.S. is the only country currently on the calendar that has the privilege of hosting three events in a single season, it’s not the first time this has happened. The huge influx of fans (thanks to docuseries like Netflix’s Drive to Survive) has rapidly increased the interest of racing in the States, but F1 has always had a love affair with America.
Austin is this weekend’s base for the F1.
It’s just about that time of year again, when youth is seen as boundless potential rather than woeful inexperience. This is a point in time where substantial injuries have yet to take place, so just about every fan base can wonder: What if this is the year our guys stay healthy? The start of the season allows for a glass-half-full outlook, where even cynics can picture the bright side as opposed to obsessing over their team’s worst flaws.
