Rob Gronkowski is not exactly one to take the moral when it comes to dating women, as the future Hall of Fame tight end was known as quite the party-boy back in his playing days for the New England Patriots.

However, after the seemingly unending news cycle concerning his former coach, Bill Belichick, and Belichick's new paramour, Jordon Hudson, even Gronk felt comfortable to chip in.

Speaking to radio hosts Fred Toucher and Rob Hardy of the "Toucher and Hardy" on 985 The Sports Hub, Gronkowski revealed his thoughts on the latest updates in the Belichick/Hudson saga, after reports that Hudson had been barred from the UNC football practice facility, something that UNC subsequently denied.

After being asked whether the 4 x All-Pro found the situation funny, Gronkowski replied, "It is, you know. And back of your head too you're just thinking to yourself as well: when you were on the Patriots, the whole goal was to eliminate all the distractions that can possibly happen while you are on the team."

"And don't bring those distractions to the team and in the locker room. And we're just looking down at the program in North Carolina and it feels like there are just distractions 24-7 down there; there is no football talk as well."

The 4 x Super Bowl champion also noted that he was looking forward to football season and watching how the team played when they get on the field for real in August.

As for Belichick, if you are getting clowned by Gronkowski - even jokingly, things are probably not looking good.
