Rob Gronkowski told Peyton and Eli Manning on their Monday Night Football MegaCast program that he doesn't watch film.
But speaking with reporters Wednesday, Gronk clarified that he was just joking.
"I actually watch tons of film. An overload of film," he said. "I will probably blame [PR director] Nelson [Luis] over there. He asked me eight times to go on the show. I told him, 'It's not a good idea.' They always get me in that type of silly atmosphere and that's what happened. Now coach [Bruce Arians] threatened me. I don't get my vet day anymore.
