## Resource

Rob Gronkowski joins Chad Ochocinco Johnson and Raheem Taylor-Parkes on The Late Run for a MASSIVE crossover episode. Gronk tells the story of meeting Messi in Barcelona's owner's suite, playing goalie against Barca players, and explains why Tom Brady IS the Messi of football. He also drops a scorching take: the NFL RUINED American soccer by stealing the country's best athletes — and ranks European pub culture ABOVE NFL tailgating. Plus: Gronk settles the Messi vs Ronaldo debate, Chad's McDonald's diet gets the "Play On" stamp, and the episode ends with an iconic Gronk spike. Learn more about your ad choices.
