GQ, aka the closest thing we have to a modern day bible, launched an explosive investigation into New England Patriots tight end Robert "Gronk" Paxton Gronkowski's obsession with the number 69.
Exhibit A is an old interview uploaded to YouTube in 2015 titled Gronk Can Barely Contain Himself When Reporter Says '69' Twice In One Interview:
Gronk also allegedly confessed to the media that he would pay $69,000 to wear jersey #69 for a game!

GQ's final suggestion to Gronk is that he should retire. Afterall, before the Patriots kick off the 2017 NFL season his career stat line reads: "69 total touchdowns, a 69.3 receiving yards per game average, and 6097 total yards from scrimmage."
