Rob Gronkowski's Second Attempt At The "Kick Of Destiny" Fails Again

Rob Gronkowski tried to recreate the "Kick of Destiny" on Sunday prior to the Super Bowl, a promotion for the sports book FanDuel in which he attempts a one-time field goal. Last year's edition of the promotion did not go well, as Gronkowski aired it wide left. This year's version didn’t either, but in the opposite direction. Gronkowski missed the kick again, which sparked a flurry of reactions on social media.

The high-profile athlete, known for his impressive touchdowns and Super Bowl victories, was not able to replicate his football success in this promotional event. Instead, he kicked the ball far to the right and immediately recognized his failure, doubling over while holding his helmet in defeat. For someone who has achieved so much in the sport, it was surprising to see that his kicking skills did not measure up.

Reactions from fans were mixed, with many expressing their disappointment on social media. One user quipped, "All that hype for 2 seconds of this?" while another humorously commented that their success rate on dating apps was equal to Gronk's kicking skills. The humor surrounding the event highlighted how the missed kick was not just a sports moment but a relatable human experience filled with quirks and failures.

Additionally, Gronkowski's attempts were met with a wave of jokes about the Buffalo Bills, as the team has had its share of painful field goal misses. This connection resonated with fans, especially since Gronkowski hails from upstate New York. The promotion also featured actor Carl Weathers, known for his role in "Rocky," who tragically passed away shortly before the event, prompting FanDuel to make respectful edits to the promotional material.
