Gronkowski Issues Pickleball Challenge To Eli Manning
Gronkowski Issues Pickleball Challenge To Eli Manning. No, it’s not Cornhole. No, it’s not Curling, or Horseshoes. This is BIG, real big! Of all the showdown sports elite athletes would choose, Pickleball might not make the list, till now. Gronk has challenged Eli manning to Pickleball to the death! LOL. Not really. Actually just a fun match for charity. Eli has beaten Gronk before but now it’s time Gronk took home a W, so instead of a drinking game, or cornhole, of Frisbee golf, he’s taking him to court. The Pickleball court.

Since retiring for the second time, Gronk has been trading his cleats in for a racquet. When he talked during an interview, someone brought up the former Giants Quarterback, who also played Pickleball, and Gronk raised an eyebrow. He said, “I would whoop Eli, no chance.” Gronk made the pickleball challenge a little more personal, too, Gronk is a supporter of the national campaign No Kid Hungry. He said he would love to take on Eli in a game where the proceeds go to charity. “There’s a craze going on,” Gronkowski said. “When I retired, I was playing tennis, I was playing paddle(ball) and then I picked up pickle(ball) and then it’s all in.”
