Gronk is Confused About the Concept of a Time Machine

(Source) - Football steakhead Rob Gronkowski is back! Well, he's been playing for a few games now, but we know he's really back because of the astounding answer he gave after being asked for his ideal superpower. Basically, the Patriots' tight end doesn't understand how time works.

Gronk's unfamiliarity with time machines came up while he was doing an interview with Scott Zolak of 98.5 The Sports Hub. The audio's at the bottom of this page, if you'd like to listen—and you should—but here's a transcription:

Zolak: If you could have a superpower, what would that one superpower be?

Gronk: Man, like, a time machine.

Zolak: You could be invisible...

Gronk: Does time machine count?

Zolak: Yeah, let's do it. We could build a time machine right here.

Gronk: Like, if I could just be like, "I want to be in Florida right now," and then boom, I'm in Florida.

Zolak: That'd be more like a transporter, like...

Gronk: Yeah, is that a superpower?

I listened to the full audio on this and at first when Gronk said he wanted a time machine it kind of threw me for a loop at first.  Like why would Gronk ever want a time machine?  To study history or some nerd shit like that?  Fuck no.  Maybe to head back to the 50s and pound out Marilyn Monroe or something, maybe his college days to chase some skirt he felt like he missed out on (doubt he missed anything)?  Nope, turns out he just has absolutely zero understanding of the concept of a time machine and thinks traveling back in time and taking a trip to bang sluts back in Florida to are the same thing.  Time travel, teleportation.  Now we're just splitting hairs.
