Rob Gronkowski Wondered If President Obama Was "Wasted" After He Made #DeflateGate Joke

When the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots visited the White House yesterday, relations between President Obama and Rob Gronkowski reached a critical breaking point. Not really, but President Obama's dry #DeflateGate jokes, while earnestly and politely laughed off by the team, prompted Gronkowski to get a little too casual in his response to the president's barbs.

...Gronkowski met separately with the media, and was predictably asked if he had any adult beverages at the White House. Because, like, who wouldn't want to know how many bottles of White House Honey Ale were slurped down and spiked into a million pieces? His response, however, was off-the-cuff and understandably Gronk. 

"No, there's no drinking. Maybe the President was getting wasted," Gronkowski joked.

Takeaway: Gronk's gonna Gronk, even at the White House. No event is fully secure from his antics.
