If you thought you were safe watching “Sunday Night Football” over last night’s “Shark Tank” special, you’re sorely mistaken.
Not because it was the first episode featuring Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez as the newest shark, but because the Gronkowskis pitched a product and chaos ensued.

They pitched some product that keeps ice cooler longer, and got a cool $150k investment from A-Rod and the Cubes.
But that’s not what we’re here to talk about today. We’re here to mock the sharks for their subpar flip cup performance.
I’m not sure who okayed the sharks playing the Gronkowskis at flip cup because it was pretty much a guaranteed loss.

They gave their best effort but really just embarrassed the Shark Tank name. I don’t care how rich you are, you never challenge the Gronk brothers at something they were born to do.
Especially when your party street cred is near zero to start off with. I don’t think Barbara has ever touched a solo cup before. And A-Rod? Yeah he may be a baseball legend and all, but we will never forget this 2015 photo:

Dude, if you ever find yourself asking your 1 million followers if the “cigar is too much? :-)” …you’re doing it wrong.
