With Shaq’s fun house and Gronk’s beach, Super Bowl LVIII would be like no other. The 2024 NFL finale would hardly be just a game anymore, it is set to be a lifestyle extravaganza, with star-studded activities leading the way. And for the beach people, Rob Gronkowski is leading the way with his enthusiasm through his Gronk beach, set with his favorite artists and beverages. Think music festival meets island getaway, all paired with Gronk’s party animal spirit.

To get things started, Gronk signed up for an advertisement with FanDuel. ‘The Kick of Destiny 2’ is Gronk’s redemption field goal journey to Las Vegas. The only thing hindering his path: John Cena, who does not have a single ounce of confidence in Gronk’s kick. If Gronk is successful, his years-old approval from Stephanie McMahon would come in handy, as opposite to him is none other than the WWE legend.
