New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski was on a tour to promote his "It's Good to be Gronk" book last week, and there were plenty of highlights along the way.

One of my personal favorites? Gronkowski appearing on a "Town Hall" program hosted by Maria Menounos on Sirius XM's Mad Dog Sports Radio, and acknowledging that he hasn't read the book in its entirety.

"About like 80 percent of it," Gronkowski said with a smile. "I'm not going to lie about it. That's what the book is -- it's all truthful in there. It's no sugarcoating or anything. It doesn't make my image look good, it's no false image in there. I ain't going to lie either, I only read like 80 percent of it, but I know what better parts were and everything; what it's all about. It was a quick deadline. I couldn't get to it all."

One other nugget from Gronkowski's "Town Hall" appearance: When asked if it bothers him that Deflategate has diminished what the team accomplished in the eyes of some, he smiled and said, "Next question."

He then added, "It's just so ridiculous how long it's been dragging out. It's the most annoying thing ever, because wherever I go, no matter what, someone is bringing it up. If it's a fan, wherever you are -- on a plane, somebody is bringing it up. It might be the most annoying process I've ever seen. I don't even know what's going on with it, but it's just annoying and I can't wait for it to be over; Roger [Goodell] needs to wipe it out and put it in the past, that's what I just feel like."
