Gronkowski

It seems like everyday Gronk is in the news and in the offseason that usually isn't a good thing. Pat's fans are again wondering if the TE will be healthy for the start of next season. But the injury concerns surrounding his forearm remain serious. According to the Boston Herald, he'll have a fourth surgery to "change the plate that’s securing the broken bone in the forearm.d And then if he can heal without any setbacks ie infections he most likely will be ready for the season opener. With welker gone the pat's are going to lean on him that much more. Hernandez has been surprisingly good throughout all of Gronkowski's injuries considering he was thought to compliment him.
  The media has been tough on gronk from posting pic's of him dancing shirtless bartop hours after a tough super bowl loss, to even reporting that he and his brother were wrestling weeks after his second surgery. They have even try to get headlines by releasing photos of rob with infamous porn stars.
   What we have all been guilty of at one time or another is the fact that he's only 24 years old. And with all the attention that was focused on him and a multimillion dollar contract he earned mixed with his gronk sized personality I think he has handled himself appropriately. These athletes are people just like the rest of us and unlike movie stars they lack the training that is needed to balance life, success, and the media scrutiny that comes with it.
   The Patriots have accepted him for the person he is off the field in order to get the player he is on the field. And coach Belichick has seemed to tame the big TE enough to avoid the circus atmosphere the media tends to create. Visit
    As fans we are attracted to the off the field antics and on the field spikes he has made famous. We were his shirts eat his cereal and are almost always gronking around on sunday I just hope Rob will be too.
