Gronk is Probably Done for the Season, Yikes

Toughhhhhhh news coming outta Foxborough last night. Tough with a capital T tough. After the hit he took in the Seattle game, Gronk punctured a lung and messed up his back. Took a week off then tried to come back last week but ultimately had to hit the showers early cause of pain in his back and leg. Not totally sure how a punctured lung connects to your leg, but I'll ask Dr. Andy and we'll get to the bottom of it on next weeks Science Lesson with Andy.

Huge loss for the Pats. HUGE. I'ma go as far as to say catastrophic. Gronk is the best tight end of all time. I don't care what you say, Rob Gronkowski will go down as the greatest Tight End to ever play the game, UNLESS he doesn't stay healthy, which is kinda becoming a common theme. Without Gronk this team is far worse than with him. I know what you're thinking, it's the Pats, next man up, do your job, yeah I know but all that mumbo jumbo is just talk unless you actually do it. Listen I know we have the weapons, and we have another stud TE in Marty Bennett, but Gronk is a once in a lifetime FREAK. He has size, speed, hands as soft as a baby's bottom, and most importantly, TB12's utmost trust. Gronk is a guy, nay, THE guy you want getting the ball on a 4th and goal situation with the game on the line. He's a beast and a playmaker and an underratedly good blocker. And above all, he's a glue guy and a leader. I've never been in that locker room but I can say with full confidence that Gronk is a guy everyone looks up to and respects, as well as keeps it light. That's the kinda guy I want on my team and on the field. If he does in fact miss the rest of the season, which he probably should cause again I'm no doctor but a punctured lung crosses into the life injury not football injury category, he is going to be severely missed. Do I think this ruins the Pats shot at the Super Bowl? Absolutely not. Do I think this makes the path a little more difficult, but also brings in some more Gronk cameos in Hollywood? Absolutely yes.

Also, never take for granted how awesome Gronk really is. He is the RARE athlete who is a stud on the field, but an absolute menace off the field, but never gets in trouble.
