Football: Gronky, Watchoo Doin'?

[Catseye3]

This is kinda where I'm starting to get to. Especially seeing him in the baseball workout with Brady recently.

From Fansided: "It would be one thing if Gronk wasn’t seemingly leading the Bucs on, but the cryptic Tweets, the Tom Brady workouts, and other actions that are obviously meant to create a media firestorm make it more annoying than anything.

"Being unsure is fine, but that makes it seem like a decision is already there in the first place, and that is fine. The Bucs just need to know so they can move forward.

"We get that there is an added element of freedom given to guys of Gronk’s status, but that doesn’t mean that the next two months need to be based around having to analyze every Tweet to wonder if Gronkowski is going to sweep in at the last second to save the team.

"Hot or cold. In or out. We don’t care what the decision is, but we need one soon if the game is about toying with the team and fans."

He's too old to be playing those games. A tight end takes a lot more beating than a QB.

Yeah. I was a bit concerned that Gronk was having CTE issues or even that his body has taken enough punishment, but that's hard to believe after seeing this:

(It's very short.)

Injuries from my teens and 20s went away for 40 years. They are coming back now.

I can't believe I'm suggesting this to you; try not to laugh. Have you considered yoga?

Yes, of course, I'm retired. I consider just about everything.

I start with a book. The latest were violin and tap dance, neither has gone past the book stage.

@Copper There are many good yoga videos that you could try -- you know, while you're playing the violin. They'd be a little slow for tap dancing, but maybe you could try a little Gregory Hines action.

Then he’d REALLY be hurting.

This is me piggybacking on this thread with a Brady anecdote, which I know y'all have been missing bad.

Tristan Wirfs, a Buc, expressed sorrow that after two years with the Bucs he still didn't have Brady's phone number. Brady got wind of this and and left the following message on Wirfs' phone: "Hi, this is Tom Brady. We've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty."

[Mik]

OK, that's funny.
