    calls for a fineGronk's injury

    It was a bittersweet victory for the New England Patriots on Sunday. While most households were beginning to prepare dinner late in the game as a result of a projected loss to the Cleveland Browns, the Pats staged a comeback to beat the Browns 27-26. They were behind with 1:05 left in the game after score. Every football fan east of the Mississippi knew there would be an onside kick and they were right. The Pats kickoff team executed the onside kick perfectly and recovered the ball then went on to score. It was another historic victory by the Patriots.

    After a Gronk reception earlier in the game, a Browns defender disguised a tackle and aimed for his knee. The diagnosis is torn anterior and medial cruciate ligaments. Rehabilitation is estimated to be eight to 12 months.

    Gronk is a tight end who play's like a wide receiver. He in an integral part of quarterback Tom Brady's passing attack. He also plays hard with no reservations about contact or what happens after a reception. With the "all out," wreckless approach to his play comes a caution sign. After his season-ending elbow injury last season and his mid-season return this year, I think many Pats fan squirmed every time he caught the ball. He was double covered by defenders all season. The perceived, eventual injury was going to happen, it was just a matter of time.

    The Browns defender should be fined. He aimed for the knee and accomplished his goal of removing Brady's favorite target from the game. His fine will not be enough. He ended the season for one of the top receivers in the NFL and Gronk's career may be over.

    It's sad that the punishment will not equal the crime.

    I believe the technical term here is 'butthurt.' They've already played another game since that one, and this whiny bitch is going on about an injury the week before, demanding a fine. I wonder if it's because his team lost this week?

    I bet the mindset is "we lost because the browns hurt gronkowski."

    Injuries are part of the game. These guys make millions to play a game where injuries are a risk. They should understand that .

    Gronkowski had 2 catches for 32 yards in almost 3 quarters of play. Not exactly lighting up the Browns defense. The Patriots started moving the ball after he got hurt. Plus the dolphins played the Pats close the first time so not surprising at all to see them win last Sunday.
