Summer of Gronk II

As we all already know, the Summer of Gronk started a bit too early this year and the monster tight end has already found himself in a heap of criticism.  Video of him dancing and wrestling with a few of his meathead buddies has caused Sports Radio shows, Pats fans, and ESPN to debate whether or not Gronk needs to grow up.  The answer is simple. No. Gronk doesn't need to grow up at all.  He's perfect as is.  Look, there's nothing wrong with going out and partying when you're a 23 year old NFL superstar.  Yeah, he has a broken arm.  But has a broken arm ever caused anyone from going out and doing things?  It's not an ACL injury where you shouldn't put pressure on your knees.  It's not a back injury where you shouldn't be doing much of anything.  This is just a case of Pats fans being uncomfortable with a player who doesn't quite fit that uptight "Patriot Way" mold.  But that's not a bad thing.  Bottomline is Gronk is going to be dancing, wrestling, and fornicating all summer long.  He's still gonna catch a ton of TD passes and will be right up there with Jimmy Graham as the best tight end in football.  Leave Gronk alone and let the guy have a little fun.
