Re: Official "GRONKED!" thread
Some more on the Gronkowski legend, this from a Buffalo newspaper:
Gronkowskis have quite a weekend - Bucky Gleason - The Buffalo News
Quote:
About one in 40 college football players reaches the NFL, but Gordie and Diane Gronkowski watched three of their five sons land spots on 53-man rosters in one afternoon Saturday. Rob made the Patriots as a rookie tight end. Chris earned a spot with the Cowboys as a rookie free-agent fullback. Dan, also a tight end, was traded to the Broncos after a strong camp with the Lions.
"Life is about treating people the right way, having the right character and all that," Gordie said. "We talk about it all the time. I've told all of them, 'You guys are gifted in different ways. Don't ever forget where you came from and don't think you're above anybody. You get on the field, think that all day. But when you're off the field, we all [go to the bathroom] in the same pot.'"

The story focuses on the rest of the Gronkowski family rather than the Pats' tight end, but it is still a pretty good read. |
