with the new hgh rules coming soon (probably) i don't think that would have been a good idea these days

I would rather he sulked like the rest of us...

"SULK???"

I didn't sulk.

And I can promise you that GRONK didn't sulk.

Gronk lacks the Sulking Gene.

And that is an integral part of his burgeoning Greatness.

Rodney Harrison will always have an home, here.

He earned that.

But he needs to shut his PIE Hole.

Gronk was just being a Warrior, Blowing Off Steam.

No more.

No less.

Who knows, Gronk probably had family and friends at the party, and went there for their sake. After a few too many, he went a bit to far with the shirtless dancing. I would rather he sulked like the rest of us but at the end of the day it's not a big deal.

Good point about the War Room anecdote, I had forgotten about that. I would imagine none of them wanted to go and got talked into it to 'get their mind off things'. And if one drink makes you feel better, two would help even more. ...and pretty soon down that road were shirtless and Party Rocking just makes sense. Especially Gronk, he seems like after a beer or two he can go Frank The Tank on us.

I must ask you, weren't you just a bit surprised to see all that dancing by guys who lost? What's to celebrate? The loss? Just being there? Puleeeeaaasse... The fans felt like crap after that loss and some of those players showed us what? I would say they certainly did not show that there was any downside in their minds about losing. Now, I'm a pretty reasonable guy but their behavior spoke volumes to me and they were negative volumes. Sorry but that's how I feel.

I am sure that Tedy felt the same way, he would not have given them a pass for that and he, like Rodney would be 100% correct.

Why would you consider it celebrating?

If you suffered the most disappointing day of your career and were out of town with 53 coworkers staying in a hotel, would it take more than 30 seconds to conclude the next stop is a lot of alcohol?
Do you think a 23 year old in a loud bar drinking to forget his sadness is going to sit in the corner and pout?
This is what young people do when they drink, whether they are drinking in celebration of disappointment.
What were you looking for a few suicide attempts?

I'm not and every time I hear Rodney, Tedy, Willie, Ty and Troy on TV, I most often find it either informative or entertaining or both. I sometime even wish Colvin would come on and toss in his views. All of these guys were tough, SOBs who tolerated no BS either from opposing players or within their own clubhouse. Frankly, I wish BB would hire more of his players from the dynasty teams as assistant coaches.

Umm...duh? I think that was part of the point Rodney was making. Those teams won and wouldn't have done that in a loss. People here often long for the good old days. That was part of the reason they were good. Guys took everything personal and serious.

Personally, when I heard Rodney's reaction it made me wish we still had him leading in the locker room...
I think that style of leadership and that example may be exactly what's missing.
So no, not sick of Rodney Harrison at all. He was a great Patriot and in some ways, sometimes, still sort of is.

RhodyPatriot · 02-10-2012, 05:56 AM

Yeah I'm tired of all these ex-jocks who can't get over themsevles.
I'd have more respect for Harrison if he'd ripped into Light with the same intesnity that he went after his non-former teammate Gronk.
Just wish Gronk had told Harrison to stick it and not with an HGH needle.

I heard on the Big Show yesterday that they all had family and friends that were their for the party.

I would trade Gronk for a Young Harrison ANY day of the week!

TE's don't win championships. Leadership on Defense does. Harrison is the man, and for ever will be. And I side with him on this. I have never felt like celebrating after failing to achieve one of my life's goals. EVER... and Harrison, like me, things that is strange.
