It's easy, and only takes a few moments."Whatever is holding him back now isn't going to be healed in two weeks, because there's nothing wrong with the arm," said the source who was among those questioning the tight end's playing status.
"ALL OF GRONK'S TEAMMATES love him and support his decision to continue sitting out. The Pats front office loves Gronk and supports his decision to continue to sit out. Do not believe the lies being spread by Ed Werder and the national media. Everyone knows that Ed Werder is a dirty, lying, bolshevik hell-bent on destroying our holy regime. He shall be dealt with by our fearless leader, shortly. Carry on, friends. There is nothing to see here. I repeat, there is NOTHING to see here. On a related note, the war is going swimmingly and in the end we WILL WIN. Don't believe those scurrilous lies about the 6th army's surrender at Stalingrad. Werder made those up too."
No, with that statement i don't think he visited a Holiday Inn Express. More like Motel 6Lemme guess. You're not a doctor but you stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night?
felger and troy brown and co are stirring this **it further right now.
Considering the amount of guaranteed money on his recent contract extension, I highly doubt his "livelihood" is on the line.
If his career ended today, he'd still have a huge amount of money due him from the Pats as well as a pretty strong name recognition for an analysis/promotional type role somewhere.
per WCCP-FM, Walt Deptula NFL podcast:
That's it in a nutshell. Gronk doesn't trust the team docs and is waiting for this andrews dude to clear him. I think he should just get another checkup pronto. We gonna need him soon. He's paid to play not practice.

Please stop quoting the Nazi-referencing JEST troll.
Just the nature of plates. They need to take those things out. Pats WO gronk equals mediocre.How do you know ? You spoke to gronk ?
If it was a question of discomfort I fully believe he would be out there, he played the 2011 super bowl on one leg and played the first half of last season with a back and hip issue and then played in obvious pain against Jacksonville at the end of the season last year. If Gronkowski is not on the field it's is because there is risk for further damage or a rebreak, suggesting otherwise is really unfair to a player who has proven to play through pain on multiple occasions over his first three NFL seasons.
Maybe some fans would have more respect for Gronk and his so called family team if he actually took care of his body during the off season. You would think that excessive alcohol consumption, and body slamming people while wearing a cast are not conducive to a speedy recovery from surgery.
I can't fault Gronkowski for anything that he's doing. People questioning his heart or calling him a diva are so far off base it's ridiculous.
The guy heeded team advice last year and came back but it was obviously too early. The fact that he came back and played in the games he played despite having obvious issues shows just how much heart this guy has.
But now he's paying a price and there's a small risk to his longterm future so he's going to be cautious. I would to.
His early comeback last year has cost this team a lot.
