Gronk coming back to the NFL to be a Bronco?

Yesh. That's why he tried to play baseball when he got suspended from the NBA (bc gambling). He is a competitor to the core of his being.

Are you talking about his abrupt one year retirement? It was because his father had been brutally murdered and he was also tired of the pressure and focus on him. But his retirement only lasted one year. Magic called it- said that Jordan would miss it so much he'd be back the next season and he was.

The rumor that his one year retirement was in lieu of an outright suspension for his gambling was never substantiated or directly addressed. What supports this is that he continued gambling during his second stint and even beyond his playing career. It appears to be a lifelong issue,

yeah.
 
Ward made the hit in the game against Cleveland, which was the one that ended his 2013 season. The one in Denver in 2015 was by Darian Stewart, which turned out to be a bone bruise to his knee, and he obviously dodged a major bullet. You could see he was obviously frightened after the play that he suffered yet another significant knee injury, especially after working so hard to come back from the other one. That one obviously shook him, and it also led to him and his family releasing that statement when it came to the timetable for his return, etc.

Definitely a crazy moment, and he got really lucky it wasn't worse. If I were him, I don't know if I'd want to come back. He's got nothing left to prove.
Maybe the way to stop players from going after the knees of a player who is a physical mismatch for them, is to allowed the injured player to get to hit the offender in the knee with a baseball bat.

It sucks to see marginal players like Ward destroy the careers of great ones like Gronk.

I don’t know, maybe not.

Just a thought.

No chance Stern suspended him lol, Stern would burry the bodies himself to get Jordan to play.

This is one of the worst sports conspiracy theories of all times, Stern had zero integrity there’s no way he would have done that.

the gronk report was utterly silly and made up
 
Worth noting that Gronk is only 5 MONTHS OLDER than Kelce....
 
Let's Ride baby!

Saw him up in Avon. Snowboarding...
