"Gronk's On His Way Out" Believes Former NFL LB Bart Scott

[TennisBallHead]

He basically got a job on one of those pregame shows because he's a loud-mouthed moron.

Errr.....sorry. I mean, "he tells it like it is".

So because of this back problem he's had since college before the Pats drafted him and drafted him anyway it's all of a sudden a problem?
He's like Felger, saying stupid **** for attention. I'll be sure and do the same as I do for Felger and ignore him from now on.

Another "gossip girl" offering by PatsFans.com Articles. I need to start paying attention to who/what is creating threads . Today I waded into:

1) Bart Scott's bloviating
2) Bennett's Twittering
3) The rantings on an ex NFL exec commenting on a plane crash

We all need new lives

He was just talking sh*t on his bye week. He'll have to get back to playing this week anyway. Wait . . .

Gronk hates his coach.

Kidding obviously. Here we have another example of a minor comment being blown out of proportion.

Little Barty's butthurt because Brady beat the Green Beans again. It's his passive-aggressive method of retaliation.

Since I have back problems and have had them for the past 6 years (I have the best doctors in the New York area), good days and bad days, I think it is a reality that BB will let him go in the future. A player has to be there for the big games and unfortunately Gronk is a question mark.

Never argue with an idiot. They force you to go down to their level and beat you with their experience.

remember when Jim irsay was saying how smart he and the colts were for passing on Gronk because Gronk had gotten hurt?

i think we all learned how susceptible people are to that kind of person

Time to excuse myself and beat up my vaunted scratching post.

I said it on Facebook and I'll say it here. The next time Bart Scott is right about the Patriots will be the first time.

The guy is a douche. plain and simple.

I think they felt comfortable enough with their medical checkup to take a shot with him in the 2nd round, as it had been a year or so since his diskectomy ('09) and he had been healing well.

Since then, he's had another diskectomy ('13) on a different disk, which thankfully for him, didn't require a fusion surgery (yet). He then went onto hurt his back again on Sunday and the medical staff prevented him from attending his charity event at Children's Hospital on Monday night.

I'm certainly not a doctor, but there's enough smoke there to suggest concern for me, yes. Multiple back surgeries are not a good sign for anyone, let alone someone who makes their living as a professional athlete. JJ Watt is in a similar boat.
