If Gronk wanted to play a handful of games mostly in the postseason because the grind is getting to him he would be doing and saying exactly what he is doing now.I agree that Gronk is most likely not coming back, but there is some real journalism malpractice going on in 2019. Maybe Phil Perry doesn't understand the power of words, but if you're in the print media, it's a prerequisite to understand that words have meaning.
He claims in a tweet that Gronk "swears" he's retired. Nothing in the linked article quote by Gronk states that.

Gronk says he’s retired. For good. He swears. https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/patriots/gronk-rumors-potential-return-you-can-put-them-rest …

""....Oh man! Whatever I say, it doesn't matter. It will always be crazy out there, but you can put them to rest," Gronkowski said per ESPN's Mike Reiss. "I'm feeling good. [In a] good place. It's great to be back here......"
Does anyone read in those words "I swear, I'm retired"?????
If Mr. Perry wants credibility, he has a responsibility to his readers for accuracy and truth.
That doesn’t mean he does want to do that just that nothing he says definitively would rule it out.
And if he does come back you can guarantee we will be accused of cheating.
