He was dancing, possibly on M, after being injured. I didn't have a problem with it, but it wasn't the best look.
Whoa, where is the 'possibly on M' coming from? That's not anything I've heard before. Source or are you just speculating? Because that seems a tad irresponsible (as minor as that may be for an accusation on a private message board).
I'll google, but I'm pretty sure it was discussed here at the time given how he was dancing and how sweaty he was.
This is true, but what should change isnt people laughing along with Gronk.
Seriously, it's pretty bad. Reminds me of another terrible video... (apologies in advance for the audio)
3LAU is the (pretty bad) DJ who had Gronk twerking on stage at Ultra Music Festival a couple years ago, so yeah, they're friends.

Yeah for some reason it was highlighted as a hot article in something else I was reading, as if it were fresh, and I missed that. So it goes. Still a good window into his mind, but yeah, you might've seen it last year.
Great news. But it's also concerning. That's two games in a row where he's either looked balky or got tweaked during the game. I'm officially at the point where I have fear every time he's tackled.
I know this is anti-thetical to his Gronkness and what I'm sure BB preaches, but would it make sense for Gronk to try to moderate his game and not fight through every tackle on every play? I'm not suggesting that he pull a full Tony Eason, but catch the ball, catch it in traffic, and go to the ground once you are wrapped up.
At this stage in his career, he should certainly do that. The extra 4-20 yards are awesome and it's cool to watch him Gronk Stomp, but he needs to avoid taking hits. If he doesn't moderate, could he even play two more years?
There really isn't anything he can do with his style of play to lessen the risk of injury. It would be a disservice to him and his teammates if he were intentionally going away from things out of fear he may get injured. As BB says, football players play football. In fact, the risk of injury may be greater if he was consciously doing something out of the ordinary in order to avoid injury.
That's sort of my point, its a logical thought but doesnt really seem practical to implement. It seems to me like the main way to reduce Gronk's chances of getting injured is to reduce his role attacking the middle of the field in the passing game. So maybe he sits the fourth quarter when the Pats are winning and maybe he runs fewer routes against the Jets or w/e when one of the scrub squads comes to town, but basically there's just not a lot to be done.
He re-broke the arm in part because it wasn't fully healed yet. Yes, he fell on it trying to make a catch on the sideline but the arm was not fully healed.
I'm with you. Every time he goes down I hold my breath, waiting for him to pop back up. When he gets up even just a little bit slowly, I think... oh crappppppppppppp...
The problem with that is that he's such a good blocker in the run game. Sure, Allen is too but the 2 TE sets are an advantage the coaching staff wants to use. You theoretically could take him out of the game when it's a blowout to limit risk or rotate him through certain series similar to what they do with the RBs and have him on a "pitch count." However, BB's philosophy is that if the doctor clears the player he's going to play a full role. He may have to re-think that with Gronk.
