Dude I was really pissed he did that. He's a beast of a player, but I don't like seeing that shit. It's a disgrace to the game to be trying to intentionally hurt anyone.

Yeah if you could build an elite tight end, it would be him. but to act like that and throw a temper tantrum and spear yourself into a guys head after the play, that's some serious anger issues lol. Plus he gave his usual frat boy interview after the fact.

Typical Pat player. Act like a total cunt. That could seriously hurt someone's career. That is some Albert Haynesworth level of bullshit. Another reason to hate the Pats.

Yeah, that's one of the cheapest shots I've seen in a while. You want people to hate you, Gronk? This is how you do it.

In other woeful news, my fantasy football title defense has come to an end already. Didn't even make the playoffs this year. :shock: I was actually eliminated last week. Oh well, I'll try to win my league's pick 'em, but my coworker is catching up... at least my team is better than his, although not by much. :(

So, I have no idea who is actually going to win this thing. The Chiefs are imploding, so I think it's a two-horse race in the AFC between the Steelers and Pats... which probably means the Pats. :( The NFC is full of really good teams. The Vikings? The Eagles? The Rams? The Saints?! Man. Pretty nuts. I think I'll be rooting for the Saints this year, although I do like Carson Wentz a lot, too.

Saints, eagles, vikes against the pats. I'll root for the saints. I like alvin kamara, ex UT player they never used lol. AFC looks like crap this year minus new england of course.

My fantasy football team went up in flames also. Every good wr I had had their qb knocked out and everybody else came on too late in the season that should have been putting up points from the get go.

It was something stupid Gronk did, not the team.

Well, Blake Bortles did better than I expected. I didn't think Jacksonville would do so well, and he played a great game. It's a shame the rest of his team got too cocky in the second quarter and started getting all those penalties, because for a second there, it looked like they might actually have the stuff to make it to the Super Bowl. And then they got sloppy, and I figured it was back to business as usual. But good on Bortles, he played better than I thought he could.

Now on to the Vikings and Eagles. I'm leaning towards the Vikings since the Eagles knocked out the Falcons, but admittedly I also think that was fully Atlanta's fault, so either way I am hoping for a good game.

Come on, guys, we all figured this would be the case. But it was cool to think that maybe, just maybe, long shot Jacksonville might end up seeing a Superbowl.

But no, I probably won't be watching the Superbowl and will be rooting for whoever is up against New England.
