https://www.yahoo.com/celebrity/news/rob-gronkoswki-shades-denver-broncos-204024590.htmlRob Gronkowski, 26, knows that to win a Super Bowl, you have to get into your opponents head. But the New England Patriots tight end got pretty gross when he blasted his AFC Champions opponents, the Denver Broncos. Does Gronk now owe someone an apology?
Gronk was chatting with the Pats Nation on Jan. 19, ahead of the Jan. 24 game. One Pats fan said she heard the (Broncos) are gunna hit Rob Gronkowski in the knees to bring him down, @Patriots be careful. Dont wanna see him hurt again! While Rob seemed to appreciate the concern, his response about the Broncos wasnt so heartwarming: Heard their whole team is good at giving low blows.
Uh, yeah. Gronks quasi-homophobic insult aside, he has some legit beef with Denver over its defensive strategy. When the Pats faced off against Denver on Nov. 29, Rob had to be carted off the field after defender Darian Stewart surprise, surprise hit him low. Gronks right knee whipped to the back and the right after colliding with Darian. While this wasnt an initial thought to be a dirty hit, Gronk might be on his guard going into the division championship game.

(17,087 posts)Nothing in Gronk's remarks indicates anything that should be construed as homophobia. Low blows derives from boxing and is nothing more than another phrase for cheap shot. Something the author of this tripe should well know about.

(20,365 posts)Q: Are you surprised your tweet from earlier in the week received so much attention?
RG: No, I was just having a little fun with it, hoping to get a little laughs, which I think it did. Its just all fun and games with that.
Q: Did you want to elaborate on it any more than Twitters 140 characters allows you to?
RG: No, Im good.
