i post this because i find it funny how the guy is on crutches but was ok to dance at a nightclub on his ankle. i feel like theres more to gronk's ankle injury.

He had surgery a couple of weeks ago, so it's no big deal that he's still in crutches....if anything, a bigger issue would be if he wasn't in crutches a couple weeks after a surgery

i understand that, but why would you worsen your ankle injury by going out dancing?

Nothing like a little dancing to get over a Super Bowl loss?

Yeah this is just a Colts fan trying to start crap because he is a Patriot.

The guy probably had a ton of adrenaline still flowing, plus whatever pain killers he took, and went out after the Super Bowl to blow off steam a an event put on by the owner of his team.

This is not a big deal and the OP is just trying to stir the pot.

[Peyton and Eli fan]

He didn't go out to a club - it was a party thrown by Robert Kraft. so what if he danced and he was already planning on getting the surgery - it wasn't because of the dancing.

Doctors probably told him that he could do no more damage than had already been done.

Cocaine's a heck of a drug.

It is called adrenaline and probably alcohol.

The guy just had surgery recently so that is why he is on crutches. Like the poster said above me he probably could not do much more to it so he played, had some fun, and then had surgery.

adrenaline wores off once the game ends.

that's when the alcohol kicks in :yes:

[ReMeDy]

If he had surgery afterwards, then yea, that would put him in crutches. After a Superbowl loss, probably the last thing on a player's mind is getting surgery, so he delayed it.

Do not take this as an attack, but have you ever played organized sports? I am not talking about playing football or basketball with friends in the back yard. I have games sometimes at 9:30 or 10:00 at night and thankfully they are on the weekend because I am not getting tired till 1 or 2 in the morning when the adrenaline finally wears off. Adrenaline just does not go away when the game is over.

I know a friend who hurt his knee in a soccer game one night in a league I played in and we all went to this bar that was near buy and he was up dancing and have a good time with the ladies. Now he regretted it in the morning, but adrenaline plus alcohol makes you forget a lot of stuff until the morning.

I am sure Gronk was feeling it on Monday.

WOW! What a disrespectful, and slanderous thing to say.

Dude, It was a DUMB thing to say.. wasn't funny or even semi amusing. (besides you put no emoticon after it let anyone know you were kidding so how anyone suppose to know you were NOT serious?)

I thought it was funny, he's quoting Dave Chappelle imitating Rick James. You gotta get up to speed on pop culture!

[Andy]

Too bad! Hopefully it doesn't effect his leaping ability for years to come.

Seriously? Lighten up, Francis.

Now :topic: . Each player handles a SB loss differently. Brady stares into the abyss for 10-20 minutes, gronk dances, some cry etc etc. If you truly find it a big deal then I guess the only thing you can do is go wah about it while you watch him dancing with friends family and .

I personally did not have a problem with Gronk dancing, he very likely was dancing in place and not really twisting and moving on the ankle . . .I don't really have a problem with him dancing aftering the SB, the party was likely already scheduled and he wanted to both off steam . . I for one would not be doing it myself and would likely be sulking somewhere or in bed or something . . .

but at the same time I can understand how some would feel seeing their player celebrating after a loss . . .the ole why is he happy, smiling and having fun after a devasting loss . . . it is really no different than someone poking fun at themselves by say . . . hmm . . . going on the Letterman show and trying a FG attempt that he missed one in a tough playoff loss resulting in his team missing a chance at OT . . . some players act different and release dissappoint after a tough loss . .. some sulk, some go to bed, some dance, some make fun of themselves and the mistake . . .
