Ankle Injury, Gronk Style

Bostonians are freaking out, and not without reason, over the health of Pats tight end Rob Gronkowski. Gronkowski caught three touchdowns in New England's divisional playoff win over the Broncos, and was their leading receiver in Sunday's win over Baltimore. Unfortunately, he also sustained what's suspected to be a high ankle sprain in the third quarter of that game, and while he returned in the fourth, he's been spotted in a walking boot since.

Thankfully, Lord Gronk seems to be in good hands, with several of his closest associates working round-the-clock, helping him make a full recovery in time for the Super Bowl.

I know some people are going to be upset by pictures of player who's supposedly injured out getting his swerve on, but they really shouldn't be, for two reasons:

1) Unless I'm told otherwise, I'm going to assume that all the women pictured are medical professionals assigned by the Patriots, and that by grabbing his crotch, they're forcing him to adjust his posture and take pressure off the injured ankle.

2) He's Rob Gronkowski. According to ESPN Desportes, the man doesn't just like to party. He IS party.
