Can Everyone Calm The Fuck Down About Gronk?

     

     So I've been listening to the Sports Hub and all they've been talking about is how the Patriots are fucked in the Super Bowl because Gronk has a high ankle sprain and will probably need surgery during the offseason. Cry me a fuckin river.  This is the fucking Super Bowl, the grandest stage of them all.  This is where legends are made.  So in no particular order here's a list of a few players transcending all sports that have overcome terrible injuries for a short period of time to achieve greatness:

1. Terrell Ownens Super Bowl XXXIX (9 rec 122 yrds) broken leg
2. Tiger Woods 2008 Masters  torn ACL
3. Curt Schilling 2004 ALCS/World Series injured right ankle 
4. Kirk Gibson 1988 World Series injured both knees and had stomach bug
5. Willis Reed 1970 NBA Final torn thigh muscle 

     As, you can see people have overcome just as much if not more than Gronk faces next weekend in Indy. Also to be totally honest we don't need Gronk to have six reception for a hundred yards and a touchdown.  They just need him on the field to block and to run the occasional route across the middle.  If he's open Brady throws it to him and he instantly goes down for a five yard gain.  If he's covered he's covered, thats one less guy that can cover Hernandez or Welker or anyone else for that matter.

     Injured or not, with the stats that Gronk has put up this season the Giants are gonna have to respect him until he shows he can't preform.
