Take a chill pill, Gronk

After he got his extension earlier this summer, Gronk has been in the news almost daily. This summer he has done the nude shoot for ESPN magazine, and has been everywhere partying. So the Patriots have wisely told Big Gronk to bring it down a notch.

"After posing nude for ESPN The Magazine's 'Body Issue' and partying at events for the issue and the ESPYs (Gronkowski was up for two awards but was shut out)," Young wrote Sunday, "and co-hosting 'Access Hollywood Live' in recent days -- things that seem un-Patriot-like -- don't be surprised if he lays low for the next couple of weeks. Via a league source, Gronkowski has been told by the team that his summer of Gronk, so to speak, is over." 

I think the Patriots are smart to tell Gronk to get out of the public eye, but this being "un-patriot-like", I do not agree with.

This Gronk media overhaul has been a little excessive, but this is Gronk being Gronk, this is his personality. I don't think Bill Belichick or the front office of the Patriots is all too happy with it, but Rob Gronkowski has showed in his couple of years in the league, that he knows the "Patriot Way."
