Gronk Links: Tom Brady and the media also thinks it sucks that Gronkowski is hurt

Tom Brady went on WEEI this morning, as he does every Monday, and obvious he was asked about the Gronk injury. His response was as you'd expect.

NFL:

"I knew he got injured, but I obviously didn't know the extent," Brady told WEEI-FM on Monday morning, via the Boston Herald. "He's such a great player. It sucks that he gets hurt, but it's part of the game, so he’s got to do his best to get back as soon as possible. We've got to go out there and win some games without him."

We've already said that the Patriots can get along just fine without Gronk for the next few weeks. He is a big part of the offense, but Brady said he expects one of their other weapons to step up and fill the void.

"He does a lot for us," Brady said. "I think there's a reason why you have other guys on the roster, too -- Visanthe (Shiancoe), Daniel Fells, (Aaron) Hernandez, Hooman (Michael Hoomanawanui), everyone has to step up with having Gronk out. ... No one cares what's going on with us. We’ve got to still go out there and win."

With this being such a huge story, here's some other links on the injury.

ESPN's Ron Jaworski says,"You don't replace Gronk" - Yeah, no shit.
