Core Four Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 https://www.yahoo.com/sports/rob-gronkowski-happy-being-suspended-161536492.html One of the cheapest shots I remember seeing. Tre White was getting the best of Gronk that game, which clearly frustrated him. A one game suspension for that cheap shot was a joke, the NFL's concern about player safety takes a back seat to game ratings. Apparently, Gronk needed a week away from football, but the NFL made sure he was back for the prime time Steelers vs Pats* game. Quote “I was happy,” Gronkowski said of learning about his suspension per Patriots Wire. “I was finally happy. I was like, ‘Yes, I’m away from football for a week. I get to recover my body.’ I mean, when you’re running full speed into people, it definitely was taking a toll on me. ” … I lost a paycheck — it was about $300,000, that game check — and I didn’t even care one bit. I was just glad I had a week off from football, because I needed it.” Several weeks later, Barry Church rung Gronk's bell in the Jax vs NE playoff game, helmet to helmet that gave Gronk a nice concussion. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robs House Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Knowing what I know about Tre White now I think it might enjoy watching replace of that hit. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not as high on Tre White as a player than some are, but that cheap shot was uncalled for and borderline criminal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
