No comment has yet been given by Gronkowski, but we all know what he’s gonna say: Yo soy fiesta!
I grew up watching my New England Patriots in the great State of Maine. Not gonna lie, it took me awhile to get used to this Tom Brady guy instead of my boy Drew, but 3 Superbowls are AWWWWFUL persuasive! I have a great passion for all sports, but the Pats hold a special place in the ventricular. And I hate the Jets. A lot.
