The video is on the top of this page. I must be watching something different than some of you because I don't see anything I would label as "grotesque". It looks like every other personal foul for jawing I've ever seen.
I mean, if you want to say it's uncalled for, ok. That's fair. lthough the argument would apply to hundreds and hundreds of similar instances that have occurred on an NFL field.
I'm sorry, I think this site looks ridiculous when our fans resort to labeling things like these as much as worse than what they really were. It's nothing more sour grapes and a complete overreaction by a portion of a butthurt fanbase.
To label Gronkowski's actions as grotesque is ridiculous. Plain and simple.
PS Burfict was falling down now? Oh, please. This is getting absurd: http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/17815082/nfl-reviewing-hit-vontaze-burfict-cincinnati-bengals-martellus-bennett-new-england-patriots
Burfict has been dirty in the past but to me and even Dan Fouts the Bengal hater it looked like he was falling down.
You quote ESPN here and act like it is gospel, sad shit Wes.

C'mon, be better than this. The thinking by some in this thread makes us all look bad. Quit overreacting, and quit applying a completely different set of standards to players, based only on whether or not they wear a Bengals jersey.
Geez Louise.
You are defending Gronk for blatant taunting, that is you. You are overreacting the opposite of me.
Gronk and Blount were out of hand, not Burfict. I would say different if it was different.
I am a Burfict homer i guess tho Wes, i love his passion and the way he defends his teammates and Gronk was taunting before the so-called
dirty hit on Bennett. You are just making excuses for Gronk, Burfict just called him on it. Adam was down and Gronk taunted him and the refs actually saw it. Blew my mind.
