I poured concrete for 35 years. Murder on the body. The last five or six years, I had enough guys to do the job that I didn't have to. But for a couple years, I kept going out there and doing it because it was so ingrained in me.
So finally, I listened to the people around me and gave it up.
A year goes by and I get all healed and I'm feeling pretty damn good. I decide to work for a couple days. It was the second day that convinced me. I was done. And I've never been hit with a car like Gronk has a thousand times. On a different scale, this is what is inevitable. Aside from RBs, who gets hit with bad intent more than a TE?
This is what will happen to Gronk. He's just been crashed into or crashed into people too many times. He'll won't lose any skills. But he will feel old.
Maybe they load manage him and save him for the playoffs. But what if they have to fight for a playoff spot?
I'm sure it will be more fun out from under the thumb of Bill and be in a new place with his buddy Tom. But will the fun outweigh the pain?
