Coach Belichick must be perturbed over the news about Rob Gronkowski's ankle injury. The team has done a good job in maintaining a blackout about any information concerning injuries. Players repeat the company line in their refusal to talk about injuries. That's how they do things. It has worked very well.
It was obvious to anyone that Gronk suffered a severe injury in the AFC Championship game. The replay is tough to watch as Gronk got his ankle badly twisted. He has not practiced, but everyone says he will play in the Super Bowl. How effective he will be is another story.
Everything was going well until Gronk's father decided to speak to a Buffalo area television station. He said Rob had a high ankle sprain, but would be ready by next Sunday.
Although he might have stated the obvious, why did he speak to the media? Did his son authorize him to do so? Rob is now an adult and doesn't need his father speaking for him. Surprisingly, parents of players seem to stay out of the mix. They should refrain from any comments as they are not the ones playing the game. All of these players are adults and don't need anyone to give their opinions, especially if they are not a doctor.
