    Rob Gronkowski, encapsulated in one sentence: ‘Yo soy fiesta’

    By MJD | Shutdown Corner – Mon, Jan 23, 2012 10:49 PM EST

    Rob Gronkowski's eyes get big when he realizes that someone's speaking a language other than English, but then he flashes his mad Español skills and settles into a groove. By the time he's done, you know just about everything you need to know about Rob Gronkowski.

    If Super Bowl week passes and I don't see anyone wearing a No. 87 Patriots jersey with "YO SOY FIESTA" on the back, I'm going to be very disappointed.

    In other Gronk news, the New England tight end's ankle should be good to go for Super Sunday. Or, as Roberto might say, " EL TOBILLO ES LA SALUD."

    Gracias, Deadspin.

        I'm a huge Giants fan and I agree with you 100%. Awesome talent, great speed, non-flashy...would have been a star in any football era...wish the G-men had him!

        Thank you for the message, Tony. #87 is a solid, tough guy. The yards that he gets after the hit are amazing, he just drags guys down the field! Regardless of the logo on the jersey, I am a fan of his "other level" style of play. Added bonus is that he plays for my favorite team. Even though we won't be rooting the same way come SB Sunday, I wish you all the best and I hope that players and fans enjoy the day safely.

      Glad he's okay. I'd hate for these two teams to have anybody out hurt. Going to be the most epic Super Bowl since the last time they played.

      This guy and Aaron Hernandez are the reason why I want the Pats to win.

      If Gronk is healthy and BenJarvus can get some play out the back field then Brady will be one SuperBowl away from getting a Five Finger Ring

      Maybe he'll call back that chick he posed with on Twitter a while back and she can be his fiesta.

        My bad there. Not a big fan of the PAC 10/12/14, just like to follow good exciting players.

      the best part is that the ravens wanted both of these TE's and BB traded up just ahead of them in both cases. bill doesn't always draft the best , but he struck gold in 2010.

      I hate those monkey-swing tackles where the guy wraps his arms around the other guy's waist and then swings his lower body into the back of the guy's legs. I'm amazed more guys haven't been crippled by those tackles; they seem as bad or worse than a horsecollar.

      Shouldn't it be, "Mi tobillo está sano"?

      At least TRY not to be like Chris Chase, MJD.

      I hate the Pats, but I love this guy. He's like Chris Cooley version 2.0.
