The Patriots' Rob Gronkowski kicked off the winter of Gronk last week by appropriately boozing it up in Baton Rouge. Gronk, then spent some quality time sorority hopping at Tulane on Sunday night before he went to Vegas, where he was spotted at a nightclub dancing and giving his friend some variation of a DDT, all while nursing a broken forearm.

John Canzano of The Oregonian believes that coach Chip Kelly, who even visited with the Pats this offseason, is holding out to be New England's coach...

“ (he) absolutely wants is the [job] currently held by 60-year-old three-time Super Bowl champion head coach Bill Belichick, who is as close to Kelly in his monomaniacal drive and ultimate hands-on style as there is in sports.” After all, it’s “the dream gig of every little kid who grows up in New England,” as Canzano points out, while adding that ”Belichick has unique control of Robert Kraft‘s franchise in the same way Kelly does at Oregon.”

Patriots running back and former LSU Tiger Kevin Faulk was told before the Super Bowl he would not being dressed for the game and was designated inactive. He's played 13 years not only in the league, but for New England, something very rare for a running back in the NFL. He recently talked to Boston.com about the emotions that came with not playing in the Super Bowl and the possibility of this being the end of his career. [quote]"That’s probably one of the hardest decisions I’ve made in a long time – a very long time. It’s what’s been taking care of me and my family for a long time and I have to make a decision based upon what’s best for me and my family. Right now and with the emotions that are going on and with the game that just happened last week, I know everyone was speculating that I was going to make a decision, probably today or what not; it’s kind of early. I don’t want to tie my emotions into exactly what went on Sunday that passed, what went on the course of the season, I just think it’s something that I have to sit down and talk with my family and my agent, teammates, former teammates that I’ve talked to, people that I really trust, for me to base my decision off of,” Faulk said.
