Soon to be walking like Quasimodo, New England Patriots star Rob Gronkowski will be forced to retire prematurely from the NFL

After the standout tight end had a fourth surgery May 20 on his forearm, NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport now claims the New England Patriots “(don’t) know” how serious Rob Gronkowski‘s back injury is. Shelved for the entire 2009 campaign at Arizona following a back operation, the 24-year-old Gronkowski is again feeling “chronic” pain due to degenerative discs. Considering placing the 6-foot-6, 265 pound Neanderthal on the reserve/PUP list, Gronk may need to undergo the knife and miss the first six games of the season. “I wish I knew as much (about Gronkowski’s back) as you’d like me to know,” said Patriots … Continue reading
If healthy and not reeking of booze, Michael Pineda will make a great Yankee this summer in the Bronx

Consistently hitting 93 mph on the radar, New York Yankees flamethrower Michael Pineda tossed five innings on Thursday afternoon in an extended spring training start. Shelved since undergoing the knife last May to fix a torn anterior labral in his right shoulder, the 24-year-old Pineda reported no concerns and is expected to soon partake in a minor league rehab assignment. Acquired from Seattle for Jesús Montero and Héctor Noesí in January 2012, the 6-foot-7, 260 pound Dominican threw a fastball averaging 94.7 mph as a Mariners rookie in 2011. Largely thanks to Andy Pettitte, CC Sabathia, Hiroki Kuroda and the … Continue reading

The 34-year-old Kessler (46-2, 35 KOs) managed to trump the 35-year-old Froch (30-2, 22 KO) by a unanimous decision in their initial April 2010 bout during the Super Six World Boxing Classic. “I think Froch is going to win the fight,” Calzaghe, 41, told Press Association Sport. “He’s been active, Kessler’s been very inactive, he’s only had three fights in three years since their last fight which was … Continue reading
Legendary badass Chuck Norris says Tim Tebow is the most ‘inspiring athlete to play the game of football’

Legendary badass Chuck Norris believes in Tim Tebow and contends the embattled quarterback deserves a spot in the NFL. After attempting a measly eight passes and 32 runs in the swamps of Jersey, the 25-year-old Tebow was clipped by the New York Jets on April 29. Acquired from the Denver Broncos for a fourth and sixth-round selection in the 2012 draft, the native Floridian was supposed to challenge the immortal Mark Sanchez for time under center. Instead, Jets coaches firmly refused to give the 6-foot-3, 235 pound Tebow an opportunity and enabled Sanchez’s unwatchable performances. “Tebow is a player who … Continue reading
Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz plans to use Reggie Bush as a runner, receiver and return specialist

Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz has wisely been letting the electric Reggie Bush return punts in organized team activities. Signing a four-year contract with Detroit in March worth roughly $20 million, Schwartz also plans to frequently target the 28-year-old Bush as a receiver and use the former Trojan as a full-time, three-down back. Splitting carries with youngster Lamar Miller in Miami, the 6-foot, 203 pound Bush rushed for 986 yards and six touchdowns as a Dolphin in 2012. Compiling 2,730 yards and 15 scores as a receiver since debuting in 2006, the wannabe Heisman Trophy winner will compensate for … Continue reading
