Where have I seen this before?

The Gronk ankle watch continues in earnest. It's all anyone is talking about. Did Gronk practice? How is Gronk? Will Gronk play?

The boot is off. There is talk of a "special cleat" for the Super Bowl (I wonder if Belichick leaks that stuff out just for laughs). Gronkowski said he was taking "mental reps" when he couldn't practice. Gronk taking mental reps. Hmmmm. Then today, the man who had the greatest season ever for a tight end, reportedly stepped on the field for "limited" participation in practice.

I expect Gronk to play and play pretty much like Gronk. I don't think Gronk knows how to play any other way. Pain or no pain. Torn ligaments or no torn ligaments.

A star player having an ankle injury before the biggest game of the year? The media following every twist and turn of the ankle story? Fans hoping the star player can get on the field? It worked out pretty well the last time that happened....
