Gronk on Sergio Brown: 'I threw him out of the club'
Gronk came. Gronk saw. Gronk conquered.
While Rob Gronkowski didn't put up the big numbers last night that many have come to expect, he had a few big highlights. One of which included throwing Colts safety and former teammate, Sergio Brown, to the turf after Jonas Gray scored his fourth touchdown of the game.
After the play was over, Gronkowski and Brown were jostling in the back left corner of the end zone, and that was when Gronk had enough. The bruising tight end threw Brown into a television camera and described it as a night a lot of guys are probably familiar with
.
Per Phil Perry of CSNNE.com:
Aside from being teammates in 2010 and 2011, Brown was the player who broke Gronkowski's arm late in the fourth quarter during the 2012 match up between these two teams at Gillette Stadium. The Patriots won that game 51-24. The incident occurred on a late point after attempt by New England, and many questioned why Gronkowski was out there at all due to the game being out of reach.
Many believe, as well as myself, that had Gronkowski stayed healthy that year, he may not have re-broken that same arm in the playoffs against the Texans later that season and the Patriots would have went on to the Super Bowl.
That is the kind of impact that Gronkowski has had, and will have going forward.
One of the other highlights from last night's win over the Colts that has people talking today is the effort by Gronkowski to turn what looked like a third down play that would result in just a first down, into a touchdown late in the fourth quarter.
In another highlight reel play, Gronk evaded multiple tackles and then emphatically hopped over a defender into the end zone, putting the final nail in Indianapolis's coffin.

Per Phil Perry of CSNNE.com:
"He was just yappin' at me the whole time," Gronkowski told NBCSN. "So I took him and threw him out of the club."Gronk is a fiery guy, and in a way, it was sort of cool to see him get that angry and throw another player down the way he did. That might have something to do with the history the two players have.
