It is an emotional moment in the heat of battle, far short of taking a knife across town and slashing throats. My analogy is far closer than yours, which was my point.
Trying to cripple someone is more than being in the heat of the moment. Using your logic though, OJ could argue that he was in the heat of the moment also. Your analogy really down plays how vicious and despicable Gronk was... he was borderline psychopathic criminal. Your point isn’t nearly as close as you think, which is my point.

Pretty harsh, there. It’s like hating Larry Bird or Bill Laimbeer for throwing an elbow, or even a punch, in the heat of competition. It’s wrong, and it’s dirty (and the Gronk hit is as DIRTY as I can think of in decades!), but it’s not like taking a knife to go end two lives. Your hyperbole is off the mark here, IMO.
Oh, and OJ has an ugly track record aside from that night. Way off, there, sir.
Trying to cripple someone is way different than throwing an elbow or fist

I know I'm in the minority, but I've always thought that Rob Gronkowski was what was RIGHT for football. Talented, fun and clean. The White hit was terrible; but it was an isolated incident for which I refuse to label him.
He's a great dude.
Hmmm, I guess you probably think OJ is great dude also, except for his one slip up.

That’s really nice.
Still, ***** you Gronk.
This is the perfect response! I gave you a trophy and a quoted reply... this was a great donation from a giant doooosh bag. Wish he would have had his career ended by a late forearm to the back of his neck, but we weren’t that lucky... at least this cheap shotting, illegal pick setting monstrosity is no longer suiting up.

Its been quite the drought for those Knights.
LOL, didn't mention a drought, but I get your point... there does seem to be a bit of animosity on these boards towards my Knights. Is it because we have a far louder/better/superior arena experience on a weekday game than the Sabres can muster on their best weekend? I was on the BBMB for years saying how Vegas was starved for a professional team, and whichever sport gets here first will have a ravenous fan base. You can't go anywhere around Vegas without seeing Golden Knights gear (literally everywhere). I am a lifelong Bills fan, born and raised in Vegas. I get the passion that comes with being loyal with a team through thick and thin, especially through 17 years of a playoff drought. But this city's passion for the golden knights is not for show... At the school I teach at, every other room has Golden Knights decor all over.
They are my Knights, just as the Bills are My Bills. My passion for both teams is unwavering. Though, It is quite fun to see a little jealousy in the snarky remarks from others, when I wasn't being snarky to them. So again, Yes, My Knights, and don't let your Sabre inferiority complex make you a turd... It is unbecoming.

One of my favorite players, David Perron, did a very nice job all through the playoffs... I’m glad he’s got his name on the cup, just wish it was with my Knights

I noticed from the videos that Josh Allen missed hitting the training tent with his passes multiple times... very concerning!

I was thinking about watching videos of Sammy Watkins with our Bills, and I remembered our WR coach teaching him to run low(hunched down) so DBs won't know when he is breaking his routes. All I could think of was that Sammy's greatest attribute was his speed, so by making him run unnatural was very stupid. We basically eliminated his advantage. Now I see videos of WRs being told to take at least 4 small steps to make an out cut. When a WR makes 4 steps to cut, then the DB is able to gather his feet and make extra steps to break on the route also. I have seen plenty of WRs make a fast/crisp out cut with one plant step. I would have had wet dreams as a DB in college knowing the WRs would take 4 small steps before a route break! All I needed was a small delay to make a break and jump a route, and these 4 small steps that are taught would be a good corners dream come true.
Which Brings me to my next complaint... Speed outs. It is designed so WRs can get to an out route as fast as possible, but because of the bowed trajectory, they end up curving into the DBs path. A lazy route is when there are no sharp cuts, and the DB can close ground fairly easy because the WR wandered into the DBs territory. As a DB, your momentum is moving backwards in your backpedal, and you have to react when a WR cuts/breaks. No matter what, you have to fight your inertia to start moving the other direction. But when a WR rounds a cut and allows you to move your centrifugal force to the side as opposed to forward, it becomes so much easier to change directions and break on a ball. This is where I think the PATs have really excelled(god I hate them). Their route runners don't bow routes or take 4-6 steps to make a cut. They use precise one step moves with head and shoulder(not shampoo) fakes. I think someone tried to out think their predecessors and tried to find a better way to make a field cut, and ended up with a good hypotheses that doesn't work in the real world.
Anyways, this rant is mainly for playing against man-to-man teams. Against Zone teams, all that matters is getting to the open zone at the right time, so run like a duck if you want.

You know what I think? I think that Chris Brown is one of (if not the) the most tenured people at OBD, and I think it's about time we transition... I associate him with all kinds of horrible football teams.
There's a version of this that ends very badly for you...
Only a couple hundred bucks badly... not too bad

I did watch him play. The Coaches and I agree that Clay was the best TE on the team last year. How did we improve that position? He still is better than what we have, just not worth the price.
What coaches? He was lackluster at best, and extremely disappointing at worst. He was very good at dropping game winning touchdown passes last year. He won’t be missed... at all.

No, you are excusing Gronk. That is exactly what you’re doing... you are making an excuse for his abhorrent act, so you are excusing him. Calling it, the heat of the moment... kinda like a crime of passion.
You’re making excuses for a scumbag who tried to deliberately end the career of a young player whose biggest fault that game was playing aggressive bump and run. You are making an excuse for him, admit it. Because that’s literally what you did... you made an excuse for why Gronks act wasn’t “that” bad.
Gronk: 6’6” 280
Tre: 5’11” 190
Takes a big man to dive with all his body weight onto the back neck of a MUCH smaller rookie and try to cripple him. Gronk is a scumbag through and through.
