Just try to bring Rob Gronkowski down from his continual high-on-life attitude — it ain’t happening.

"I thought it was totally done and it was crazy to see it happen again. It's kind of getting stupid to the point where it's at now,” Gronkowski said (via ESPN.com), adding he was with Brady when the U.S. Second Court of Appeals reinstated the ban last month. “Why it's still going on now ... I think he's going to play 16 games again. That's the way it's been going on, that's the way it's worked...
"But everyone just keeps on grinding. You've got to focus on what you've got to focus on. Myself, what I've got to focus on, is becoming the best player I can be in the offseason right now.
"No matter who's at quarterback, you've got to be prepared and be ready to help out the team."
As it stands, Jimmy Garoppolo will man the Patriots offense for the first four games of the season. But Brady still has until May 23 to ask for a rehearing in front of the same three-judge panel or a new hearing…so maybe Gronk is onto something.
