Found January 18, 2012 on The Rap Sheet:
PLAYERS: Ty Law,  Troy Brown
TEAMS: Denver Broncos,  New England Patriots

The Patriots are naming four honorary captains for Sunday’s AFC Championship game, saluting the 1996 and 2001 AFC title teams in the process. Earlier in the week, WR Troy Brown was named the first one. The second of the four unveiled today is Ty Law. Cool. The legendary CB, who played for the Pats from 1995 to 2004, was a former first-round pick and one of the best at his position. He has 53 career interceptions and seven TDs. So, that’s two down. Two to go. Any guesses on the final two?

I needed something to fill this void so this is where GRONKING came in! What is GRONKING you ask?
