Rob Gronkowski says he's bored as NFL playoffs quickly approach

Rob Gronkowski spent 11 seasons in the NFL and he did accomplish a few things here or there.

Four Super Bowl wins, four All-Pro teams, and five Pro Bowls is certainly not a resume to be scoffed at. 

There's also the fact that he and Tom Brady became perhaps the most potent one-two combination between a quarterback and all-time ever.

That's a fact that was true with the New England Patriots, but it was solidified when they went to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and kept on truckin'.

Brady was able to get Gronk back in the fold for another run in Tampa but the big tight end officially called it a career in September. 

What's he been doing since then? Presumably "Gronk things", but it does seem that all the party rockin' in the world may not be enough to satiate his big appetite for fun and excitement

That's, at least, if you believe Gronk on Twitter.

Brady and the Buccaneers are at 6-8 and riding a two-game losing streak. 

With that said, they still are currently a playoff team thanks to them holding the top spot in the putrid NFC South.  

Could this be the opening Tom Terrific needs to lure his old friend out of retirement for a second time? 

It certainly would be great timing for both him and the Buccaneers, and it's worth noting that Gronkowski's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, did tell Adam Schefter back in June that he wouldn't be surprised if Gronk came running if Brady gave him another call.

Stay tuned football fans. This saga many not be over just yet.
