ob Gronkowski is a bonafide man-child, and it's no more evident than when he talks about the number 69, including a story where he purposely missed a shot on his high school basketball team to keep his squad's point total at 69. The Madden curse has become stuff of legend, and it seems the legend is very much alive as Gronk has been injured pretty much all season, and will be missing out on the Super Bowl when his New England Patriots take on the Atlanta Falcons.
