Whenever a team is as successful as the New England Patriots, there is one story everyone wants to break. Everyone wants to be the one that finds the kink in the armor. Several stories came out during the playoff run. It looks like another one is developing involving Rob Gronkowski and his alleged use of Tom Brady’s TB12 training methods.
It seems that Mark Daniels of the Providence Journal wrote a piece in late January about Gronkowski using some of Tom Brady TB12 training methods. Why is that a big deal now?
Well, Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk started putting some of the pieces together, and it sounds like the team’s issues with Brady’s trainer, Ale Guerrero, may have played a role in Gronkowski’s unhappiness this past year.
Daniels about some of the methods Guerrero promotes that Gronkowski used in the last year and how well they worked. But for some reason, the Patriots didn’t want him to print the story.
He shared that tidbit on Twitter Monday, weeks after he wrote his original story.
“Gronk agreed to talk to me about his new diet, and when the Pats found out, they told me it couldn’t happen. But since Gronk really wanted to talk about it, he did. In the end, I still got a 1400-word feature out of it, but it was annoying how the Pats tried to stop the story,” Daniels wrote.
It’s interesting, and it paints the Patriots front office in a bad light. But why did he wait until now to share this information? What does he hope to gain by doing so? Is he just interested in never getting press credentials approved for another Patriots event for the rest of his career?
The information is interesting, but why not include it in the original story over a month ago? Not doing so, doesn’t make sense which makes him sharing it now seem a little bit fishy.
