COMMENTARY
Rob Gronkowski sure made it an easier week for Bob Kraft.
While the Patriots deny there was anything other than blissful convenience in the timing of the future Hall of Fame tight end’s decision to call it a career on Sunday night, it didn’t hurt to have Gronk be the news everybody was talking about when Kraft landed in Arizona for the NFL owners meetings.
Alas, the Patriots owner did make headlines during the tail end of the junket in the desert Tuesday, when records revealed Kraft requested a jury trial in connection with the prostitution-related charges he’s facing in Florida.
