The Patriots don't play this weekend, and Bill Belichick's authoritarian grip on his players is apparently taking some in-season time off, too. Gronkowksi, the Patriots' rookie second-year tight end, reportedly went back to Arizona (where he played in college) to unwind, and by all indications he's having a swell time of it. Miss Jones tweeted this and one other photo of herself and the man she called her "favorite football player" sometime last night. It's getting around, much like Miss Jones, who earlier this week tweeted that she had just had "a lot of fun" with Paul Bissonnette of the NHL's Phoenix Coyotes. Gronkowski graduated from high school in suburban Pittsburgh, and the Patriots visit the Steelers next Sunday. If he gets to see any of his boys on the trip, they're likely going to have a lot of questions for him. [Larry Brown Sports; h/t to Peter]
