New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski hosted SportsCenter earlier today. Well, maybe "hosted" is a strong word. He anchored for a few minutes, and I found myself wondering if it was suddenly going to be a "This Is SportsCenter" commercial.

It didn’t even take until the Monday after Super Bowl XLVI for a lot of people to change their minds about the New York Giants and the legacy of the New England Patriots.
