AROUND THE WEB:

-- It appears Rob Gronkowski’s “bands make her dance” tweets weren’t about money or the Patriots after all.

Mojo Rawley tweeted a video on Thursday with Gronkowski in a gym at “band camp,” referring to the resistance bands used to work out.

Earlier this month, Gronkowski tweeted “‘Bands a make her dance,’” causing some to believe he was referring to contract negotiations with the Patriots. He then followed up two weeks later with a “‘Bands a make her dance’ I repeat “Bands a make her dance” Aye Captain!!!” tweet.

-- It seems umpire Tom Hallion is already warmed up for the baseball season.

Hallion ejected five players from Thursday’s Spring Training game between the Phillies and Tigers, including Gabe Kapler, Phillies bench coach Rob Thomson, a Detroit pitcher and two Phillies pitchers.

Kapler, former Red Sox outfielder and current Phillies manager, was ejected for arguing the ejection of Philadelphia pitcher Parker Frazier for hitting a batter.

Before Frazier’s ejection, Hallion tossed Detroit’s Matt Boyd for hitting a batter. Philadelphia’s Pedro Beato was the final ejection after he hit a batter in the final inning.

The Phillies lost 6-2.
