-- We still don’t know what Rob Gronkowski will be doing next season, but, thanks to a CBS Sports reporter, we know what he did for St. Patrick’s Day.
Gronkowski celebrated by dressing up as a leprechaun and crashing John Breech’s bachelor party at Nashville’s Germantown Depot.
I think Rob Gronkowski just crashed my bachelor party in disguise. Not sure if he's going to retire, but said he could be playing for the "69ers" next season. I love my job. I love Gronk. #Patriots pic.twitter.com/ySWLHhjuJN

March 17, 2018 “I'm drinking at my bachelor party, so roll with this as you will... but Gronk was in the booth next to me at a bar, told a Patriots fan he WASN'T retiring. My dad (all-time leading scorer for Bengals) talked to him. Told him I was media, said TBD on retirement,” Breech posted in a follow-up tweet.
Gronkowski also allegedly told fans he isn’t sure about his status for next season with the Patriots but joked, in classic fashion, he will play for “the 69ers.”
Should have told you he was on the way. Hope you had a good time. pic.twitter.com/hStD9d7Rem

March 18, 2018 -- Glen “Big Baby” Davis refuted his drug arrest in an Instagram video this weekend while eating Popeyes surrounded by wads of cash on a private jet.
The video has since been deleted from his page but was saved by media outlets.
The former Celtic was arrested on seven drug charges in Baltimore on February 7 after police reportedly found a “briefcase that contained $92,164 of U.S. currency along with a ledger that contained language which is consistent with someone involved in the sale and distribution of narcotics."
QUOTE OF THE DAY: "I don't know velocity-wise what it was, but it was carrying through and it was getting on them quick. That's what I look for, the four-seam, the way it's coming out of my hand. It was coming out good. . . . This is the first day I've really gotten after it. I threw a bullpen the other day where I was just kind of moving. Today I actually started firing them in there. I felt great. I felt normal." --
