AROUND THE WEB:
-- Rob Gronkowski was part of this year's New Year's Eve broadcast on FOX and Steve Harvey probably wishes he wasn't.
Harvey was presented with a bust of his likeness made entirely out of Legos and was thrilled, calling it "slick."
But then along came Gronkowski.
Gronk picked up the bust at the end of the show and spiked it into the ground, smashing it to pieces. And viewers noticed Harvey looked crushed.

— BOSTON™ (@BoucherMitch) January 1, 2020-- Antonio Brown worked out with the Saints last week but then said on Instagram Live this week he believes the move was a "publicity stunt."
AB says the Saints bringing him in for a workout was a "publicity stunt" and Sean Payton knows "the film that being left behind" pic.twitter.com/C3ddwacfv4

"But I think it was a publicity stunt for them. Sean Payton know the feeling of being left behind, not being able to interact with his team. I don't have a team. It is what it is."
And one person had a good idea:
What if everyone on Twitter blocked this guy----

That will all take care of itself the way I have taken care of my business on the field and off the field. It will all sort itself out. For me, it's about playing football and winning this game -- just like everybody else in this locker room." -- Kyle Van Noy, on if this is his final season with the Patriots
