The focal point of Week 4 is obviously Tom Brady's return to Foxborough for the first time in a non-Patriots uniform, especially seeing as there's some extra drama floating around thanks to excerpts from Seth Wickersham's new book.
But in pretty much any other scenario, the return of a future Hall of Fame tight end — who may have been the most dominant to ever play the position — to his former home would be the headline of the week. And so we shouldn't discount the fact that Rob Gronkowski, the Patriots' franchise leader in receiving touchdowns (79), is also making his way back. ESPN's Mike Reiss made sure not to do so, interviewing the 32-year-old about the things he loved about being in New England — and the things he won't miss so much.
What he missed most about New England wasn't what you might expect:
Going to the Celtics games. They would hook us up, front row. Just to go check out an NBA game, being right there on the court, was always really cool.

...And what he doesn't miss isn't all that surprising, especially considering his current environment down in Tampa Bay:
The crapy, 'in between' weather. When it's about 40 degrees, and raining, and cloudy. ... it just throws everything off and feels eerie.
