When the lockout ends at some point in the next week, don’t be surprised if New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski receives a talking to from Bill Belichick and his front office cohorts.

The above frat boy centric picture was tweeted to supermodel Kate Upton.

To dispel any confusion, the 19-year-old Upton is highly attractive but you probably knew that just as Mr. Gronkowski does.

Not to be outdone, Gronkowski’s brother tweeted a slightly similar clownish pic to Upton.

This all seems to stem from the following tweet Gronkowski sent to Upton on her birthday last month:

Anyhow, I suspect this is not the Patriot Way that guys like Tedy Bruschi and Rodney Harrison glowingly talked about for years.

Unless of course, using a furniture piece as a phallic symbol was covered during training camp last year.
