Rob Gronkowski expects text from Aqib Talib: “Should officials have thrown a flag on the fourth-down pass to Rob Gronkowski that fell incomplete late in Sunday’s AFC Championship Game? Gronkowski sure believes so.’’ (NESN.com)
Tom Brady isn’t sure he’ll even watch the Super Bowl: “Tom Brady isn’t going to Super Bowl 50. Heck, he may not even watch it.’’ (Boston.com)
Hanley Ramirez says first base is ‘easy’: “[John] Farrell believes spring training will be “ample’’ time for Ramirez to get acclimated. Then again, the Sox said the same thing about his move to left field. And while Ramirez’ transition might be eased by virtue of being a natural infielder — “It’s going to be easy,’’ he said — it’s more than fair to be skeptical.’’ (the Boston Herald)
