I think Tom Brady might be happy to have Rob Gronkowski. Is it unusual for a man to demonstrate his affection by slapping the utter p–s out of the guy?

Tom doesn’t care. Tom is so thrilled to be throwing touchdowns to Gronk again, he just can’t contain himself. He turns into a slap-happy lunatic in his excitement.

There are some who might say it’s probably not a great idea to go smacking a guy who is as injury-prone as Gronk, but I think we can let this one go.

Tom’s just excited. Anyway, Tom probably doesn’t hit that hard. Plus Gronk is wearing a helmet.

If Gronk’s head can’t sustain a few playful slaps from pretty boy Tom Brady, he doesn’t have much chance of staying healthy in the NFL with giant defensive players trying to tear his limbs off.

I’d be more worried about Tom tiring himself out. He’s no spring chicken anymore.

Next time, maybe a nice gentlemanly handshake. Possibly a butt tap. Maybe even a nice little cheek-rub, just to show that you really really care.

Leave the slapping for when things get kinky in the bedroom with Gisele.
