Rob Gronkowski is having a big game for the New England Patriots against the Chicago Bears. He has nine receptions for 149 yards and three touchdowns, and my fantasy football team is being carried by him right now.
But Gronkowski left the game early because of dehydration, ending his dominant run in the game.
Gronk to the locker room with dehydration. Return questionable. #patriotstalk

One of Gronkowski’s three touchdowns was a huge 46-yard reception where he threw aside one Bear defender and dragged another into the end zone. That play alone is probably partially responsible for his dehydration.
Of course I wasn’t the only one seeing the opportunity for jokes about him leaving the game.
#Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski had dehydration and return is questionable. Insert your own one liner here.

And did they ever insert those one-liners.
He ate too much. RT @cpriceNFL Gronk (dehydration) return is questionable.

Press box announcement: Rob Gronkowski is return questionable with "dehydration." Sucking the life out of Chicago's D must be salty.
