Rob Gronkowski is no longer our sneaky choice for MVP. In fact, when the Patriots Super Bowl chances collapse in on themselves because he decided to hang out with Justin Bieber at the Clippers game on Monday night, he probably deserves to be cut by Bill Belichick.

We're only halfway kidding: remember when the Biebs showed up at a prayer breakfast some Steelers were hosting?

It was a "please allow me to introduce myself" moment and the Steelers went from hottest team in the NFL (Ben Roethlisberger threw 12 touchdowns in two games) to losing at home to the Jets. The curse of the Biebs strikes again and yet Gronk think he's above it.

If there was someone who could shrug off Bieber's Beelzebub-like powers, it's Gronk. But if something bad happens to him or Tom Brady this week, you know who to blame.
