We know Rob Gronkowski can drink like a tremendous machine, but there's a chance we'll be treated to Gronkowski moving like a tremendous machine in May at the Kentucky Derby.

If you feel like there's some kind of correlation between the two—good hunch. Of course, yes, people can name their horses whatever, but it's pretty hilarious why the owner of Gronkowski decided to name the horse Gronkowski. Per The Racing Post:
Just imagine this guy, pounding a dozen mint juleps and spending a season's salary on this beast's chances of beating out other beasts.Kerri Radcliffe, Phoenix Thoroughbred's racing manager and bloodstock agent for the northern hemisphere, said: "I love the New England Patriots and as Rob Gronkowski is six-five and about the same wide I thought it would be an appropriate name for the horse as he's built much the same."
Only one thing left to be said:Giddyup.
