Take The Rob Gronkowski Party-Headline Quiz

There have been a great many headlines since the Super Bowl containing the words "Gronkowski" and "Party." Can you tell which ones are real?

It's tempting to say that Rob Gronkowski, America's Most Shirtless Football Player, deserves to party after his contributions to the Patriots' win in Super Bowl XLIX. Tempting, and correct, but also incomplete: Rob Gronkowski deserves to party in the same way that condors deserve to soar over the Grand Canyon or lions deserve to stalk the savanna or Nancy Grace deserves to be extremely angry—it is more of a birthright, a fulfillment of earthly purpose, than it is a thing deserved or undeserved. When he parties, which he is almost certainly doing as you read this, Gronk is simply doing what the good lord put him on earth to do.

What he will do over the next few months, and has done in the hours since the end of Super Bowl XLIX, will not change the way that we think about Large Format Public Partying. Gronkowski is not about to change the rules of how big, goofy famous people party. But he will find the outermost boundaries on every side, and then he will pour tequila until it is sloshing up against those boundaries, and then he will float around on the tequila lake he has created, bobbing around on a pool raft, wearing comically oversized sunglasses and surrounded by like a dozen jarringly tan women, all of whom will be named Kaycii. This is not a metaphor. This will literally happen.

It has not happened yet, though: Gronk's long summer has just begun. Your challenge, below, is to separate the headlines that Gronkowski has already made from the ones that he has not yet made. The answers are below, although they will of course change in the months ahead, as Gronkowski works on making them all true.
