Just like Tom Brady was the perfect teammate for Rob Gronkowski during his NFL career, Michael Strahan and Terry Bradshaw have become his closest pals at Fox Network. I mean when Rob traded his cleats for a mic, we all wondered—could the party-loving, touchdown-catching tight end really shine as a broadcaster? Spoiler alert: he absolutely crushed it. And he’s doing the same job just like he did with the Patriots and the Buccaneers. But there is more to Rob than meets the eye. Beyond his public persona, the NFL legend has a kind-hearted side that often goes unnoticed. Just a day ago, Terry called out Rob during their show on the Bills-Ravens game. And Rob’s reaction after this is just a masterclass in humanity and teamwork.

During the Bills-Ravens, Gronk shared his take on why he believes the Ravens will win the game. His response was brimming with passion and enthusiasm. “I’m going with the Baltimore Ravens because of running back Derrick Henry. The Baltimore Ravens have one of the best defenses over the last six weeks. They are peaking at the right time,” Gronkowski said.

Excited Rob then shouted, “What wins games in the cold weather? Running the football and playing great football,” which did not sit well with 76-year-old Bradshaw. “Why are you shouting?” Terry asked. Although Rob ended this segment with group laughter when he said, “I’m just excited because it’s playoff football,” it is his Instagram story that is winning everyone’s hearts.

To celebrate yet another chapter of the broadcasting book, Gronk took a moment to reflect on his time with the FOX crew.

“Another great session in the @nflonfox studio in the books! On the road next,” he wrote in a heartfelt Instagram story as he shared some moments with Bradshaw, Strahan, and the rest of the crew. A simple message, sure, but one packed with gratitude and respect for his co-hosts. The farewell isn’t limited to their NFL career. The way these personalities keep us glued to our screen during the game days is equally phenomenal.

And let’s talk about these personalities, shall we? The Steelers‘ legend, Bradshaw, the former quarterback-turned-entertainer, has been helming the broadcasting world for decades. Then there’s Strahan, the sack king of his time, who somehow found a way to dominate both the NFL and the morning talk show scene. And their job along with Gronkowski? The trio has successfully turned every NFL Sunday into a mix of expert analysis and laugh-out-loud moments.

As the NFL heat shifts towards the Championship round and the Super Bowl, Rob Gronkowski’s heartfelt message serves as a nod to the conclusion of another season with Fox. Well, it’ll be amazing to find out about their future ventures during the season.

Gronkowski's broadcasting magic: Is he the best NFL player-turned-broadcaster we've seen?

Have an interesting take?

The Eagles took a flight once again and thrashed out the Rams from the divisional round to secure their NFC Championship spot. On the other hand, another setback for Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens as the Buffalo Bills clinched a thrilling win and made ways to the AFC Championship game. That said, the FOX has wrapped up broadcasting the season. Seems like Gronkowski and Co. are now free agents for the next round of the league.

But what are they gonna do now? Of course, they’re gonna witness the road to the Super Bowl, starting with the Eagles and the Commanders. Gronk shared some glimpses of his further moves in his Instagram story. “The dudes are headed to Philly..,” he wrote. Wanna guess who are the dudes? Besides Gronk, his three-time Super Bowl champion mate, Julian Edelman, is gonna accompany him for the much-awaited clash between the Eagles and the Commanders.

Gronk received a nod from his mate as he replied on his Instagram story with, “Catch us at the Linc…” It appears Gronk and Edelman are sorted for the next week. But what about Bradshaw? Well, he’s got another gig besides his broadcasting career and, of course, making people laugh with that insane sense of humor.

That other gig? Bet you might have heard of it. The Steelers’ legend is ready for “The Terry Bradshaw Show” in Branson, Missouri this year. Now, whether he’s gonna continue entertaining us with his electrifying broadcasting or with his music career, one thing’s certain: fans are in for a treat.
