Rob Gronkowski shocked the football world about a month ago when he decided to come out of retirement. He was eventually traded from the New England Patriots to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers where he will be reunited with his one and only quarterback, Tom Brady. Fans are extremely excited about his comeback and the consensus is that the Buccaneers are primed and ready for a playoff run.
Recently, Gronkowski was interviewed by Ellen Degeneres where he was asked about his decision to come back to the NFL. As he explained, Brady had a little bit to do with it although it ultimately came down to wanting to be closer to his family.
“You know, everyone keeps asking me ‘Did Tom (Brady) get you to Tampa?’” Gronkowski told Ellen. “Well, of course it didn’t hurt that Tom went to Tampa, you know, and the opportunity to go to Tampa was there too. But you know, Tom was like the appetizer, and then there’s a few other reasons. I love the weather. But the main course, the main reason why I came down to Tampa to play is because my mother live two hours away. She can get to all the games, all eight of our home games. Whenever I have days off, she’s two hours down the street and I get to see her. So she’s super excited.”
It remains to be seen whether or not Brady and Gronk can relive the magic of New England although we're sure they will be entertaining regardless.

Rob Gronkowski Has Hilarious Thoughts About WWE Title Defense
Rob Gronkowski is coming back to the NFL but that won’t stop him from competing in the WWE.
Rob Gronkowski is one of the NFL’s most colorful characters and this season, he will be coming out of retirement to play with Tom Brady on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. During his brief retirement, Gronkowski kept himself occupied with various projects, including a stint in the WWE. Just last month, Gronk won the 24/7 title at WrestleMania and now, it’s up in the air whether or not he will ever get another WWE fight.
During a podcast with his brother Chris, Gronkowski expressed interest in defending his 24/7 title and noted that he has no clue how it would go down. Gronk had some pretty funny theories of how it could all go down; theories that included his new head coach, Bruce Arians.
“Imagine coming out of the meeting room, I’m like looking to my left down the hallway … looking to my right to make sure no one is out of the meetings yet, and then all of a sudden … Coach Arians just comes out of nowhere with a flying elbow and takes me out and pins me and becomes the 24/7 champ. That would be legendary. That would be an honor to lose to him,” Gronkowski said.
Balancing a career in the NFL and a WWE title is going to be very hard but if anyone can do it, it would most certainly be Gronk.

Tom Brady & Rob Gronkowski Receive Message From Tampa Bay Mayor
Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski are the latest additions to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Heading into the offseason, Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans probably had no idea that they would be in for one of the best free agency periods in the franchise's history. It all started when Tom Brady signed a two-year, $50 million contract with the squad. Then, just this week, the team made a trade with the New England Patriots to acquire none other than Rob Gronkowski who has decided to come out of retirement.
Needless to say, fans are very excited about this, including Jane Castor who is the mayor of Tampa Bay. Today, she issued a letter on her Twitter account which is addressed to the two new faces of the franchise. As you can tell, Castor is over the moon about having this quarterback-tight end duo in her city.
"Thanks again for choosing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and, in turn, our beloved city. This is a very exciting time and we look forward to welcoming you with (virtual) open arms. A proper Tampa welcome will have to wait for a while," Castor said in her letter.
Castor went on to address Gronk's partying ways and how she can't wait for him to experience the city's Gasparilla Pirate Invasion and Parade.
Clearly, Gronk and Brady are receiving a grand welcome and their chase for a Super Bowl will begin as of this Fall.
Rob Gronkowski Pens Emotional Goodbye To New England
Rob Gronkowski was recently traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Rob Gronkowski retired from football back in 2019 but there was always this feeling that he would eventually come out to run it back with Tom Brady, one last time. Gronk had been teasing a return to the NFL and this week, he was traded from the New England Patriots to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now, he will be joining Brady in Florida where they have a chance to do some serious damage in the NFC South.
As a way to pay tribute to the Patriots fans who supported him over the years, Gronk took to his Instagram where he penned a lengthy goodbye message. Gronk explains just how important New England is to him and how he will forever love those who run the organization.
Per Gronk:
“First and foremost, I want to thank the Patriots Organization for everything over the last 10 years. Without Mr. Kraft and Coach Belichick taking a chance on me in the 2010 draft, I wouldn’t be sitting here in this position in life, THANK YOU both as well my former teammates for everything over the years.
New England Patriot Fans, you guys have been nothing but amazing. I love you guys and appreciate your constant support for me big time over the last 10 years (even during retirement). THANK YOU all so much, the memories are incredible.”
While Patriots fans might be sad to see Gronk go, they can take solace in the fact that he helped them win three championships. Those numbers certainly soften the blow.

Earlier that same day, the Patriots traded Gronkowski to the Buccaneers, reuniting him with Tom Brady yet again. Last March, Gronkowski announced his retirement after nine seasons. In a recent conversation with Fox Sports the 30-year-old alluded to his possible comeback to the NFL, stating, “I always said when I have that feeling, and it feels right, I will be ready to take the field again. And I have that feeling. I’m ready.”
After retiring back in 2019, Gronkowski partnered with a CBD company and joined Fox as a sports analyst along with WWE.
Former Patriots cheerleader, Kostek, along with boyfriend Gronkowski have been doing their part during the coronavirus pandemic and recently donated 20,000 masks to medical centers in both New Jersey and Massachusetts.

Patriots & Buccaneers Finalize Rob Gronkowski Trade
Rob Gronkowski is going to be reunited with Tom Brady.
Rob Gronkowski retired back in 2019 but he still had a couple of years left on his contract with the New England Patriots. The Patriots kept his contract on the books just in case he decided to come back. However, Gronkowski always made it clear that he would never play with a quarterback other than Tom Brady. Well, now, Brady is with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and it just so happens that Gronk wants to play again. Put two and two together and you quickly realize that for Gronk to go to Tampa Bay, the Patriots would have to trade him. Today, that's exactly what they did.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Patriots are sending Gronk and a seventh-round pick to Tampa Bay in exchange for a fourth-rounder.
Earlier today, we reported on how Gronk was keeping his options open for a come back although no one expected news like this to come so soon. Regardless, it will be fun to see Brady and Gronk back on the same field together when the season starts in September.
If you're a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan, this latest news should be music to your ears. Meanwhile, fans of other NFC South teams must be fuming.
Alas, such is life.
Rob Gronkowski Trade Elicits Massive Social Media Reaction
Rob Gronkowski was traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Twitter had a lot to say about the matter.
Yesterday, no one thought Rob Gronkowski was ever going to step foot on another football field. For the past year, Gronk has been educating fans on what he went through in terms of injuries and how it took a huge toll on his body. However, today, it was reported that Gronk was actually thinking of making a comeback. Just minutes ago, it was reported that Gronk was officially returning to the NFL and he would be doing so as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The New England Patriots sent Gronk and a seventh-rounder to the Bucs in exchange for a fourth-round pick. Now, Gronkowski will be reunited with the man he won six Super Bowls with, Tom Brady.
As you can imagine, hoards of people took to social media after the news broke. NFL fans were shocked to hear that Gronk was going to come out of retirement and they were even more surprised to see that a trade was involved. There also seems to be a lot of hyperbole as to how good the Buccaneers will be next season.
The brunt of the jokes were directed at Julian Edelman who will now be all alone on the Patriots without some of his best friends. As I say often on this website, such is life.
Check out some of the reactions to the news, below.
Rob Gronkowski Alludes To Possible NFL Comeback
Rob Gronkowski appears to be teasing fans with a possible return to the NFL.
Rob Gronkowski retired from the NFL in 2019 after he won his third Super Bowl with the New England Patriots. In the eyes of many, Gronkowski is the greatest tight end to ever play the game although unfortunately, injuries cut his career short. He only got to play ten years in the league before he had to shut it all down because of the toll the sport was taking on his body.
Over the past few months, there have been all sorts of rumors that Gronkowski might want to return to the NFL now that his body has healed. While Gronk is typically quick to shut down these rumors, it appears as though he is giving them some validity now. On a recent episode of "Watch What Happens Live," Gronk explained how he's feeling good and that anything is possible at this point.
"I'm feeling good right now, I'm happy where I'm at. You just never know, man," Gronkowski said. "You just never know. You never know. I'm not totally done."
There are certainly a plethora of teams out there who could benefit from Gronk's presence. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a team that comes to mind especially now that they have Tom Brady.
If Gronk does come back, let us know who you would want him to play for.
Rob Gronkowski Compares His Manhood To Tom Brady’s
Tom Brady recently complimented Rob Gronkowski on his private parts during an appears on the Howard Stern Show.
Every time I write about the New England Patriots, it feels like there are some real shenanigans going on. Perhaps, more than any other team in the NFL. It’s impossible to say why that is. Maybe it’s because the team was full of interesting characters. Or maybe it’s the fact that winning so many championships has made the players go kind of insane. Either way, if you put a mic in front of Tom Brady or Rob Gronkowski, you know something bizarre is going to be said. I mean, do we have to say more than the infamous swamp ass revelation?
This time around, Brady made sure to compliment Gronk’s penis on an episode of The Howard Stern Show. In fact, he called it “amazing.” Well, Gronk heard these compliments and addressed them on Andy Cohen’s “Watch What Happens Live.” Unfortunately for Brady, Gronk wasn’t as complimentary. Sorry Patriots fans, I know you guys really wanted it to be better.
“No, not as nice as mine. I mean, the guy didn’t flock it as much as I did,” Gronk said. Clearly, the legendary tight end is very protective of the status of his manhood and would never bestow such a compliment upon his fellow man.
As for myself, well, I fully expect the roast session in the comments and I look forward to reading all of it.
Rob Gronkowski Infiltrates WrestleMania 36 & Wins 24/7 Title
Rob Gronkowski is already making huge waves in the world of wrestling and WrestleMania served as the catalyst.
Rob Gronkowski is an entertainer, plain and simple. While playing for the New England Patriots, Gronk cemented himself as one of the greatest tight ends to ever play the game. He was also a massive party animal who loved to have fun and make jokes at his own expense. Add in his physique and you're left with a man who was made for the WWE. Athletes from other sports have gotten into wrestling before so Gronk's recent exploits with "The Company" shouldn't come as that much of a surprise.
Last night, was the fanless WrestleMania 36 that everyone was anticipating. Considering the fact no one was in the stands, it ended up being a fantastic event with a lot of risks being taken. One of those risks involved Gronk who was acting as a ringside reporter in the 24/7 match. While looking at the carnage below, Gronk jumped off of a small balcony and took out every single wrestler on the floor.
From there, he got off a pin and was crowned the 24/7 champion. To think, Gronkowski won another championship before Belichick or Brady. If this doesn't signify the end of the Patriots dynasty, we don't know what does.
As for Gronkowski's foray into WWE, we can be sure to expect a lot more from him in the future.
