Overview
- During last Sunday’s Fox NFL Sunday broadcast, Rob Gronkowski named Trey McBride the NFL’s best tight end and Terry Bradshaw immediately asked, “What about McBride?,” a moment that quickly went viral.
- Gronkowski told Front Office Sports that he believes Bradshaw intentionally staged the line to “throw us off,” and Bradshaw has publicly called the moment a planned setup.
- The clip drew on‑air corrections and laughter from hosts including Curt Menefee and Michael Strahan and spread widely on social media with a post from Awful Announcing reaching millions of views.
- Coverage has used McBride’s 2025 breakout season (126 catches for 1,239 yards and 11 touchdowns) and his early‑2026 usage to support Gronkowski’s claim that McBride ranks among the league’s top tight ends.
- The episode has renewed attention on Bradshaw’s on‑air persona and past lapses while colleagues have defended Gronkowski’s football intelligence, leaving no reported personnel changes but signaling continued public scrutiny of the show.
