Overview
- On a recent Fox NFL Sunday segment Rob Gronkowski called Arizona’s Trey McBride the best tight end in the NFL and Terry Bradshaw immediately replied on air, “What about McBride?,” a clip that quickly went viral with wide social sharing.
- Rob Gronkowski told Front Office Sports that he believes Bradshaw intentionally “wanted to throw us off,” framing the moment as a deliberate bit rather than a simple lapse.
- Terry Bradshaw defended the exchange on air by calling it a setup to mess with his cohosts, and Fox teammates Curt Menefee, Howie Long and Michael Strahan responded in real time with corrections and laughter.
- The clip’s spread, which included a widely viewed post from Awful Announcing, amplified debate about whether Bradshaw’s recurring on‑air miscues are comic performance or signs of decline.
- Beyond the gag, coverage notes that Gronkowski’s praise rests on McBride’s breakout 2025 season (126 catches for 1,239 yards and 11 TDs) and that Bradshaw, 78, has said he does not plan to retire in the near term, with no Fox staffing changes reported.
