It seems that Gronk is being compared to one of the biggest legends of the NFL. NFL fans broke out their own humor muscles after Gronk messed up a simple name. He ended up entirely mispronounced the Eagles’ offensive coordinator. As per Avi Meirov’s tweet, Gronk mispronounced Shane Steichen’s last name.
However, Gronk ended up saying something along the lines of ‘Shane Spikeman’. After he absolutely butchered the Eagles’ OC’s name, fans were very quick to express how hilarious the error actually was. One fan was convinced that Gronk was the second coming of Terry Bradshaw.
He’s the new Terry Bradshaw.

There were also comments on who Gronk should work for instead of being a serious analyst.
Gronk is working for the wrong company. His personality would fit perfectly with Barstool Sports or The Pat McAfee show. His personality is hiding behind that suit

There were several other Bradshaw comparisons.
The FOX broadcast needs a little life and maybe the self deprecating humor of Gronk is what it needs. It’s an approach that’s worked for Bradshaw. 🤷🏼♂️ IMHO
