Rob Gronkowski is ready for just about anything the “Fox NFL Sunday” crew throws his way, even fake segments about fictional football players.
That’s what happened to the four-time Super Bowl champ during a previous day on the job, with the pregame team recapping Sunday how they pranked Gronkowski into discussing a non-existent Cowboys tight end named Rich Russo.
“He thought we were going live with an extra segment. Everybody at Fox knows this is not real — except for Gronk,” Fox NFL insider Jay Glazer explained. “The premise was, I was going to ‘break news’ that the Cowboys were activating this great Pro Bowl tight end who doesn’t exist and Gronk has to go on what he thinks is live TV to talk about this tight end.”
