Tom Brady helped Rob Gronkowski enhance his backside line Sunday, however that doesn’t imply it banked him a dinner invite.
Throughout Monday’s episode of his “Let’s Go!” podcast on SiriusXM, the Buccaneers quarterback opened up about not making the visitor record for Gronkowski’s postgame celebrations, even after doing his half to make sure the tight finish would earn $1 million in incentives from Tampa Bay’s Week 18 win over Carolina.
“I don’t know, man. That’s OK. I do know what he eats. Let’s simply say it’s not alongside the rules of TB12 so he can have his dinner with out me,” Brady mentioned.
Gronkowski unlocked two $500,000 bonuses in Tampa Bay’s season finale this previous weekend. He wanted to hit 55 receptions and 750 receiving yards for the season, in accordance with Spotrac, and completed the 12 months with 55 catches and 802 yards.
“He’s superb, I imply, what he’s achieved this 12 months,” Brady mentioned of Gronkowski. “He simply, the man’s an unbelievable participant, he’s an ideal teammate, and I believe what he does day in and time out to arrange himself is what blows me away. I believe he’s the best tight finish in NFL historical past. What he does within the run sport, the go sport, the sort of teammate he's, he’s superb.”
Brady was seen barking at his coaches and forcing his manner again into the sport, although it was out of hand, to make sure his longtime buddy cashed in. As quickly as Gronkowski reached the 55-catch mark, Brady exited for backup Blaine Gabbert.
Following the 41-17 win, Gronkowski, 32, joked that he was going to take his teammates to dinner, sans Brady. The 44-year-old quarterback responded Monday by saying he’d deal with his offensive lineman to a elaborate meal as a substitute.
“I’m going to take my linemen out as a result of these guys balled out all 12 months. Possibly I’m going to take them to Morton’s and get them a pleasant steak as a result of these boys deserve it. These guys had a hell of a 12 months. Tristan [Wirfs], Alex Cappa, [Ryan] Jensen, Donnie [Smith], and Ali Marpet, man, these guys balled out,” Brady continued Monday. “Gronk can have his dinner with all his tight ends. I’m going out with the o-linemen. Sorry, Gronk, I’m going to overlook you. Simply be sure you’re not out too late.”
With the Buccaneers now chasing back-to-back Tremendous Bowl titles, their focus is a wild-card win on Sunday at residence in opposition to the Eagles.
