How to watch UFC 278 with Rob Gronkowski and family on commentary instead of Joe Rogan

The entire Gronkowski family, breaking down fights live in your living room. And probably talking about energy drinks.

If the idea of a Kamaru Usman title fight isn’t enough to sell you on buying the UFC 278 pay-per-view, ESPN is throwing in an extra sweetener. For one glorious night, you can mute Joe Rogan at cageside and opt for alternative commentary instead.

The kind of alternative commentary you might hear on, say, a party bus. Or a party cruise. Any kind of party that might be crashed by a golden retriever transformed into a 6-foot-6 future Hall of Fame tight end by a hammered warlock.

That’s right, instead of the ManningCast, ESPN is giving UFC 278 the GronkCast. No fewer than six Gronkowskis, headlined by former Patriot and Buccaneer Rob, will be breaking down the card on ESPN+.

It’s not the UFC’s first foray into celebrity commentary. The company unveiled a “SnoopCast” pairing Snoop Dogg with Hall of Famer Urijah Faber for Dana White’s Contender Series fights back in 2017. Snoop’s contributions, as possibly expected, were mostly nonsense. That sets a low bar the Gronks can likely clear, even if their commentary degrades into party bus etiquette or ranking Arby’s sandwiches.

For Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski ‘it’s go time’

Bucs QB Tom Brady and TE Rob Gronkowski are ready to begin the next chapters of their NFL careers.

Buccaneers players are returning to the facility today for the start of training camp, which will be all about testing for COVID-19 in the beginning days.

For new Bucs Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski, this camp marks the beginning of a new chapter in both their careers.

Brady left the New England Patriots after 20 years and six Super Bowl rings, while Gronk came out of his one-year retirement to reunite with Brady in Tampa, hoping to get the franchise back to the playoffs for the first time since 2007.

Gronk took to Twitter today to show his excitement for his Bucs voyage, and Brady was right there ready to support him.

Take a look.

This is going to be a fun season.

Rob Gronkowski gifts a fan ‘for checking me out all these years’

Bucs TE Rob Gronkowski surprised an employee at Stop & Shop with a gift as a big thank you for years of service.

Rob Gronkowski is coming to Tampa Bay after the Buccaneers acquired him from the New England Patriots and lured him out of retirement to reunite with Tom Brady.

But Gronk still has lots of love for New England, evident by his recent trip to local firehouses to hand out masks during the coronavirus pandemic. Now, the future Hall of Famer is gifting a fan and employee at his nearby Stop & Shop grocery store with a little thank you gift in a way that only Gronk can.

Take a look.

New England just won’t be the same without Gronkowski.

Training camp for the Buccaneers will begin next month, but for new quarterback Tom Brady, that’s not good enough.

Despite social distancing rules that have kept the Bucs’ team facility on lockdown, the new Bucs quarterback has managed to hit the field at a local Tampa prep school recently with some of his teammates.

Today, we got another look at Brady and his mates, this time from the sky, working out together at Berkeley Prep. And, wouldn’t you know it, even Rob Gronkowski got in on the action.

Rob Gronkowski has a grooming question that might make fans uncomfortable

Bucs TE Rob Gronkowski took to Instagram to solicit some grooming advice from fans.

Another day, another classic Gronk moment.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end has been a source of social media joy during this time of quarantine ever since he unretired to reunite with Tom Brady in Tampa.

The newest game show star has been putting in some offseason training at home, while also welcoming a new friend into his life — Mr. Stache.

Today, Gronkowski took to his Instagram story to show off his latest haircut (and stache), while also seeking grooming advice from fans.

Take a look.

I’ll let Gronk call an audible on that one.

It’s all about trampolines and dogs for Gronk

Bucs TE Rob Gronkowski is looking for ways to stay fit at home.

Rob Gronkowski, the newest television star thanks to the CBS show “Game On!”, is preparing for the 2020 NFL season after coming out of retirement to join Tom Brady with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Gronk, like other NFL players this offseason, has had to find ways to workout at home due to the coronavirus pandemic. The All-Pro tight end played a little hoops the other day in his driveway, and now, he’s enjoying some time on the trampoline and working out by petting a dog.

Take a look at these screenshots from Gronk’s Instagram story.

Drake the dog also had fun hanging out with Gronk and his girlfriend, Camille Kostek.

Gronk is ready for a little ‘Game On!’ action tonight

Rob Gronkowski will be hitting your TV screens soon with CBS’ new show “Game On!”

Rob Gronkowski wasn’t just sitting around a pool during his one-year retirement from the NFL (although I’m sure there was plenty of that). The new Bucs tight end, who ended his retirement to reunite with Tom Brady in Tampa, was also filming a show called “Game On!,” which will pit him and other celebrities, including tennis legend Venus Williams, against each other.

Gronk’s big game show premiere is tonight, and the future Hall of Famer has been hyping it up on his Instagram lately. Take a look.

Gronk finally puts on a Bucs shirt for his driveway workout

Take a look at Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski rocking some Bucs gear while playing hoops in his driveway.

Bucs TE Rob Gronkowski took to Instagram recently to share his experience handing out masks to different fire departments in New England. As part of his fire department tour, the former Patriot donned a Pats shirt at the Foxborough Fire Department.

If that rubbed Bucs fans the wrong way, don’t worry. The future Hall of Famer posted a few videos to Instagram just now showing him working out in the driveway playing some hoops. And, if you look closely, you can see him wearing a Bucs shirt.

Take a look at a few screenshots below.

And he has shorts that match his shirt. Good man.

Gronk is wearing a Patriots shirt again, but for a good cause

Bucs TE Rob Gronkowski posted a picture of himself wearing a Patriots shirt on Instagram, but there’s a good reason why he did it.

Rob Gronkowski came out of retirement to reunite with his old quarterback Tom Brady after the Buccaneers pulled off a trade with the New England Patriots for the tight end.

Gronk is arguably the best to ever play the position, and while he may be coming to Tampa to play, he still has a lot of love for the New England region, where he spent the first nine years of his career.

The tight end and his girlfriend Camille Kostek went around yesterday delivering masks to fire departments in and around Boston, including the Foxborough Fire Department.

Take a look at some screenshots from Gronk’s Instagram story, where he even puts on a Patriots shirt and hops in a Patriots fire truck. All for a good cause.

Don’t worry, Bucs fans, he’s still yours. There’s plenty of Gronk to go around.

Tom Brady ‘locked in on a 2020 upswing’

Gil Brandt of NFL.com believes Tom Brady is poised for a big year with the Buccaneers.

The Buccaneers had the NFL’s third-best offense last season, but finished just 7-9 thanks in large part to the erratic season Jameis Winston had under center. The former first overall pick threw for 5,109 yards, 33 touchdowns and 30 interceptions. Despite some believing Winston would have a bounce-back year in 2020, the Bucs opted instead to sign Tom Brady.

Brady, himself, is coming off a subpar 2019 campaign, at least by his standards, throwing for 4,057 yards, 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions. Now that he’s looking to start fresh in Tampa, NFL.com’s Gil Brandt listed Brady as one of seven players poised to play better in 2020.

Per Brandt:

“I’m more interested in seeing whether Brady’s mediocre 2019 performance stemmed more from an age-related drop-off, a lack of top-tier talent at receiver and tight end or an offensive approach by coordinator Josh McDaniels that didn’t feature the kind of complementary running game that helped ease the team’s march to a sixth Super Bowl title two seasons ago. Brady won’t have to worry about skill-position talent in Tampa, with Rob Gronkowski emerging from retirement to join prolific wideouts Mike Evans and Chris Godwin and tight ends Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard. The quarterback is obviously entering uncharted waters as he prepares to play a season at age 43…. We all know who will ultimately win the battle between Tom and time. But I get the feeling Brady will put up a much better showing in 2020 than he did last year.”

I don’t think anyone will be surprised if Brady has a big year. The way this guy plays with a chip on his shoulder, he’ll want to prove to everyone he still has what it takes to win, and doesn’t need to be in New England to do it.
