Fox Sports’ NFL coverage on Sunday was full of gaffes and laughter.
The network’s $375 million analyst, Tom Brady, took a brutal indirect dig at former teammate Rob Gronkowski before the tight end went viral for the pronunciation of Emeka Egbuka’s name.
Brady took an indirect jab at Gronkowski with his praise of Hunter Henry@NFLonFoxFour of Brady’s seven Super Bowl victories came with Gronkowski, three as members of the New England Patriots and one when they were with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
However, that didn’t stop the legendary quarterback from giving the honor of being the Patriots’ greatest ever tight end to current star, Hunter Henry.
“I think he’s got great development being in that program, and just working with Josh McDaniels for as long as I did, he knows how to develop quarterbacks,” Brady said on Fox.
“He’s so good at getting guys in the right play, and right now Drake Maye’s playing with the greatest tight end in the history of the New England Patriots, Hunter Henry. I mean this guy is like, electric out there.”
The entire studio began laughing, with Terry Bradshaw exclaiming, “Shots fired!”
Brady then looked at Gronkowski and said, “You knew I was coming at you.”
Unfortunately for Gronkowski, the laughter took a while to simmer down, prompting him to say, “I’ll just keep taking my shots over here.”
It goes without saying that Gronkowski is the not only the Patriots’ greatest ever tight end, but arguably the NFL’s, too.
Some have argued that Chiefs superstar Travis Kelce challenges him for that title.
In 11 seasons, Gronkowski became a four-time First-Team All-Pro, a five-time Pro Bowler, and won four Super Bowl titles.

Gronkowski struggles with Emeka Egbuka’s name
The laughs on Sunday didn’t stop there as Gronkowski embarrassed himself trying to praise Emeka Egubka during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers‘s 38-35 victory over the Seattle Seahawks.
“You gotta give credit to this rookie sensation, wide receiver out of Ohio State, Emeka Egbigboo, going for over 100 yards,” he said, failing to say his name correctly.
As everyone laughed, the ex-tight end tried again.
“Emeka Egbuka, I’m getting confused!” he said before slamming Terry Bradshaw for his own pronunciation gaffes.
There was another broadcasting fail before Gronkowski’s mistake, too.
Michael Strahan hurt himself after Julian Edelman booted the ball at his face in what was meant to be a special teams demonstration on set.
The former defensive’s end was clocked so hard he even kneeled over and needed some time to compose himself.
