Bucs Rub Rob Gronkowski Trade in Patriots Fans Faces With Perfect Tweet of Tom Brady and Gronk
By Jerry Trotta
Pretty much every football fan outside of New England and the NFC South is drooling over the fact that Rob Gronkowski has elected to come out of retirement to reunite with Tom Brady on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The addition of the Pro Bowl tight end changes everything for the Bucs as the rapport he and Brady share is second to none. Tampa Bay is clearly aware of that fact and the team flexed on the rest of the NFL with a perfect tweet of Brady and Gronk.
RIP every Patriots fan.
On top of the smug facial expressions of the reunited teammates, P-Diddy's hit single "Bad Boys for Life" really completes this clip.

The video, of course, followed the Patriots' victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2019 AFC Championship Game. You might remember TB12 famously chanting "We're still here," after New England's sixth Super Bowl title a few weeks later.
The 42-year-old might not be in Foxborough anymore, but he's definitely still kicking and he'll now welcome the most prolific pass catcher he's ever played with on the Bucs.
Brady and Gronk connected on 78 touchdowns across their nine seasons in New England. That tally is good for twice as many as the three-time MVP has thrown to any other player. Randy Moss (39) and Julian Edelman (36) rank second and third.
When you think about it, Tampa Bay really had no other choice but to showcase its two newest superstars.
