Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski are still as dominant outside of the field as they were on it. Both are retired but still have a great product. A viral video shared by the NFL on FOX on X account that shows the seven-time Super Bowl champ making a poor decision while confusing Gronkowski with another receiver, leading to an awkward and comical moment on national TV.

Santa Gronk was a bad boy and didn’t get a pass from Tom
In the video, Brady lines up for a promotional segment involving former teammates. Tom and Gronkowski are involved in it, after all; these two got over 90 touchdowns across their time with the Patriots and Buccaneers.
But the joke was on the quarterback, because the FOX crew dressed four people as Santa Claus, one of them, Gronk. The moment went crazy when all the talent, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, and Terry Bradshaw started to joke and laugh around the joke. The result? A throw that missed the target and was pretty much on the ground.
Fans on X quickly flooded the replies with jokes, with many pointing out that Brady spent two decades throwing to Gronk and still somehow managed to lose track of him. Others joked that Brady’s legendary accuracy must have finally retired-even if he hasn’t officially admitted it yet.
Accuracy and recognizing ability were instantly the themes that the fans roasted ‘Tom Terrific’ about after watching what happened when Rob, pretty much told his ex-quarterback that, after all the time together, he still couldn’t recognize him.
