Tom Brady couldn’t resist taking a playful shot at Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman after the former Patriots stars unveiled a new song as part of their Fox Sports promo.
Gronkowski and Edelman are fronting a new digital series for Fox Sports called “The Gronk & Jules Show,” and the ad for it has the pair singing a track titled “Talkin’ Football.” The promo leans all the way into their personalities, with the former tight end and wide receiver joking about wanting careers talking football.
Brady reposted the video and added his own jab, writing, “They used to walk out to practice like this.. same turtlenecks and everything.”
Edelman said the song was more than just a bit for the cameras. “Me and Gronk have been keeping our singing talent a secret for so many years, so getting a real chance to showcase that and doing it about a topic we love so much was really just a lot of fun,” he said in a statement per Variety.
Fox Sports senior VP of on-air promotions Bill Battin also praised the collaboration. “we had a ton of fun on this one,” Battin said.
“Gronk and Jules made the song their own, bringing their personalities to a great concept from Clay and the team at The San Clemente Experiment,” Battin added.

The series itself will air twice a week and focus on football talk from two familiar voices. According to the logline, “On Mondays, Gronkowski and Edelman break down the weekend’s biggest games, reacting to on-field action versus what the box score says. On Thursdays, Edelman sits down with a rotating cast of players, coaches and insiders for deeper conversations,”
The three men know each other well from their New England days, where Gronkowski, Edelman and Brady won three Super Bowls together. Now they’re all part of Fox Sports in different roles: Gronkowski as a full-time studio analyst on FOX NFL Sunday, Edelman as a studio analyst for FOX NFL Kickoff, and Brady as the lead NFL color commentator working alongside play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt.

Patriots Fans Have A Few Week 9 Results To Watch Closely
With the Patriots still trying to sort out their place in the AFC race, Week 9 brings a few scoreboard-watching opportunities that could matter almost as much as what happens in Foxborough. The schedule includes matchups like the Jaguars at the Ravens and the Jets at the Chiefs, and both games carry ripple effects for New England as the playoff picture starts to take shape.
Baltimore is one of the more interesting teams to track because of the way its quarterback situation has developed, while New Yorks trip to Kansas City is another one Patriots fans will have an eye on for reasons beyond simple rivalry. New England has its own business to handle, but these are the kinds of results that can quietly change the math around the AFC standings before the season gets much deeper. [Read more 🡒]
Patriots Suddenly Face A Running Back Decision They Didn't Expect
TreVeyon Hendersons availability has suddenly become a major Patriots storyline after a medical emergency sent the rookie running back to the hospital and left his return date unclear. For a team that had been counting on him as part of its backfield plans, the situation has quickly turned from a football issue into a broader roster concern, with New England now having to think through how it handles the position if the uncertainty lingers.
With the trade deadline approaching, the Patriots are at least being mentioned in the kind of running back speculation that usually surfaces only when a team feels pressed to act. The names being floated around the league are the sort that would reshape a backfield in a hurry, but for now it is still just that, speculation, as New England waits for more clarity on Henderson and weighs whether outside help becomes necessary.

Patriots May Soon Face A Christian Elliss Decision They Didn't Expect
Christian Elliss has quietly become one of the more interesting contract cases on the Patriots roster. The inside linebacker is in his fourth season with New England, and after a strong start to this year, he has drawn attention as a player who could be in line for an extension before the situation gets more complicated.
For a team always weighing how to keep its defense young and affordable, Elliss is the kind of player who can force a decision sooner than expected. His play this season has put him on the radar as a possible long-term piece, and the Patriots may soon have to decide whether to lock him in or let the contract picture play out a little longer.
