NESN’s Tom Caron on Gronk The Broadcaster

Our sports insider is a huge fan of Rob Gronkowski as both a football player and as a person. His broadcasting abilities though? TC's review of Gronk's debut is not very kind and quite amusing.

 Make him a producer? Because that might be a much better idea.

Listen, not everybody can do it, you can't just roll in and do a pregame show. And I'm sure they'll work with him, this was kind of a late in the week thrown together thing.

 

If you look at what David Ortiz does on the baseball side and he can pull it off, I think THAT is what they're going for.

 

What we're going to find out now is how much does Gronk know about the game and how much of Gronk's success a by product of him being bigger stronger and faster than everybody else?

 

It'll be interesting to see how that translates into the studio.

My personal opinion is that he'd be much better suited in a party like atmosphere.

Have a fast paced edited piece with him interviewing people at the tailgate parties and have the segment culminate with a Gronk Spike of some random hilarious object.

Two minutes of television gold.
