Studio Analyst Gronk Is Must-See TV: TRAINA THOUGHTS

1. When FOX announced it had hired Gronk as an NFL analyst in October, I was skeptical.

Not because of Gronk, but because I figured we’d get the same old tired Gronk bits. Gronk spiking crap. Gronk dancing. Gronk spiking crap. (People with no creativity REALLY love to make Gronk things, so I mentioned it twice.)

Plus, during his career, it never seemed as if Gronk had TV aspirations. There was a part of me that believed Gronk agreed to become an analyst because he saw the first four letters in the offer e-mail from his agent and just said yes right away.
