Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski Reunite for Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff

UPDATE: NFL legends Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski are back together, taking center stage for Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff this Saturday, November 25, 2023, in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Although they have been granted Sunday off for Thanksgiving weekend, fans will not miss out on their insights and commentary during one of college football’s biggest rivalries: Michigan versus Ohio State.

The announcement was made on Friday, generating excitement around the star-studded lineup that also features Derek Jeter, Charles Woodson, and Eddie George. The official statement from Fox declared, “We have a STAR-STUDDED lineup. Can’t wait to have [Brady and Gronk] join us in Ann Arbor.”

Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl champion, has strong ties to Michigan, having played college football there before achieving NFL stardom with the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Gronkowski, who played alongside Brady for many of those championship years, has emerged as one of the most dynamic pundits in sports media.

Despite their time off from Sunday’s usual Fox NFL duties, the duo has been busy this week. They appeared in Fox’s Thanksgiving special on Thursday, where Gronk analyzed plays while Brady co-commentated the Green Bay Packers victory over the Detroit Lions.

Fox has ensured a strong cast for Sunday’s games, featuring new addition Drew Brees alongside Adam Amin and Kristina Pink as they cover the matchup between the Carolina Panthers and the Los Angeles Rams.

Brady, reflecting on his experience, provided guidance to Brees earlier this month, humorously noting, “I’m glad I’m not a rookie anymore. I’d go through all the mistakes I made in my first year but we’d be here for an hour. He knows what to do. Have fun, just enjoy yourself and don’t read all those social media comments after.”

As fans gear up for the highly anticipated showdown between Michigan and Ohio State, the presence of Brady and Gronkowski adds an extra layer of excitement to the event. Stay tuned for more updates as the broadcast unfolds, and catch all the action live on Fox!
