Bill Belichick is not interested in Rob Gronkowski’s big announcement
Rob Gronkowski is teasing a big announcement, and that has many New England Patriots fans in a frenzy wondering if he may be ready to announce a comeback.
Bill Belichick is not in a frenzy. He is in the total opposite of a frenzy.
Belichick was asked Monday — presumably tongue-in-cheek — if he would be monitoring social media for the big announcement Gronkowski teased earlier in the day. Belichick’s response was more or less exactly what you would expect.
On @OMFonWEEI, Bill Belichick is told about Gronk making an announcement at 9 a.m. ET tomorrow, and is asked if he'll be monitoring social media.
"I'm sure my phone will be ringing off the hook, all the alerts I have on it," Belichick jokes. "I'm sure it will be going crazy."

Then Bill Belichick turned serious, saying, "I'm going to be working on Dallas."

Classic Belichick. It helps that, if Gronk were actually planning a comeback, the Patriots coach would surely know about it already. Judging by Tom Brady’s recent comments, it’s pretty clear that there’s no expectation of it happening, so Belichick can go on with his preparation without having to worry about whatever Gronk is up to.
