Rob Gronkowski has joined FOX’s NFL crew and is a great addition. That was made so apparent during halftime of Sunday’s Dallas Cowboys-New England Patriots game.
Speaking during the game break with the Pats up 10-6 on Dallas, Gronk explained why the Patriots were better suited to survive and win the contest, which was played in cold and rainy conditions.
The former Patriots tight end said that Bill Belichick forces the Patriots to practice in all sorts of conditions. Contrarily, he says Jerry Jones lets the Cowboys practice indoors “in the bubble” in bad weather.
"If there's a little rain in Dallas, a little snow in Dallas, Jerry Jones comes out and says "Do you guys wanna practice in the bubble today?" That's why it's advantage Patriots and that's why they're kicking butt today" -Gronk pic.twitter.com/MqsEPzjaSu

Gronk is correct — the Cowboys often practice indoors at the Ford Center when there is bad weather. However, they did practice outdoors ahead of a road game against the Giants to prepare for the bad weather.
Just hearing Gronk take that kind of shot at Jerry Jones and essentially call the Cowboys soft is great. Who else would fearlessly say such a thing? Just Gronk, who often brings the humor when he speaks.
