“He’s a lot of fun and I love it,” Gronkowski explained after appearing at the grand opening of Great Wolf Lodge South Florida. “It’s great to see Tom succeeding. And the best part is, he occasionally chimes in the pregame show booth while I’m at my desk. So you can ask him some questions. And to be teammates with him again off the pitch is really special.
