Tom Brady clearly misses his longtime teammate Rob Gronkowski – off the field if not on the field. As it turns out, he’s been trying to bring the former All-Pro tight end back into the fold.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in Germany this week for their Sunday game against the Seattle Seahawks. During his Let’s Go! podcast this past week, Brady jokingly revealed that he’s been using Germany’s fondness for beer to lure Gronkowski back to the team – just for this one game.
“I’ve heard the only thing you’re allowed to drink on the sideline at these German games is beer,” Brady said, via BucsGameday.
“I actually tried to recruit Gronk back just for this game in particular. Hopefully, he goes for it.”

Brady was obviously joking, but you never know when Rob Gronkowski is concerned. The opportunity to play football in Germany is probably pretty tempting if only to see what kinds of beer-themed celebrations he might be able to get away with.

We can still enjoy what could have been though.
