Gronk recounts Brady's hilarious response to taking Fireball shot
Tom Brady is known to be an impressive beer chugger, but he apparently doesn't have the same taste for Fireball.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski was asked about his favorite off-field memory of Brady during a Zoom call with reporters Wednesday, and he recalled the quarterback's immediate regret after downing a shot of the cinnamon-flavored whisky.
"I would just say going to a Kentucky Derby and seeing him take a shot and, like, just seeing his face after ... in disgust like, 'I'm putting this alcohol in my body?’” Gronkowski said, according to Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times. "Takes a shot and he's like, 'Ohhh, how am I gonna throw next week?!'"
Brady follows a notoriously strict diet and rarely drinks alcohol, as he detailed in his 2017 book, "The TB12 Method."
