Gronk Talks Raiders, Brother's Release On Toucher & Rich

The Patriots are now 2-1 after falling in Buffalo last weekend. The team now prepares to head to the West Coast to battle the Raiders. Last weekend Oakland was able to put away the Jets to improve to 2-1.

Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski spoke with Toucher & Rich about the Red Sox missing the playoffs, fans dressing up in costume and his brother Dan.

It's hard not to notice Raiders fans out in the stands since they dress like it's Halloween every game. This led to a discussion about the weirdest fan base that Gronkowski has ever encountered. As a player does Gronk find fans dressing up a bit clownish?

"No not at all, I mean that's what the fans are there for. They're going out there to have a good time and support their teams and any way that they can do it," Gronk said.

In the week leading up to the game in Buffalo Rob's brother Dan, also a tight end, was released by New England. How did his brother take being cut right before going to their hometown to play? Is Dan still in town, and since Rob is the team's only TE right now is there a chance that Dan makes a return to the roster?

"You can't be asking me these questions man. I don't know what's going on. I just chill," he said. "I just come to work and do what I need to do."

They also went on to discuss how Bill Belichick handles practice after a loss. Is it any different from practice after a win?

"It's really not that different because every week we're out there practicing hard no matter what. Every win we feel like we got to keep practicing hard because we got to keep it up. After a loss it feels like we got to go out and have a good practice because we got to go out and win the next game," said the tight end.

All this and much more with Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski.
