ROB Gronkowski was left embarrassed on Fox NFL Sunday after a segment with Tom Brady went horribly wrong.

The former teammates reunited on Fox’s coverage with Gronk making his first studio appearance of the season.

About halfway through Sunday’s show, Brady was brought in live from the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium.

He was calling the Cowboys’ clash with the New Orleans Saints at 1pm ET.

Gronk, meanwhile, was on set alongside Michael Strahan, Howie Long, Terry Bradshaw and Curt Menefee.

He missed Week 1 but made a typically energetic appearance this past Sunday.

As soon as Brady flashed up on screen, Gronk told him, “it’s a pleasure to be your teammate once again.

“But this time I’m in charge, I’m the vet.”

The pair spent 11 years as NFL teammates at the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

They combined for four Super Bowl wins across the two teams before both going into a media career with Fox.

Menefee told Brady that Gronk was bragging about how much he know about him.

So the host put that theory to the test and put Gronk on the spot with a couple of questions.

The first was about how many years Brady played in the league without Gronkowski as a teammate.

Gronk answered 13, but was left red-faced when the former quarterback revealed the answer was 12.

“I was giving him too much credit,” Gronk laughed.

The ex-tight end was then asked which movie about a stuffed teddy bear Brady appeared in.

Five best roasts from the Tom Brady roast

“When you got a chance to go 8-9 and all it will cost you is your wife and your kids, you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do.”

“People have said that Tom and I have butted heads a lot and, in a way, that was true. But not really. It was hard to butt heads with Tom because he was so far up Alex Guerrero’s a**.”
Bill Belichick

“Tom, good luck buying the Raiders. They did your favorite thing for you already – they got rid of Jimmy Garoppolo.”
Robert Kraft

“Everybody asks me which ring is my favorite. I used to say, ‘The next one.’ But now that I’m retired, my favorite ring is the camera that caught Coach Belichick slinking out of that poor girl’s house at 6 a.m. a few months ago.”
Tom Brady

“There were rumors Coach Belichick was gonna be here tonight. Turns out he has some time on his hands. Look, at least when I was fired somebody else wanted me.”
Drew Bledsoe

“I definitely know the answer,” a confident Gronkowski claimed.

“At the roast I said that stuffed teddy bear was Julian Edelman, so that was the movie Ted.”

Much to Gronkowski’s embarrassment, Brady revealed it was actually Ted 2.

Gronk slumped down on his desk with his head in his hands.

“Attention to detail, Gronk, attention to detail,” Brady told him.

And Gronkowski laughed, “I’ll just run down the field and you throw me the ball, there’s no attention to detail with me.”

Brady and Gronk also previewed New England’s game against the Seattle Seahawks.

The Patriots began their season with a surprise road win at the Cincinnati Bengals.

They followed up with a narrow overtime loss to the Seahawks this Sunday at Gillette Stadium.

Speaking before Sunday’s game, Brady said, “I think Jerod Mayo has always shown himself to be a great leader.

“He was like a team captain the moment he walked in the door and I think he’s got great leadership.

“There are a lot of coaches there that I like, too.

“That Patriots style of coaching with discipline and accountability is still there.

“For them to go on the road and beat Cincy – it’s tough to be a first-year coach.”
