The Detroit Lions got a chance to play on national television on Saturday and not surprisingly, they managed to completely embarrass themselves in a 47-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
In the game, Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski had a pair of touchdown catches, reminding of all as the Gronk of old.
Following the conclusion of the game, whoever runs the NFL on FOX Twitter decided to troll the Lions by reposting a video of when Gronk explained how he avoided being traded to Detroit by saying he was retired.
Thanks for rubbing it in, NFL on FOX!
