We all get those calls from private numbers, or numbers we don't recognize. We debate whether to answer or not. Our favorite former tight-end for the Pats, recently went through the same thing.

Rob Gronkowski was just hanging around one day and decided to answer the call, just so he could mess with whoever was on the other end. (Sounds like a Gronk thing to do).Only this call was real. It was NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on the line trying to share some good news with Gronkowski. He wanted to inform Gronk that he had been named to the NFL 100 All-Time Team. But Roger had no idea what he was in for when Gronk answered his call!

Gronk describes the whole exchange in this Twitter video.
