Omaha Productions always keeps things interesting. To announce this year's ManningCast schedule, Peyton and Eli Manning created a "Heist" skit, in which they came up with a mastermind of a plan to break into the NFL headquarters and adjust the schedule as they so desired. Along the way, numerous superstars made cameos to help in their ill-fated plan. Serena Williams, Larry David, and many more gave their two cents on why a heist could or couldn't work. One of the leaders in executing a plan was Rob Gronkowski, one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history and a longtime rival of both of the Manning brothers. Gronk, who is known for his upbeat and funny personality, had a plan for a heist all figured out, and he even poked fun at his New England Patriots teams of old in the process. "Pulling off a heist is the same as running the perfect play. It's all about execution," Gronkowski started. "When I was on the Patriots, we used to break into the league headquarters all the time." In 2007, Bill Belichick was fined $500,000, and his team was docked a first-round pick because the Patriots illegally videotapped opposing teams' signs. Years later, "Deflategate" shocked the league, as it was reported that the team deflated footballs in order to give Tom Brady a better grip. Brady was suspended, and the team again lost a first-round pick. While scandals surrounded the Patriots more than would be ideal, there is no doubting that the team was the greatest dynasty in league history. They won six championships and appeared in three more from 2001 to 2018. Considering how frequently the Manning brothers poke fun at themselves for the entertainment of the football community, it was fun to see Gronkowski address the elephant that is always in the room of the Patriots' dynasty.
