Rob Gronkowski now can add bowl game impresario to his list of accomplishments. The LA Bowl announced it has agreed to a multiyear deal with the former Patriots and Buccaneers tight end to name the event The LA Bowl Hosted By Gronk.
Gronkowski becomes the first former player to get a bowl game named after him.
The LA Bowl, which is played annually in SoFi Stadium, was created two years ago with late-night host Jimmy Kimmel as the initial sponsor. It features a matchup of teams from the Mountain West and Pac-12.
Last week, Matt Leinart agreed to a friendly wager with Brady Quinn. And after the Notre Dame Fighting Irish upset his USC Trojans, Leinart had to pay up.
On Saturday, the former USC quarterback graced Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff stage in a full-blown leprechaun costume after losing the bet to fellow analyst Quinn, a former Notre Dame quarterback.
“Leprechaun never looked so good, boys!” Quinn taunted. “You look good in green. You look good in green.”
@MattLeinartQB is a man of his word
A bet is a bet right, @Brady_Quinn? pic.twitter.

Manchester United and England legend Sir Bobby Charlton has died at the age of 86, the Premier League club announced on Saturday.
Victor Wembanyama is already a sensation even before ever his NBA regular-season debut, as the Spurs’ No. 1 draft pick has impressed fans with his smooth skills and freakish wingspan in preseason games. The buzz is so intense that even stars from other teams want to meet the French phenom.
That was no different for longtime point guard Chris Paul, who made sure to swap jerseys with Wembanyama after the Warriors–Spurs preseason game Friday night in San Francisco. The 12-time All-Star also got his picture taken with the ballyhooed rookie.
He had just blown his second straight save, and Craig Kimbrel was not interested in analyzing the particulars. What happened on that 3–2 fastball to Alek Thomas?
“Well, he hit it over the fence,” Kimbrel said.
If they had called upon someone other than their closer on Thursday and Friday night, the Phillies might be celebrating a pennant in the pool beyond the centerfield fence at Chase Field.
McAlpine died suddenly at the age of 39, his father confirmed to The Courier.
Derek Jeter is in his first year with Fox Sports, and the Yankees legend plays a relatively serious role on the network’s baseball broadcast team in contrast to David Ortiz and Alex Rodriguez. While the rest of the panel tries to play up the all-Texas ALCS, Jeter has remained stoic throughout the series.
Following the Astros’ Game 5 victory over the Rangers on Friday, Ortiz brought out cowboy hats for the rest of the panel. However, while Rodriguez and Kevin Burkhardt happily put on the hats, Jeter coolly declined.
“New Yorkers don’t wear these,” Jeter said.
Rob Gronkowski is going to make the college football postseason a lot more interesting.
The future Hall-of-Fame tight end will serve as host for the LA Bowl thanks to a new multi-year contract. Jimmy Kimmel had hosted the game for the 2021 and 2022 seasons, but now Gronk will take over for the foreseeable future.
Naturally, with the changing of the guard comes a change of the name.
The Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl will be renamed the LA Bowl Hosted By Gronk.
The game, played at SoFi Stadium, features the Mountain West’s No. 1 selection versus the Pac-12’s No. 5 selection, after CFP selection.
