Things got a little catty on “This is SportsCenter.’’

In a video featuring Rob Gronkowski posted Monday, the New England Patriots’ tight end showed off his Super Bowl ring — as if he’d just gotten engaged. To his face, the anchors compliment Gronk on his bling, but as soon as Gronk leaves, the guys rip the gaudy, 205-diamond ring.

More than one Gronkowski got in on the comedic scene. As noted by Jason Romano, it appears that Gronk’s dad, Gordon, made a cameo in the background.
