Today’s White House Press Briefing was briefly interrupted when New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski decided to crash. He asked Press Secretary Sean Spicer, “Need some help?”

The entire room broke out in laughter. “I think I got this, but thank you,” said Spicer.

“You sure?” asked Gronk.

“Maybe,” Spicer said, before saying, “Thanks, man. I’ll see you in a minute.”

The Patriots are visiting the White House today following their Super Bowl win in February.
