Jon Gruden gifted care package from Mark Pope, Kentucky basketball team

Former NFL head coach Jon Gruden is ready for March Madness. On Thursday, the Barstool Sports personality uploaded a video of himself unboxing a care package from Mark Pope and the Kentucky basketball team.

As usual, Gruden brought plenty of energy to the task, listing off former Kentucky Wildcats as if it were a daily routine. Kentucky included all sorts of goodies for Gruden, including several sweet hats, jackets and a pair of basketball shorts.

“Is this a freaking tradition or what, man?” Gruden said to the person filming the video. “You ever been to Rupp Arena? Have you, Clay? Put it on your bucket list, man. Kentucky Wildcats. This is so cool. NCAA Tournament time, basketball time — is this not freaking legendary?

“I feel like Anthony Davis or John Wall right now. Thank you, Coach Pope. It’s our time of year, playoff time.”
