Gronk uses Lombardi Trophy for batting practice and dents it

“Sometimes things happen” - Matthew Slater

I loved it. Obviously the team isn’t taking it too seriously so why should anyone else? Gronk being Gronk one last time. I bet even Bill smiled at that video

“Probably not ideal”

-Matthew Slater.

RE: Cheaply made

Not at all. They're sterling silver and hollow. Silver is extremely soft. It has nothing to do with how it's made. Maybe they should make them from steel??????

It's their trophy. They earned it. If they want to dent it up, let them. Cripes, the Senators drop kicked the Stanley onto a frozen canal way back.

It should be a giant hunk of crystallized tears of our fallen opponents and Jets fans

Tiffany's makes them. They can get a brand new one and give Gronk the bill, the receipt and the dented one for his very own

There needs to be some sort of punishment for this. Make him play one more year!

Gronk was is and will be always the same...

Like him or not...

Personally i like him

Probably this time...mmm...

But Gronk is Gronk

I take issue with you sir. I think some people were seriously getting angry at Gronk and the rest of us were rolling our eyes at them. Then a bunch of other stuff happened in this thread.

Get over it. What a waste of time and energy.

No way will they remove that dent. Edelman pitching, Gronkowski batting, at Fenway on banner day? That Lombardi is now the one everyone will want to see--an instant Boston sports legend.

Yea I don't really understand why people have an issue with some people finding this decision by Gronk to be a stupid one. Not the worst thing in the world, of course the trophy will be repaired.. still dumb though.

How is it dumb if the team thought they were replica trophies?

Is Matthew Slater dumb?

Me too! But I had Deep Blue C, some BASIC compilers, some BASIC interpreters, FORTH, and an Assembler for the Atari. You know why it is funny when someone drops a stack of cards? Because it has happened to a lot of us. Where I work, we used to program payroll holidays by wrapping wires around posts on a circuit board. I can't believe how old I am...

I still remember programming the computer to play blackjack ( misspent youth) ?? fabs- fitr-fran....or something like that.. 45 years ago........
My freshman college roommate was a computer science major and he was the original hacker. He figured out the chemistry password ("atom") and changed his grade from a low C to B+..... He's now a professor of CS at a prestigious university.. As long as he's not nominated for the Supreme Court, his secret is safe....

Gronk issued an apology on Twitter today,one word: "Oopsies".

If it was anyone else I'd be like wtf. But with Gronk it just seems right.

See what happens when you let players have fun!!!

BB should make Gronk write on the blackboard 1000 times:

I will not dent the trophy. I will not dent the trophy. I will not dent the trophy......

The Patriots could get a new one and sell that one for charity ...

Bet it's worth a boatload of $$$$.
