HOUSE Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) Patriots didn't fix dent Gronk put on Lombardi Trophy By Kevin Patra Around the NFL Writer Published: June 7, 2019 at 09:01 a.m. Updated: June 7, 2019 at 10:39 a.m. The New England Patriots celebrated their Super Bowl LIII victory Thursday night, receiving their rings and reveling in the franchise's sixth title. One revelation from the event: The team didn't fix the Lombardi Trophy that newly retired tight end Rob Gronkowski dented by attempting to bunt with it before the Boston Red Sox's Opening Day festivities earlier this spring. The dinged-up Lombardi brought out the laughs Thursday night. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001033053/article/patriots-didnt-fix-dent-gronk-put-on-lombardi-trophy Edited June 7, 2019 by HOUSE
Success Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 I can’t stand the whole “lovable goofball” persona he has with everyone. My whole perception of him changed after that late hit on Tre. He’s scum. 17 2 12

My whole perception of him changed after that late hit on Tre. He’s scum. I agree. The fact he used a weapon on a guy with his back to him makes him super scum. I still don't get why him or anyone else should be allowed to play football with a metal club on their arm either. 7

Can't judge the guy completely on one impulsive act during an NFL contest. You can, however, judge a career goon to have been a career goon. Hockey has them. Football too. Gronk was an A+ goon on the field (see: "Rub" routes and Pick Plays): #goonplatoon #cheatriots 2 1 1

Can't judge the guy completely on one impulsive act during an NFL contest. I agree, but I can also judge a guy for how he takes responsibility for his actions. After the benefit of time to think about what he did to Tre, he showed no remorse for an action that resulted in a concussion and had the potential to end the career of another player. After a great career, this will be the one Gronk play that I remember most. 6 3
eball Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 He's a f***king neanderthal, what do people expect? He was a great NFL player and will go to the HOF but he's also a complete moron and buffoon. The two aren't mutually exclusive. 2

The meathead left before his senior year anyway for a true meathead (i.e., D1 jock factory) in the Pittsburgh area.

Steve O Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 Saying that was he was attempting to bunt is like saying he attempted to catch passes. It was a great bunt that would have made Rod Carew envious.
MJS Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 They should get it fixed and have Gronk pay for it. Can't believe the level of disrespect shown to the Lombardi Trophy that some of these players show. Especially this Gronk incident. The NFL should fine the team for blatant disrespect to the league and the game in general. 1 1
Chris66 Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 I think the dent is kind of funny. 20 years from now kids will still ask why that trophy is dented. Besides there are 5 more in perfect condition. 1
LABILLBACKER Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 How will they ever fix the dent in Gonks head? He'll spend the rest of his idiotic life pretending to be a frat boy.

We can't keep giving stuff like this an excuse. That type of behavior is wrong in any sports setting no matter how you slice it. If you keep making excuses for impulsive people, they stay impulsive for the rest of their lives. 2
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 ...so now BOTH are dented?.......twins I presume..........
without a drought Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 It has a long way to go to catch up with the Stanley Cup, that's the real party trophy.
