"It just upset me that this trophy was disgraced and disrespected by being thrown as if it was a real football," she said. In fact, she thinks Brady should apologize. "I personally would like an apology, not just to me and my family and the other silversmiths but to the fans, all the football fans the other team players,” Grohs said. Brady still has not owned up to the deflated ball storie(s) Can't see any apology on the horizon.

So What if I put it at risk of falling in deep water" Sorta like Gronk using it as a baseball bat and leaving a dent in it. It is what it is, and he is who he is. Until someone beats the crap outta him (and the NFL stops favoring his teams IMO) he can do what he chooses, and people who admire the entitled frat-boy flex will cheer them for it. My wife's name is Karen but spells it Caryn... not sure if that counts... but she is a charge nurse and could definitely kick Brady's ass... she doesnt whine though she orders every one around. 1

Playoffs? Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 I was surprised to read that the trophy is only 7 lbs. I figured it would’ve been more. To the silversmith’s daughter: Relax. The trophy is fine. You want a reality check? Go see what NHL teams do with the Stanley Cup... 1

This is exactly the way I feel. Gronk put a fricken dent in the Lombardi. Marsha gets drunk for the first time away from Uncle Beli and he corn holes the trophy across a bay. Last I checked there's several NFL franchises including our own who have never hoisted one. Would it kill them to show a little more reverence? I guess not. Most responses here seem to be f- it. Who cares. Stop trying to cancel us.....yada yada yada....forget about the silversmith community, I'm surprised the Lombardi family haven't commented? 1

I just find it amusing that people go to social media to complain about people that complain on social media. I'm with you though in seeing the irony of that. One person got upset about something in part because of her fathers role with the trophy. It could have ended right there, but not in today's world.

You take a topic and you discuss it. I’m not sure how many members we have here but I’m assuming it’s in the thousands. That’s going to bump the post count up quite a bit on certain subjects

I guess I took a swat too, saying society likes to complain about society... but we are all guilty I guess. This is a nothing story and hopefully it goes away. I'll do my part and withhold further comment.

Nextmanup Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 The history of the Stanley Cup is filled with incidents like this, some of which were a lot more severe. It's been lost, found, dented, eaten out of, drunken out of, used as a baptismal font, and a lot more! LOL 1
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 Now we need a boat parade of asshats who are offended by anything. That should stretch across the US. 1
Don Otreply Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 The first world needs of this women are over done you might say, but being drunk as a teenager when your pushing fifty years old shows no class whatsoever, no matter who you are or what you’re celebrating, but it’s Brady, so I expect him to act like the low life trash he is. 1
US Egg Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 The Super Bowl trophy is valued at $10,000. Brady's boat he threw it off of, $2,000,000. .....just fun facts. 1 2

Dukestreetking Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) Turns out "a Karen", spelled backwards, and in Malay (neraka), carries the meaning of "hell, destruction underworld". [what can I say? I come up with weird s**t sometimes] Proposed closure to this insipid matter: Ms Silversmith moves to Indonesia, lives a life appropriate to her namesake, and we all go on with the world turning gracefully.

Ok, Karen. You're just mad that Brady has more rings than JPP has fingers. 1
