"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. The glory if that ***** had donked off Gronks balls and splashed into the water settling down to the bottom of the Atlantic...would've been the second time Gronk dented the Lombardi and the second team he accomplished this feat for...
Buffalo ill Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 The trophy isn't the important part anyway. Pro athletes spend more at the blackjack table than the value of the trophy. Certainly the billionaire owner can buy a replacement.
Southern_Bills Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 I think the term "Karen" is the most racist/hypocritical term going today. It literally calls out a person for nothing more than something based on their race/sex. But, yes this woman is silly, she should worry about other things.

Big Turk Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) I want an apology from her after taking to time to look up her picture and forcing me to not be able to unsee what she looked like. Edited February 15, 2021 by Big Turk 1

Maybe you should ask to speak to the manager. 1 3
Golden*Wheels Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 Um....where was she when Gronk used the Lombardi as a bat at Fenway, and DENTED it bunting a pitch, when he was a Patriot?

Total Buffalo sports gal, would have been nice to get a Lombardi or a Cup before then😥 Very fond memories of Sabres games at the Aud together when I was a little guy. Sorry for your loss. My mom is Karen also.....we spent a LOT of time in the orange seats (two sitting next to me right now). She would take us to games while my dad was out of town. $7 tickets are a no-brainer.

This legendary center won the Stanley Cup four times during his career with the Detroit Red Wings. Obviously, he has countless stories to tell when it comes to hockey. But none of his stories will ever come close to what happened in 2008 when he decided to put his newborn daughter in the Cup. Now imagine the reaction from everyone as the baby went on to poop inside the Stanley Cup. That almost makes you feel bad for everyone who drank and will drink stuff out of the Cup for years still to come.” https://www.thesportster.com/hockey/top-15-nhl-players-who-disgraced-the-stanley-cup-trophy/ Funny read!

Thanks man. Mom was a big part of growing up into Buffalo sports fanhood. My grandfather used to get some cherry seats thru his boss season tix, lower blues on the blue line, bench side & my favorite spot reds (sec 2, row J, 4-5-6!). Those were the best bc we were two rows directly behind one of those corner scoreboards, so a very unobscured view. Great memories in that building. I also have sets of 3 & 2 blue seats, 3 are in my living room
TBBills Fan Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 I "personally" want an apology? As others have said, SHUT UP KAREN Her dad USED to make the Lombardi......lmao why does she "personally" need an apology exactly? For what, the champs celebrating? Oh she wanted her 15 minutes...she didnt design or make it, and Ill be t the blacksmith that did got PAID for the service....so shut up lady. YOU are whats wrong with society.

It's only applied to white females, sure they have derogatory terms for other races of females as well but Karen seems to be the only term you can use openly and not be labeled a biggot. I'm not trying to make this a racism thread though, it's just an observation. 1
T master Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 Once it leaves their hands what difference does that make i bet she was really pissed when Gronk hit the baseball with the one trophy which now has a dent in it but there was no huge out cry about that when it happened was there ?

Wood seats, under the overhang, remember the B/W TV's that showed the scoreboard because you couldn't see it!? My last Aud experiences were blue seat season tickets my dad got, for the first 3 Bandits seasons. The '93 championship game was incredibly amazing. The upper deck was literally bouncing up and down in front of us. 12 hours ago, Big Turk said: I want an apology from her after taking to time to look up her picture and forcing me to not be able to unsee what she looked like.

In fact, I took several unauthorized “field trips” inside back in 2007. I have a ton if pics, I could make a thread in OTW and post some. It was crazy, like they literally just locked the doors in 1996 and just left everything intact. The blues were from an official sale in ‘09, they ripped them out before they started tearing the building down. My wife & I showed up at 5:30 am the day of the sale and were 9th & 10th in line, so we snagged two sets (one per customer). You could have paid extra to have them autographed by the French Connection and I kinda kick myself for not doing it. 1

Circuses, my first concerts, Sabres, Bandits, Canisius games, Globetrotters, Disney on Ice. I always wanted one of the sound-deadening cylinders on the ceiling.
