HOUSE Posted June 7, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gronk was an A+ goon on the field (see: "Rub" routes and Pick Plays): #goonplatoon #cheatriots 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve O Posted June 7, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted June 7, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris66 Posted June 7, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stated in the post game interview he acted the way he did because he felt he was being held the whole game.. Like what? It’s not like this was an OBJ and Norman altercation. He acted out like a child having a tantrum because he wasn’t getting his way. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T master Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 It seems only fitting that Gronk that as he left his mark on the NFL he left his final mark on the last trophy he helped the Pats win while he played !!

I can't believe someone can blow it off this way. There's no defense for behaving the way he did. He could've hurt Tre far more than he did and didn't even show remorse for it. Lost all respect for him after his "apology". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The meathead was already a 4* recruit and Left north for an academic dispute that went down quietly He wasn’t gonna leave originally iirc he was ruled ineligible originally to play in PA. The HS governing body in PA says you can be ineligible if you transfer for athletic reasons after a fight he was ruled eligible because they argued it was an academic reason as well Edited June 7, 2019 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked deliberately over the top. Every thing that team does is an eff you to the league and other fan bases. Who knows if they’ll ever have down years again. But if they do, I’ll relish every loss and blowout just as much as Bills wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Gronkowski did was assault and should have been prosecuted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
