"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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern_Bills Posted February 15, 2021 Share 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.

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.

T master Posted February 15, 2021 Share 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 ?

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

When Josh won the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, he started throwing the potatoes in the bowl and all that was left was the empty bowl. If her father was a potato farmer she would have been all over Josh's case. It's a good thing her father wasn't CEO of Charmin.
