How stupid can Gronkowski really be?

MCMLVTopps

The day of the WS ring ceremony at Fenway Park, they were joined by Patriot's players. Among them was Gronkowski...as goofy as Gronk can be, what he did is the epitome of stupid. So, there he is in the batting cage and decides to hit a baseball with the Lombardi Trophy the Patriot's had won winning the Super Bowl. Yup, big dent in the trophy.

Now that he is retired he fears no retribution. Anyway , that is probably the 17th replacement , all those idiots that handled it over the years you know it can't be original

That's just Gronk being Gronk,I bet Manny Ramirez gave him the idea.

craig44

I saw that on the broadcast tonight. So stupid

stevek

Well at least Gronk didn't instead pick up and use Tom Brady to do that.

That's just Gronk being Gronk.

that's the most lame excuse. I am beginning to think that dignity and self-respect are qualities which are no longer valued. when I heard the story I had a hard time believing it, when I saw the video it was even worse. the reaction was like a bunch of High School kids watching a carnival dunk-tank.

Dude that was completely a joke and reference to Manny Ramirez,aka Manny being Manny, a phrase that Sox fans heard for years whenever he did something stupid. I don't condone what Gronk did so unbunch your panties and relax already.

keets

unbunched............................please use a smiley next time.

erikthredd

Including Manny's name should have been a dead giveaway that it wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

If a players head was caved in like that lombardi trophy was on a tackle no one would bat an eyelash.

cry me a river

erikthredd

Is it just me or does that football look a bit deflated?

stevek

My first reaction was it must be a cheap-arze manufactured trophy to get such a ding like that from such a softly thrown ball.

What is it made out of...aluminum foil?

stevek

Trophies are usually made in assemblable pieces. They're not going to leave it like that. They'll get it fixed.

Maybe send Gronk the repair bill.

I like the story. Levity is a good thing in sports.

I’m sure it’s easily replaced, honestly I don’t think any harm was done it was all in fun. I’d be saying this if it were any player not just Gronk. For all we know it was probably staged anyways

No matter what a Patriot player/ex player coach or owner does, it's ok.

No, not a real problem (certainly in today's world), but the guy is an idiot.

stevek

Gronk may have started a new sport.

Trophy bunting. 🤔

keets

I'm conflicted, I always thought of Gronk as the kind of guy you'd invite to the party, after this I'm not so sure. BTW, the trophy is Sterling Silver and handmade by Tiffany.

erikthredd

Of course you invite Gronk to the party just make sure its not at your house.

The Patriots have indicated that the do not intend to fix it. They are amused by the story and plan to display it as-is.

My understanding is they make a new one every year.

They'll fix it. Kraft isn't going to allow that in his trophy case.

Judge blocked it's release already, I believe.

He may be goofy, but if you look at how Gronk has managed his money since turning pro, he is certainly not stupid.

lawnmowerman

He really needs to stop eating those tide pods and sell them instead

Belichick will just use this as motivation to get a fresh new trophy next year
