New England Patriots Immediate Plans For Dented Lombardi Trophy Revealed
The Patriots nation will always remember former tight end Rob Gronkowski for his exceptional talent, his sense of humor and the dented Lombardi Trophy.
That’s right. Gronkowski was excellent during Super Bowl LIII as he helped the team defeat the Los Angeles Rams. But, he was even more hilarious at Red Sox’s home opener. The team honored the Patriots by giving them a chance to throw out the first pitch, and Gronk got so deep in the game that he even used the Lombardi Trophy as a bat. Julian Edelman, Stephon Gilmore and many others were at the crime scene, and let’s just say that Gronk laid a really good bunt that will keep his name written in the history of baseball. And football of course.
How will the team fix the damage? They won’t fix it at all.
“Maybe they’ll fix it down the road,” Patriots Vice President of Media Relations Stacy James told Patriots.com. “That’s something they can always fix in the future, but at least for now, we’re going to keep the dent and tell the story. I’ll give the Krafts credit. It wasn’t the reaction I was fearing. They were very receptive. It’s hard to explain at first. ‘He did what?’ It’s hard to picture where this was and what happened.”
The Patriots had interesting reactions to the incident.
“I saw the look on people’s faces like I see on my son’s face when he’s done something that he shouldn’t have, and Rob’s got a little grin,” Matthew Slater said. “Then I turn to our fearless leader Stacey James. I see the look on his face, and it dawns on me, ‘Oh goodness. Something has gone awry here.'”
“The funniest thing about it all was it actually was a really good bunt,” Duron Harmon added. “Like it was perfect technique. I don’t even understand how he controlled the Lombardi. If the Red Sox had bunting practice, that would be teaching tape for them. He does everything perfect.”
Julian Edelman decided to keep his mouth shut, and he didn’t even comment Gronk’s bunt. Well, he was the accomplice in the incident.
