Above the fold
Party With the Lombardi
If everybody every day got offended by everything would that actually enable cancel culture to cancel cancel culture? Just asking as 1) we cannot be that far from it, and 2) it would be a merciful end to the maniacal madness.
Can we just make it stop? We are asking for a friend.
Actually, we are asking for Tom Brady. He’s in hot water(not really) after tossing the Lombardi Trophy over Tampa Bay water from one boat to another as all of Tampa celebrated the Bucs Super Bowl victory with a boozy Super Bowl boat parade.
He completed the pass just like he has so many before with a real football that isn’t attached to the stem of the trophy. So, no big deal right? Wrong.
“It just upset me that this trophy was disgraced and disrespected by being thrown as if it was a real football,” the daughter of the man who designed the Vince Lombardi Trophy, Lorraine Grohs told Tampa’s Fox 4.
“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,” she insisted.
Did she miss anybody?
“Hi, Tom Brady here. I’d like to personally apologize to all silversmiths near and far for my outrageous behavior late last week. Hic. Apparently, having fun and silver trophies don’t mix well.”
Would that tongue-tied in cheek BS apology be sufficient? We can hope.
The woman went on to claim that she has experienced “sleepless nights” over what she feels is the “disrespect” her father’s handiwork received. Sleepless nights? Sure.
The only thing worse than that claim is that this nonsensical “news” story even got air time. And, maybe that, unto itself, is the problem.
Everyone wants to be famous for 15 minutes even when it’s achieved by taking a shot at a guy who took a few shots on the field then a few more off of the field.
“I only watch the game to watch the trophy come out. I like to see all the owners and the football players just hold it up with such pride and hold it up and show everybody and I get goosebumps…. like right now I’m getting goosebumps,” she admitted.
Goosebumps! It’s not winning the trophy that’s the thing, it’s seeing the trophy. Who knew?
Tom tweeted, “nothing to see here, just a little avocado tequila.”
Nothing to see here, indeed.
Comment section
Fox will air anything these days I guess
With the charade of the impeachment trial passed they were likely looking for something even more worthless to broadcast.
I’m insulted that BBR.com would satirically insult the media that covered the lady that insulted Tom Brady for insulting the Lombardi trophy. Lorraine should be insulted that the NFL doesn’t have therapy animals on call to comfort her during her “sleepless nights”.
Good point. But they do have Bears and Lions that have been rather passive for decades now.
It’s good that her relatives didn’t design the Stanley Cup! That thing has been to more adult clubs than William Jefferson Clinton!
And it has more dents than my high school 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass!
She needs to get a life- What’s wrong with a little fun!
Agree. See the Stanley Cup reference above.
Where is Lord Stanley’s Cup Protector?
Q. Do you know who was Lord Stanley’s roommate at Oxford?
A. Mitch Cupcheck.
