Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski has responded to reports that the Super Bowl trophy has been damaged.
According to Fox News:
Rob Gronkowski not only left his mark on the NFL as one of the greatest tight ends in history but it was also revealed earlier this week he left a mark on the Super Bowl trophy.
A video released by the New England Patriots from their celebration at Fenway Park on April 3 ahead of the Boston Red Sox home opener showed the behemoth athlete using the Vince Lombardi Trophy as a baseball bat. He used it to bunt a baseball and dented the trophy.
Gronkowski appeared unbothered when he tweeted his response Friday about his actions, only saying “Oopsies”.
