Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady’s most memorable Super Bowl pass draws a demand that he apologize for his boat-to-boat toss of the hallowed Lombardi trophy. The daughter of the Tiffany and Co. silversmith who crafted the first Lombardi says the man who’s held seven of them should publicly repent for desecrating her father’s creation.

The Stanley Cup is FUN!!! Football used to be fun.
As good as he is did they think he couldn’t shovel pass that trophy straight into the hands of the receiver.
Isn’t it more accurate to call it “A” Lombardi Trophy since they make a new one each year. It’s not like there’s just one, if it sunk to the bottom of the ocean, it would create an industry of divers and treasure hunters trying to fish it from Davy Jones Locker. It would also make a hell of a great story.
It’s an inanimate object that belongs to the Buccaneers. They won it, they can do whatever they want with it, Brady definitely more than anyone else. Now if he were throwing children from boat to boat he might need to apologize.
Depends on the child.
Because the trophy is just a symbol of the victory. If the trophy sinks to the bottom of the river, the Bucks are still the 2021 Superbowl champs.
Hahaha. This is one of Scott’s best videos. Well done.
Also .. the Patriots.. just.. yeah….
In spite of all the crap the NFL is doing for “social justice” I love the game of football. It is truly a game of chess, with reallly big men as the pieces on the board. The coaches on the sidelines direct how to position the players, as well as some of the key players themselves as they analyze each play just before it happens and make adjustments. This game is not simply big men hitting each other, it is truly chess on a physical level. I played football on the junior high and high school level for five years, and one year of college as a running back and defensive back. There is no place at any position where you can mindlessly run around and just hit people. This is a thinking mans game, along with strength and stamina. Anyone else, no matter how big or fast, will not find success in this game long term. For me, I was simply too small to continue taking the hits, 5-11 and 170lbs against linemen and linebackers that were on average 6-1 and 230lbs. took me out of the game with injuries. I also think this game is a microcosim of life, where the struggles between the teams on the field represent so much of what we face day to day, but played out before us on a field over a short amount of time. I hope the “social justice” people do not ruin this great game.
The real questions is: Was that silver Lombardi football properly deflated??
Meh … I watched this out of habit. There are few things in the world that I could care less about than the reverence or lack of with which the Super Bowl Trophy is treated.
In fact there is something I care less about. That would be what anyone else thinks of any lack of reverence for the Super Bowl Trophy.
EDIT: I like that you guys have switched over to Rumble but I HATE THE AUTOPLAY OF THE NEXT VIDEO FROM RUMBLE. Only Webby McWebface (the Web Master) can fix that, please do so ASAP.
ACTS – do you happen to know what setting to change? I cannot seem to find it in my own Rumble account. The next one starts automatically for me as well.
I’ve looked and there is no setting that we, as viewers, can change to disable the subsequent video autoplay. There are settings in the various browsers to prevent autoplay on load but that only applies to the first, original video and not the subsequent video autoplay. It has to be done on the front end by the website that is linking the video(s). There are instructions on the ‘net for how to do that using markup language.
Being as this linking to Rumble is new to billwhittle.com I’m assuming they either don’t know that or have not gotten around to it yet… So if enough of us make an issue of it someone working for the site will eventually get around to doing it.
I like the non-political palate cleanser once in a while.
Good point. I wasn’t complaining so much as expressing my utter disinterest in this topic. Watching “the guys” discuss it is still well worthwhile.
What, you don’t think he’s competent to make that pass?
HE’S TOM FRICKIN’ BRADY.
“The reason it’s such a big story now…”
…is because Tom Brady is white, that’s all.
The trophy is a symbol of the victory. The victory is the important part, not the symbol.
If that silver smith didn’t want the damned trophy tossed like a football, then he should not have shaped it as one. All I can say to such Karens is, “Sit down and shut up!”
The silversmith who made the first trophy worked under contract and neither he would, nor his decedents now, have any claim on any same trophy.
Why are the people who didn’t win it whining about what was done with it? You’d think they think it belongs to THEM.
Why? Is the Lombardi Trophy a religious artifact?
The trophy was the focal point of the celebration – emphasizing its significance.
As a Jets fan, I’m contractually obligated to hate Tom Brady, the infuriating thing is that from all indications the SOB appears to be a really nice guy !! The nerve!
On the other hand my daughter and her husband were guests of Boomer Esiason on the set of The NFL Today and while Boomer is a great guy, Dan Marino, who I’m also obliged to hate, is every inch the unfriendly arrogant perk we always thought he was.
We can’t blame Dan Marino. Poor guy never had a chance to get an education. He went to Pitt.
Well, at least all those great PSU QBs to star in the NFL got a great education. Quick name 1, we’ll wait.
PSU first day questionnaire: Can you do math? Take a right to engineering. No, take a left to journalism!
N.B.: Not a Pitt alum, just like busting the chops of those who went to PSU.
The list of Penn State quarterbacks from my collegiate tenure alone, who went on to NFL fame, extends as far the eye can see…at least among color commentators whose names are Todd Blackledge.
Also, [spoiler title=”unfair”] quoting me on journalism majors [/spoiler] .
I was wondering and hoping that you recognized the source. Bravo to you.
