Slater: Now, we're all under the impression these are replica trophies, then we learned that indeed these were not replicas. These were the real trophies.

Stephon Gilmore: And it's not an old trophy. It's the brand new one.

Harmon: You can't hide a baseball dent in there. Everybody literally went to the trophy and saw it. I think Rob thought it was more funny than anything.

Anonymous: Between the two of them, the words were thrown out, "Take it out of my paycheck."

Harmon: The funniest thing about it all was it actually was a really good bunt. 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.

Gilmore: He said at the last second, in his mind, he was like, "I'm going to bunt it." I'm glad he didn't swing it.

McCourty: There might not be a football on the Lombardi trophy anymore if he swung, so I guess we're all thankful for that part of it.

Etling: It was one of the more reckless things I've seen in my life.

Cardona: I doubt we're going to be allowed to go anywhere with any of the trophies ever again. Every single time I see it, I'm just like, I can't believe that happened.

James: 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.

Slater: Not exactly what we're looking for, but if it had to happen on that day with all of us that were there, the two guys that I would say, "Okay, maybe we can get away with this" would be the MVP and the future Hall of Famer.

Karras: I mean, I'm glad it wasn't me batting.

Gilmore: Nobody would have done that but Gronk.

James: Maybe they'll fix it down the road. 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.

Thuney: I don't think the value of the trophy is diminished at all. I think, if anything, it's increased because of the story behind it.

Crossen: We had even more fun when they introduced us on the field and we held that dented trophy up. That trophy means just as much as any other one, but we had a little bit of fun with that one.

Karras: I love that's how he ends it. It's going to go down in sports lore: the dent in the Lombardi from Gronk and Edelman.

Hoyer: Rob's parting gift to the organization was leaving his mark on his last Super Bowl trophy.

Cardona: He's going to go all out no matter what he's doing. What you see is what you get with him. He always has the biggest smile in the room, so to see him have a little fun right there in the outfield of Fenway Park, maybe at the expense of priceless sports history, he's earned every right to do it.
