Robert Kraft reveals why Patriots left Gronk dent in Super Bowl trophy

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft was asked straight up if he was ever mad at legendary tight end Rob Gronkowski for denting one of the team's six Super Bowl trophies.

When appearing at Fenway Park, Gronkowski and former Patriots receiver Julian Edelman were playing around with one of the trophies. Edelman pitched a baseball, and Gronkowski picked up a trophy and used it as a bat to hit the ball, leaving a permanent dent in the trophy.

Kraft could have had the trophy fixed, but he decided to leave the dent as a way of keeping Gronkowski's memory alive.
