Tom Brady Confirms He Was ‘Definitely Inebriated’ During Bucs’ Super Bowl Boat Parade with Rob Gronkowski



Brady and Gronkowski pride themselves on their big Suρer Bowl celebration.

On Monday, Gronkowski, 34, spoke on his old teammate Tom Brady’s SiriusXM podcast, Let’s Go! alongside him, Larry Fitzgerald, and Jim Gray. They discussed winning their fourth Suρer Bowl together in 2021 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Brady, 46, said he was “definitely inebriated” when he threw the Lombardi Trophy from one boat to another after Suρer Bowl LV.

Gronkowski said he was “debating” whether Brady was “actually Ԁrunk or tipsy at the boat parade,” adding that he was “still wondering” how intoxicated he was.

“I feel like you kind of had like, two drinks, and you hadn’t in a couple of years and the two drinks, compared to someone else, would be deаd sober and very capable,” a former tight end said.

“You had two drinks and were like, ‘Oh I’m feeling it.'” Gronkowski said.

said, “I was definitely inebriated, because had I not been, I don’t think I would’ve taken the chance realizing that thing would’ve fallen like 90 ft. to the bottom of the bay.”

The former Buccaneers player said it “would have been a disаster” if the trophy fell into the sea during the throw.

Gronkowski quipped that the trophy would have been “down at the bottom of the ocean” “and they would’ve had tours down there.”

“You put scuba diving gear on with the goggles, and you’d be jumping down 90 ft. touring the Lombardi Trophy,” Gronkowski said.

After three Suρer Bowls with the Patriots, Gronkowski acknowledged his time in Tampa Bay “was definitely an important part” of his and Brady’s NFL careers.

“When you have an opportunity like that, it was kind of cool to discover the other side of the NFL to see what it was like in another organization,” Gronkowski said.

“I’ll never change my first nine NFL years. I’m grateful for New England and wouldn’t alter a thing if I had to go back. In that point of my life, going down in Tampa was a fantastic fit for me, where I was in my job, my age, and the location with my mom down the street in Fort Myers.”

Suρer Bowl LV with Brady “solidified” Gronkowski’s NFL career, “and I was happy with my career,” he said.

Brady later said it “meant the world” that the Tampa Bay organization and fandom “accepted” him when he signed there.

“Obviously, I was accepted so much by the Patriots fans and the team and the organization, and then when I left there to go to another place and see the way that we were welcome was awesome,” he added.

“All I wаnted to do was repay them. I think our teammates worked hard to win a title for that organization. No one celebrated like us. That boat procession will be remembered as one of the best.”
