It’s impossible to watch Tom Brady‘s tequila-induced Lombardi Trophy throw without feeling that same visceral unease triggered by peering over the ledge of a tall building. The pit in the stomach gets even larger when considering a couple of basic realities.
First, that was the real trophy, not some replica or replacement given to players for partying purposes. Second, as Simms (who lived in Tampa) pointed out on Thursday’s PFT Live, the water in that area of the Hillsborough River is 80 feet deep.
I figure he could probably make the throw.
People are trying to tear Brady down because he is a winner, he is happy, he is a white male, and was partying without a mask. Total nonsense manufactured drama.
From video images, Brady appears to have been drunk at the celebration. He was the man most responsible for that trophy so I guess he had a right to risk it, but I doubt the Glasers would have appreciated having to get a diver to go fetch it from the bottom of the harbor.
It’s not the Shriud of Turin.
Nothing irreplaceable.
Plenty of scuba divers for hire in Florida if the trophy got wet.
“More importantly they’ll do it.”
Do What? When? How? Where? Whom?
The men endure a lot of mental stress and risk damage to their bodies in pursuit of a team goal.
They are celebrating a victory.
I give them a lot of latitude.
FWIW, the winners of a team sport championship took their trophy to a strip club and celebrated into the wee hours of the morning.
YES, YES, YES, YES, and they really hate the fact that all of the black players absolutely love and respect Brady.
They can't even call him a racisssss.
If it was Maholmes / Kelce, I would be concerned. But Brady / Gronk, no concerns at all!!!
This is the best. The Red Sox WS trophy being damaged by some beer can throwing “fan”.

Bob Uecker knows just how much a trophy is worth. He has bought several of them.
Oh come on. It’s not like it’s a unique trophy, they make one every year, and could easily make another, or send divers down. The Stanley Cup has been through worse, and there’s only 1 of those.
Right!!??? And maybe Gronk is an excellent swimmer!
He wasn’t tossing it to a Chief’s receiver.

With Brady's natural good fortune, they would likely find a gold and jewel laden Spanish galleon while they were down there, further pissing of liberals everywhere.
Not much worse than watching a grown man being drunk in public, especially a celebrity like Tom Brady - but he proved himself to be a fool when he ditched his pregnant girlfriend Bridget Moynahan for Gisele Bündchen.
Whatevsss...
