It’s been five months since the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won Super Bowl LV, but the sight of an intoxicated Tom Brady throwing the Lombardi Trophy from one yacht to another remains fresh in the mind of NFL fans.

Soon after claiming his seventh Super Bowl win, Brady and the Buccaneers took out a boat parade to celebrate their success. Cruising along the ports of Tampa, Florida, Brady and the Buccaneers celebrated in style.

And it’s safe to say that the celebration involved some alcohol as well. In a now-viral video, a clearly disoriented Tom Brady was seen throwing the Lombardi Trophy from one yacht to another.

The quarterback later admitted that he was indeed under the influence of alcohol when the incident took place. But Brady and everyone else took it in good spirits. In fact, Brady has referenced the throw multiple times recently as a passing joke.

Following his Lombardi Trophy antics, the account suggested that the Stanley Cup was just too big for Tom Brady to throw. And frankly, they aren’t wrong.

The 128-year-old trophy weighs 34.5-pounds. The Lombardi Trophy for reference weighs a mere 7 pounds. But given his social media antics, Brady was quick with a response himself.
