Some day a trophy will end up at the bottom of Tampa Bay...

...after the Lighting drove around with the Stanley Cup on a jet ski, Tom Brady decided to toss the Lombardi Trophy over the water to another boat!

Tampa Bay Lightning celebrate title by taking Stanley Cup on a jet-ski

Turns out Rob Gronkowski wasn't the guy the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had to worry about when it came to the safety of the Lombardi Trophy.T

The Bucs set sail for a boat parade down Hillsborough River in Tampa on Wednesday to celebrate their Super Bowl LV victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, and Tom Brady arrived in style on his $2 million boat.

The parade featured the usual shenanigans -- until Brady decided to attempt an uncharacteristically risky throw. Here's the 43-year-old quarterback literally throwing the Lombardi Trophy over open water from his boat to a boat of Tampa Bay wide receivers.

As I watched that, I had the sneaky suspicion that alcohol may have been involved. ;) Chainfire Feb 2021 #6

I suspect the NHL and NFL may have to rethink boat parade celebrations (if they want to keep their trophies).

When the Seahawks won the Superbowl it was brought to Washington and I stood in line with friends at the state capitol to get a picture with it. They take very good care of it to keep it pristine.

No one was allowed to touch it.

So, the idea of Brady tossing it like a bottle of beer strikes me as disrespectful and white-trashish.
