TAMPA, Fla. In his first interview since the memorable Lombardi Trophy last month during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ‘Super Bowl parade, quarterback Tom Brady said on’ The Late Late Show with James Corden ‘that he’ can not remember it just like that well “like everyone who’s seen the viral video.
The outspoken Brady also indicated that he is not worried about the possible consequences of losing the NFL’s most coveted trophy in the waters of the Hillsborough River, which runs through downtown Tampa and leads into Tampa Bay.
“First, I did not think at that moment. It was not a thought. It was, ‘It looks really fun to do,'” a laughing Brady said during Tuesday night’s program. “Not to mention, if you get your hands on one of the trophies, there are a lot of really sharp edges at the bottom … I’m so glad that [tight end] Cam [Brate caught it]. “
Team sources told ESPN that if the stunt went wrong, the Bucs would order a replacement.
Brady also revealed that he, like so many others, feels that his daughter, Vivi, may have been the best part of the video clip. Just before Brady picked up the trophy from his yacht for an adjacent boat, his audience shouted, “Daddy, no!”
“This is my eight-year-old daughter,” Brady said. ‘Who would have thought that an 8-year-old girl felt the most for anyone in the whole area? I mean, she’s the voice of reason. Go think. ‘
Brady was also asked if it was seaweed or too much avocado tequila that made him stagger off the boat, making him into an instant meme that has since been found on T-shirts.
“A little bit of both,” he told Corden. “It was definitely a moment of celebration. I’m glad I’m on land at that point. Absolutely.
‘I’m glad I’m surrounded by my fellow quarterback Griff [Ryan Griffin] in the right place at the right time. Who could have a friend better than that? To make sure I was just as comfortable walking off the boat like that. ‘
At the end of the interview, Corden asked the 43-year-old Brady, who is a year older than Corden, if it was possible he could ever be drafted to play in the NFL.
“To be honest, you have no chance. Zero, ‘Brady said. “I think you’re so talented. I mean, you can not be good at everything. ‘
Corden replied, “OK, I might not make Tampa, but can I play for the Jets?”
Brady replies, ‘Maybe you can play for the Jets. You were right about that. ‘
