Anyone who watched Tom Brady deliver a Super Bowl win to his new team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, knows how much pressure was on him after 20 successful seasons with the New England Patriots. Fans finally got a glimpse of the fun side of the elite athlete after the game was over and he could finally relax. OK, maybe things got a little too rowdy, but no one was criticizing Brady for letting off some steam.

The NFL player and his teammates celebrated with a few (probably more) drinks and a boat parade, which was a perfectly socially distant way for fans to honor their hometown team.

It might not have been the smartest move, but we sure enjoyed watching it and his drunken stumbles once he hit land. A tipsy Brady is a fun Brady.
