The Tampa Bay Buccaneers celebrated their Super Bowl LV championship with a boat parade in the Hillsborough River on Wednesday. Leave it to Tom Brady to steal the show.

Brady is no stranger to championship parades after winning six titles with the New England Patriots, but he’s never been part of a celebration like the one the Bucs decided to throw. With Brady and teammates cruising around on boats to celebrate their upset win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, the 43-year-old quarterback decided to attempt one more pass.
Brady tossed the Lombardi Trophy from his boat into a boat full of his teammates, including Rob Gronkowski. It is so stressful watching this clip:

This was a high-risk, high-reward move by Brady. Imagine if he would have over- or under-thrown the trophy and it sank into the water? It would have been hard for Brady to live down that moment even with seven Super Bowl rings.
The Lombardi Trophy reportedly weighs seven pounds. Good thing he didn’t pull a muscle.
Here are some other scenes from the Bucs’ parade. You know Gronk was going to have a good time:
I guess if you win seven Super Bowls, the Lombardi Trophy doesn’t seem that precious anymore. Somehow, life always seems to work out for Tom Brady.

Maybe he was just battling his sea legs after spending a couple hours on a boat? It happens to the best of us.
This would explain why he tossed the trophy. These things happen when you hang out with Gronk.
