Tom Brady says he's a little hazy on the details of his Lombardi Trophy toss during the
Brady, who is known for his fierce dedication to health and well-being, cut loose during the celebrations, culminating in his tossing the Super Bowl trophy across the Tampa harbor from one boat to another.
On Tuesday's "The Late Late Show with James Corden," he said he didn't really remember doing it.
"I don't remember that quite as well," Brady told Corden when the host moved an interview on from the day of the Super Bowl to the day of the boat parade.
"First of all, I was not thinking at that moment. There was not a thought. It was, 'This seems like really fun to do,'" he added.
"Not to mention, when you get your hands on one of those trophies, there are a lot of really sharp edges on the bottom, you know, where the stand is," he said.
"I found out later, had that been an incomplete pass, that would have went down like 80 feet. I'm so happy to Cam," he added, referring to Bucs tight end Cameron Brate, who caught Brady's trophy toss.
Brady also spoke of how his 8-year-old daughter, Vivian, tried to stop him from throwing the trophy.
In a video the Tampa Bay quarterback shared of the throw, Vivian can be heard screaming "Dad, no! Noooooo!" just before he lets go.
"Who could imagine that an 8-year-old girl would have the most sense of anybody in that whole area?" he said. "I mean, she's the voice of reason. Go figure."
Brady also discussed footage of his return to dry land after the boat parade, in which he looked a little unsteady on his feet.
At the time he blamed that on a "little avocado tequila," but on Tuesday he said it was perhaps a mix of tequila and not having his sea legs.
"It was definitely a moment of celebration," Brady told Corden before praising the support he got from his backup quarterback Ryan Griffin, who seemed to be holding Brady up as he came back onto shore.
"Who could have a friend better than?" he said. "Making sure I was just so comfortable walking off the boat like that."
