TAMPA, Florida – In his first interview since the memorable launch of the Lombardi Trophy at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl Boat Show last month, quarterback Tom Brady told The Late Late Show with James Corden that he “can’t remember.” as well “as everyone else who watched the viral video.
Candidate Brady also indicated that he is not worried about the potential consequences of losing the most coveted NFL trophy in the waters of the Hillsborough River, which flows through downtown Tampa and feeds into Tampa Bay.
“First of all, I wasn’t thinking at the time. It wasn’t a thought. It was, ‘It seems like a lot of fun to do,'” Brady laughed on Tuesday night’s show. “Not to mention, when you get your hands on one of those trophies, there are a lot of very sharp edges on the bottom. … I found out later, if it was an incomplete pass, that would have come down like 80 feet I’m so happy that [tight end] about [Brate caught it]. “
Team sources told ESPN that if the stunt were tangled, Bucs would be willing to be replaced.
Brady also revealed that, like many others, he feels that his daughter, Vivi, could have been the best part of the video. Just before Brady lifted the trophy from his yacht on an adjacent boat, she was heard shouting, “Daddy, no!”
“This is my little 8-year-old daughter,” Brady said. “Who would have thought that an 8-year-old girl would have the most sense of any man in the whole area? That is, she is the voice of reason.
Brady was also asked if his sea feet or too much avocado tequila made him tremble from the descent, turning him into an instant meme that found its way into T-shirts.
“A little of both,” he told Corden. “It was definitely a moment of celebration. I’m glad I’m on land at that moment. Absolutely.
“I am happy to be surrounded by my fellow defender Griff [Ryan Griffin] at the right place at the right time. Who could have a better friend than that? Making sure I feel so comfortable leaving the boat like that. “
At the end of the interview, Corden asked Brady, 43, who is a year older than Corden, if he could ever be recruited to play in the NFL.
“To be completely honest, you have zero chances. Zero,” Brady said. “I think you’re so talented. I mean, you can’t be great at all.”
Corden then replied, “OK, I might not make it to Tampa, but could I play for the Jets?”
Brady replied, “You might be able to play for the Jets. You’re right about that.”
