TOM BRADY: Catch!
[CHEERING]
JARED QUAY: Tom Brady and the Buccaneers enjoyed their Super Bowl boat parade like a bunch of fraternity guys. Brady completed probably his most important pass when he tossed the Lombardi trophy off his $2 million boat to Rob Gronkowski. Thankfully, Gronk made the catch and the trophy is safe for the time being. With Gronk you never know. You got to wait till at least Friday before we make sure that it's really safe.
ROB GRONKOWSKI: Yo soy fiesta. [LAUGHS]
JARED QUAY: Speaking of Gronk doing Gronk things, look at him getting it in at the edge of the boat. Man, how does he not fall in? When Rob retires for the second time, I bet he joins the circus with his own tightrope act.
Tom Brady, on the other hand, well, his legs were like jelly. Have we ever seen Tom Brady drunk before? I mean, I thought he was a choirboy drinking kale smoothies with that TB12 shake.
- It's supposed to be good for you so.
JARED QUAY: Apparently now that he's out of New England and out of Bill Belichick's grasp, Tommy boy is cutting loose. How many avocado tequilas does it take to get Tom Brady drunk? One, maybe two? Now, Gronk on the other hand, he might need about 12, 15 of them things. And just when you thought Tampa Bay's celebration couldn't get any crazier, it did.
LEONARD FOURNETTE: And guess what, he gets sacks with eight fingers. Don't [INAUDIBLE] him.
JASON PIERRE-PAUL: Seven and a half.
LEONARD FOURNETTE: Yeah, oh seven and a half. [LAUGHS]
JARED QUAY: Leonard Fournette is straight up clowning JPP for having less fingers than everybody else. And that ain't right. Did y'all even know the Mavericks hadn't been playing the national anthem before their home games this year? Neither did I. But someone noticed.
And then the NBA swooped in. Last night, the anthem was back before Dallas' game against the Hawks. Mavs owner, Mark Cuban, said that he stopped playing the anthem out of respect for, quote, voices of those who feel like the anthem doesn't represent them. That's pretty dope, Cuban. I mean, a third of their players aren't even American anyways. It's no wonder they're not singing the national anthem.
In all honesty, if everybody got their anthem from that team, you would have 45 singers lined up. The game's supposed to start at 7. It's damn near 8:15, and we just getting to the tip-off. I mean, I respect it. But, you know, some of them anthems get long.
