Tom Bradyis speaking candidly about his antics while celebrating his seventhSuper Bowlwin back in February.
WhileappearingonGood Morning AmericaWednesday, the 43-year-old Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback opened up abouttossing the coveted Lombardi Trophyfrom one boat to another during a waterway victory parade that took place on the Hillsborough River in downtown Tampa, Florida, following the 2021 Super Bowl.
“That was not smart for a couple of reasons,” he continued. “One is if we drop it, that’s a little bit of a problem.”
“But the worst thing that could happen is the edges on that trophy are so sharp and had those things clipped one of my boys on the other boat, it would have been an ugly, ugly parade,” he added.
After the Buccaneers beat the Kansas City Chiefs at Raymond James Stadium to win Super Bowl LV, the Florida team celebrated on boats in a waterway parade instead of the traditional winners' parade due to the ongoingCOVID-19 pandemic.

During his time withGMA, Brady admitted to Strahan, 49, of the celebrations, “I had a lot of fun and I don’t get to do that.”
“It’s hard to relax and when you’re out in public, and there’s phones — not that I would do anything — but it still doesn’t feel like comfortable for me, my personality, to have people filming,” he said. “So I tend to just stay at home more and I don’t go out a lot.”

In hisGMAsit-down, Brady also spoke about his wife,Gisele Bündchen, and credited the supermodel withkeeping their marriage strong.
“I give her a lot of credit for that,” said Brady, who shares two kids with Bündchen, 40 — sonBenjamin Rein, 11, and daughterVivian Lake, 8. (He is also dad to 13-year-old sonJohn “Jack” Edwardwith ex Bridget Moynahan.)
“She’s the one that, you know, supports the family and, at the end of the day, makes a lot of sacrifices,” he added. “She brings out the best version of me.”
Brady also spoke about keeping his children “grounded” as they grow up, making sure that they know they’ll have to “work hard” in life.
He explained, “Mom and Dad’s life is very unique in this world. I don’t want them to take those things for granted. I want them to make the impact in the world that they’re gonna make. But they’re gonna make it in their way, too.”
