How does that kind of a Super Bowl celebration compare to the ones up in New England? Well, it was definitely warmer for one. Brady recently appeared on LeBron James’ ‘The Shop and spoke about a variety of topics. Of course, his most interesting one was about a mystery team that seemed to ditch him last year.
However, listening to him talk about how he was able to unwind after the Super Bowl in Tampa Bay compared to New England was pretty insightful.
Tom Brady Jokes About New England’s Cold Weather During Super Bowl Parades On LeBron James’ ‘The Shop’
Brady had a wildly different experience celebrating his Super Bowl ring this year than he has in the past. The weather in New England at this time is often frigid, leading to a much more conservative and toned down celebration.

“I had been in the Northeast for 20 years. So it’s like freezing cold when we won and it was like 38 (degrees). We were freezing by the end of the parade like, ‘Get me home!’
“This one we’re on a boat. It’s 85 degrees. We’re drinking tequila all day. I’ve got the Super Bowl trophy in my hand. I’m in my boat. Chelsea’s where the other boat is and I’m like, ‘Oh, I’m going to throw it to my boys over there.’ So I throw it and the bottom of this trophy is sharp. It could’ve gone so bad.”
