Brady, who starred on Sunday, made a grand entrance in his new $2 million boat.
According to TMZ, the boat is a state-of-the-art watercraft and was named "Viva a Vida", which happens to be the name of Brady's wife Gisele's environmental conservation initiative. The boat even received a police escort prior to the parade down Hillsborough River. Brady's arrival meant that celebrations instantly began around him and it is fair to say that the 43-year-old did enjoy the proceedings. While his boat stole the show on arrival, it was Tom Brady who made headlines during the Bucs' Super Bowl celebrations.

Brady himself decided to have fun with the fans, retweeting the video and writing, "Noting to see her...just litTle avoCado tequila". This was Tampa Bay's first Super Bowl in 19 years, having won their first trophy in 2002. As for Tom Brady, he became the oldest to lift the Super Bowl title and the Super Bowl MVP, surpassing himself from two years ago.
