A drunk Tom Brady was also trending on Twitter after a video of him being helped off the boat was shared online. "Noting to see her...just litTle avoCado tequila," Brady wrote in his typo-laden tweet in response to the video. The media — waiting to get a question in — got no response as Brady only smiled and walked away. 

As a way to help prevent COVID-19 spread, the Bucs' first Super Bowl win in 19 years was celebrated on boats. Social distancing was stressed by Mayor Jane Castor, while masks were made mandatory. The riverwalk, unsurprisingly, had a huge crowd following the team. Some fans even bought their own boats, though they were asked to maintain a 50 feet distance.
