New England Patriots

Wine was chugged (Gronk). Shirts were ripped off (also Gronk). Tide Pods were thrown (who do you think?).

It's the New England Patriots Super Bowl parade in Boston -- and more than 1 MILLION people reportedly flocked to the streets to watch the champs roll through!!

Tom Brady talked about the event on 'WEEI' early Tuesday morning -- saying this should be the craziest bash yet ... his 6th Super Bowl parade in his insane Hall of Fame career.

Brady and Julian Edelman have already been partying it up in Disney World ... and Rick Ross raged with some of the players on Monday night. But, the REAL party goes down with the fans.

Team owner Robert Kraft rocked Meek Mill's "Championships" chain for the parade ... and we're starting to think he ain't giving it back.

Gronk lost his shirt about halfway through the festivities ... and even grabbed a police vest for a quick wardrobe change. Center David Andrews followed by goin' shirtless as well.

If this parade seemed a bit more "tame" this time around ... it's probably because Boston Mayor Marty Walsh asked partygoers to NOT throw beers at the duck boats to keep the dudes safe, right, Alex Cora???

The parade wasn't completely incident-free, though ... some Pats fans ended up duking it out in the streets!!

Win the Super Bowl ... party like a BAWSE!!

While Tom Brady and Julian Edelman are havin' lightsaber fights at Disney World ... their teammates got the VIP treatment at a Boston hot spot ... complete with an appearance by Rick Ross!!

Fresh off their 6th Super Bowl title in 18 years, the Pats jetted back to Boston and partied it up at The Grand.

Of course, Rozay LOVES the Pats -- he was at the center of Gronk's dance-off with Robert Kraft back in 2015 ... and the rap star says he "puked his guts out" partying with Gronk when N.E. won in 2017.

R.R. kept the tradition alive on Monday ... linking up with players like Trey Flowers and Ja’Whaun Bentley for the rager ... complete with a bunch of champagne and big cardboard cutouts of Bill Belichick's face!!

The guys loved every second of it ... keeping the party going all the way up to the parade on Tuesday.

Partying with Rick Ross ... that's the Patriot Way.

Tom Brady says being called the "Greatest of All Time" is a title that makes him cringe -- because he handles criticism WAY BETTER than he deals with compliments.

Goatie McGoatface was on "Good Morning America" with Michael Strahan -- who told TB12 he considers him the best QB who ever played the game.

Brady replied, "I don't even like that. It makes me cringe ... it makes me cringe."

Instead, Brady explained ... "I wish you would say, 'you're trash, you're too old, you're too slow, you can't get it done no more' ... and I would say, 'Thank you very much,' and I would go prove you wrong."

Strahan asked if he was driven by criticism more than success -- Brady replied, "Yeah, absolutely."

So, what's the lesson here? If you root for a rival team, stop the trash talk ... and start trying to kill Brady with KINDNESS already!!!

Of course, Tom just won his 6th Super Bowl in his 17 seasons as a starter. He also has 9 AFC championships under his belt, 4 Super Bowl MVPs and 14 Pro Bowl selections.

CeeLo Green says he should have chosen his words A LOT more carefully when he threw major shade at NFL boycotters ... in defense of his friend Big Boi.

CeeLo was on "TMZ Live" Monday, explaining a since-deleted tweet he fired off after Big Boi and Travis Scott performed in the Super Bowl Halftime show. He'd said, "@BigBoi yo big we riding wit you fam DO THAT SHIT! F**k these so called protesters you just got 100m worth of press. I'll kill for you."

Despite those extremely harsh words, CeeLo told us he meant no harm and was more trying to support his friend, than take a shot at Colin Kaepernick's supporters.

As you know, Adam Levine and Maroon 5, along with their guest stars, took a lot of flak from people boycotting the NFL. CeeLo says he was watching the Halftime Show when his emotions got the best of him.

Still, he faced huge blowback from people who were offended at the "so called protesters" remark. There were other artists -- most notably Jay-Z and Rihanna -- who turned down the SB gig to stand with Kap.

The count is up to two Patriots players who say they will NOT visit the White House to meet Donald Trump -- with a third leaning heavily toward no.

Star safety Devin McCourty told the Associated Press while returning to New England on Monday with the Lombardi Trophy that he will not visit No. 45 if the Pats elect to go.

His twin brother, star corner Jason McCourty, was a little less committal ... but still seems like he'll follow his bro's lead and avoid 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. as well.

"I haven’t thought about it, but I highly doubt it," Jason said.

Of course, New England safety Duron Harmon has already pulled out of the possible event ... telling TMZ Sports after the Super Bowl, "They don't want me in the White House."

Larry Fitzgerald is throwing in the towel on the G.O.A.T. debate ... telling TMZ Sports there's "no question" Tom Brady is football's best ever.

We got the future Hall of Fame receiver leaving the Super Bowl on Sunday ... and he says, after Brady beat the Rams for his record SIXTH ring -- there's no more debate.

"He's the G.O.A.T. There's no question about that."

Some have argued it's Jim Brown ... others say it's Jerry Rice, Joe Montana or Lawrence Taylor.

But, Larry says SIX championships in 19 years pushes TB12 straight to the top of the list.

The happiest people on Earth are now at the Happiest Place on Earth ... 'cause Tom Brady and Julian Edelman have made it to Disney World after winning the Super Bowl!!!

It's an annual tradition ... the big game's top players try like hell to fight off their hangovers and sleep depravity to make their way to Mickey's theme park to celebrate winning the Lombardi Trophy.

This time ... the Pats' MVP (Edelman) decided to bring his QB along -- and they're clearly having a freakin' blast!!!

The two have already hit up the Toy Story ride -- and had a great debate over who's Woody and who's Buzz Lightyear.

They also got a little lightsaber-training in ... and you'll never guess which guy chose the dark side's red saber!!!

Edelman and Brady will almost certainly be grand marshals in Mickey's parade through the Magic Kingdom later today as well.

Kraft had the bling, Gronk had the booze ... and EVERYONE was having a great time at the New England Patriots victory party after the Super Bowl.

TMZ Sports has footage from inside the event -- where you can see billionaire Pats owner Robert Kraft turnin' up with a giant diamond chain around his neck that says, "Champions."

Rob Gronkowski was living his best life too -- sippin' on a bottle of booze somebody passed off to him ... and telling people, "I am big pimpin'."

Snoop was the main performer at the shindig at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Atlanta -- along with The Chainsmokers and Meek Mill.

After the show, Snoop told us Tom Brady personally asked him to perform -- and he obliged ... because you can't say no to the G.O.A.T.

The food at the party was also lit -- we're talking chicken and waffles, mahi mahi tacos and an OPEN BAR!

Tom Brady's sixth Super Bowl win was BORING AS HELL ... so says Steve Harvey, who tells TMZ Sports, "Worst game I've ever been to!"

The Pats and Rams played a 13-3 snoozefest Sunday in Atlanta -- the lowest scoring Super Bowl ever -- that featured just one TD and 14 combined punts.

When we got Steve leaving Mercedes-Benz Stadium ... he was PISSED he wasted his entire night watching the football equivalent of paint drying.

"It was the worst game I've ever been to! No offense. No offense, man!"

Steve's real problem with the game?? He says Jared Goff and the Rams' O just straight-up weren't ready to play.

But, Jamie Foxx saw it MUCH differently -- telling us he ENJOYED the game ... and respected the defensive battle.

We also spoke with Usain Bolt and J.B. Smoove on the way out of the stadium -- they're more on Team Steve in this fight.

The good news for Harvey -- we're guessing the tickets were comped ... but even if he did plunk down a ton of cash on Super Snoozearama, he's rich.

He tried. He failed.

A New England Patriots fan tried to sneak into the team locker room celebration after the Super Bowl by taking a security officer's jacket and trying to blend in ... but he got caught.

Several people recorded video as the ACTUAL security team realized there was a FRAUD in their midst.

You can see the real security team question the faker -- and demanding he fork over the jacket immediately.

Atlanta Police Dept. officers were called over to help as the man tried to explain himself -- saying someone had given him the jacket ... but he never ID'd his alleged accomplice.

At one point the man tried to walk away from the situation, but he was stopped by officials who were trying to identify the man. He was a wearing a badge so it shouldn't be too hard.

APD tells us stadium security handled the incident and they're not sure if the man was arrested.

We're working on it ...

Of course, the Patriots have had locker room issues in the past -- investigators found that former TV reporter Mauricio Ortega had been habitually stealing items from Super Bowl locker rooms for years ... including a game-worn Tom Brady jersey.

YG was clearly sad after his Rams got killed in Super Bowl 53 -- but despite only posting 3 measly points, the rap star is staying positive about the team's future.

The SoCal rapper was leaving Mercedes-Benz Stadium with fellow Rams backer Tyga after the game -- and the mood wasn't as lit as they hoped it would be.

The good news ... YG insists Rams Nation is still strong -- telling us he's confident Jared Goff and company will return to the big dance in 2020.

"We good, bro," YG said while sippin' on his drink in the parking lot ... "We made it to the Super Bowl, we're okay."

"Next year, bro."

We also asked YG what he thought about the halftime show and whether he'd ever be down to headline the performance ... and you'll want to hear what he says.

Tom Brady's G.O.A.T.-ness just got even G.O.A.T.-ier, 'cause he and the Patriots have picked up their sixth Super Bowl win ... which looked just as good on the field as it did off of it.

The Pats beat the L.A. Rams Sunday in Super Bowl LIII at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium -- and while the score ended up being a mere 13-3 ... it didn't look like Tom and co. cared all that much by the end of it. A win's a win ... and that makes 6 for Mr. Brady.

Naturally, there was a lot of celebrating on the field immediately afterward. And of course, everyone was trying to get to Tom -- for a hug, or a comment ... or anything. Even Bill Belichick had to paw his way through a crowd to congratulate his QB.

After embracing each other on the field and receiving the Lombardi Trophy -- not to mention all the speeches that come with that -- the team eventually trotted off to the locker room for a champagne shower celebration ... but not before a boom box appeared.

Robert Kraft is reportedly handing out 50-year-old cigars right now in the locker room ... and the champagne followed shortly after. We're told the Pats had 100 bottles of Belaire to kick off the celebration!!

A former Super Bowl MVP is offering up FREE advice for all you degenerates out there ... 'cause Deion Branch says take the OVER on Sunday!!!

The ex-Patriots star tells TMZ Sports his former team will beat the Rams in Super Bowl XLIII ... and the score will be around 31-27.

Translation ... that 56.5 over/under that Vegas set is EASY MONEY!!!

"It'll go over," the ex-NFL receiver guarantees ... "All the people who are betting, take the over."

If you're into prop bets ... Deion's got some advice for you there too -- saying Tom Brady WILL be the MVP of the game.

And, if you want to live life dangerously and bet on an underdog to win the award over TB12 ... Branch even has the guy for you there too!!!

BTW ... Deion is confident the Pats are gonna win 'cause he knows Brady just won't let New England lose.

In fact -- he told us a hilarious story where Tom couldn't even handle losing to him in a game of ping pong!!!

Patriots owner Robert Kraft is spending his final hours before the Super Bowl dancing his face off with rap stars ... hitting the stage and showing off his moves with Cardi B!!

Kraft looked anything but nervous the day before the Big Game ... joining the "Money" rapper on stage at the Fanatics Super Bowl party in ATL, which was hosted by Sixers co-owner Michael Rubin.

There was hopping. There was finger pointing. The crowd loved every second of it.

As if Cardi wasn't enough ... Kraft had Meek Mill for a hype man pumping him up on the side of the stage.

Think this guy's worried about the game?

BTW -- we're told Cardi's not just having fun with Kraft and Meek ... she also made a significant donation to Reform Alliance, the criminal justice reform org formed by the 2 along with Rubin, Jay-Z, Van Jones and others.

Rob Gronkowski's played 130 football games in his legendary NFL career and Super Bowl Sunday might be his last ... so, is WWE Superstardom next for the 29-year-old?

Gronk's BFF, Mojo Rawley, tells TMZ Sports he would absolutely love that ... and Rob would kill it in pro wrestling -- IF decides to sign with WWE.

"If he came to join me in the WWE would I be happy? Yes, I would be very happy. I'd be very ecstatic. That would be awesome."

Gronk's been in the squared circle before ... he charged the ring at WrestleMania 33 in 2017 and helped Mojo eliminate Jinder Mahal in the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

As dope as it'd be, Mojo says Gronk ain't lookin' past tomorrow's championship game.

"He's gotta do what's best for him, and what's best for him is winning the Super Bowl on Sunday, and the Patriots are gonna handle them!"

But, after that, it seems wrestling could be a viable option for Gronk -- who has pondered retirement from football.

We've been waiting all season for this moment ... the WAGs of Super Bowl LIII!!!

There's a new meaning to Hotlanta this weekend ... with the wives and girlfriends of the New England Patriots and the L.A. Rams invading Georgia for the big game.

You've heard of the Giseles and Camille Kosteks of the bunch ... but, don't let those Pats WAGs superstars distract you from the heat over on the Rams' end, like Ndamukong Suh's girl Katya Leick and Brandin Cooks' wife, Briannon.
