RUSSELL WILSON AND CIARA
Not sure how most people celebrate their five-year wed- ding anniversary, but it is probably not like Russell Wilson and Ciara.
Last week, the Seattle Sea- hawks quarterback whisked his superstar, singer wife away to Venice, Italy last week, to celebrate their nup- tials in style.
While an Italian getaway oozes romance in its own right, the duo kicked it up a notch with non-stop glamour, at least one photoshoot, mul- tiple gondola rides serenaded by a piano accordion player, an opera singer and some masterful video documenta- tion.
Tom Brady,
Congratulations to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Back to Back. The Lightning may become a dynasty. Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Tom Brady is no stranger to cele- brating championships. The city of Tampa is getting pretty used to it as well since the Tampa Bay Lightning have won consecutive Stan- ley Cups, sandwiched around Brady and the Bucs winning the Super Bowl.
The Lightning finished off theMontreal Canadiens in the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday night to win the
franchise's third champi- onship. The official Stanley Cup Twitter handle didn't waste much time warning Brady that the 128-year-old, 34.5-pound trophy was too big and heavy to throw.
The official warning is much needed. In February, as the Buccaneers celebrated winning the Super Bowl, Brady, on a boat and maybe some tequila, tossed the Lombardi Trophy (which only weights around seven pounds, to Rob Gronkowski who was standing on another boat.
