Gatorade shower

New York Giants nose tackle Jim Burt dumped a cooler of Gatorade on head coach Bill Parcells in revenge after a 37–13 home win over the two-time defending NFC champion Washington Redskins on October 28, 1984.

During the 1986-87 playoffs, CBS broadcaster John Madden would use the telestrator at the end of Giants' wins to highlight the Gatorade bucket.

Coach Morriss was showered immediately before Marcus Randall threw a Hail Mary pass to Devery Henderson to win on the final play of the game.

After a game in which he hit a grand slam that provided the decisive runs in a 5–2 win over the Athletics on August 15, 2016, he took a broom from the groundskeepers closet and began combing an area of infield dirt.

The Australian NRL rugby league club Melbourne Storm's players have given their coach, Craig Bellamy, a Gatorade shower every time they have won the premiership under him, including in 2007,[8] 2009[9] and 2012.

[citation needed] Vladimir Guerrero Jr., a baseball player on the Toronto Blue Jays, is known for giving his teammates Gatorade showers after meaningful victories at home, often whenever they occur in walk-off fashion, where he would sneak up from behind them and then drench them as they were being interviewed on-field by a reporter (usually Hazel Mae of Sportsnet).

[14] An early variation of the Gatorade shower was adopted by Harry Carson, who had helped popularize the tradition, when he dumped a bucket of popcorn on President Ronald Reagan when the New York Giants visited the White House after their Super Bowl XXI win in 1987.

[16] The tradition has become a mainstay of the Super Bowl; so much so that numerous gambling websites have established various "prop bets" on situations during the game, most commonly involving what color the liquid will be.
