The city of Boston today will host a Patriots Super Bowl victory parade that is "expected to attract about 1 million fans." The parade is set to begin at 11:00am ET and last "about an hour, ending at Government Center but without a rally on City Hall Plaza." This is the "same route the parade took" after the Patriots' last title in '17. Mayor Martin Walsh stressed that "no public drinking or marijuana smoking will be allowed." He also "asked fans not to throw beer cans or other projectiles, citing the cans that struck" Red Sox manager Alex Cora and the World Series trophy in November (BOSTON GLOBE, 2/5).
Patriots RB Sony Michel appeared on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” last night with the Lombardi Trophy. Michel told host Jimmy Kimmel, “Be careful with it.” Kimmel: “Don't worry, I will not destroy the Lombardi Trophy.” Michel said after the game, “everybody headed for the party” where Snoop Dogg, Meek Mill and Ludacris performed. Michel: “My mom, she was the party pooper, she kind of got tired, so my dad had to take her back to the hotel. My dad wanted to get lit.” Michel said at the party, Patriots QB Tom Brady had his “own VIP area at the top, so I kind of felt like a fan. Everybody had their phones out so I just I pulled my phone out, even though I just got off the field with him.” Michel said of today's parade, “I’m just trying not to fall off the duck boat” (“Jimmy Kimmel Live,” ABC, 2/4).
