When you win the Super Bowl, you can do anything you want – including drinking a $100,000 dollar bottle of champagne.

Members of the Seahawks, who partied the night away after the victory, were comped the expensive drink and seemed to be enjoying themselves in the process.

If the bottle looks somewhat familiar, that’s because the Boston Red Sox (specifically David Ortiz) had a bottle of Armand de Brignac in the locker room after they defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2013 World Series.

I’m not sure if this has become a tradition or it’s nothing more than a coincidence, but still pretty funny to see these monster athletes dwarfed by an even larger bottle.

Also of note – the NFL does not allow alcohol of any kind (even beer) into their locker rooms, be it a regular season game or after a Super Bowl, which is why you saw no liquor flowing during any of the post game festivities. If the Seahawks wanted to let loose, they had to do it at a bar, like pictured above.
