You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The 1985 New York Giants players made this famous by dousing then coach Bill Parcells after a 17-3 victory over arch rivals the Washington Redskins.

You can by an autographed picture of this Inaugural Gatorade Dunk here online



Jim Burt the Giants nose guard decided this would be an appropriate way to pay Parcells back for a weeks worth of taunting as a motivational tool by the coach when the Giants had completed this victory.

And this question necessitated an Anonymous asker?

I think the Anonymous feature is being padded. :(

Thorough answer though, as usual. :)

This tradition began in the mid-1980s when Harry Carson and Jim Burt of the New York Giants doused head coach Bill Parcells during the 1985 season. Burt's teammates picked up on this practice and popularized it during the team's championship season of 1986-87. The tradition gained widespread popularity, and now coaches at all levels get the shower.

@gokul2218 this answer is copy and pasted from this wikipedia article and I'm sure the author would not appreciate you passing it off as your own ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatorade ) the first paragraph of the Popular Culture section.

Please refer to the Mahalo Copying and Pasting Guidelines to learn how to properly cite a source or reference.
