History of the Gatorade Bath
The Gatorade bath is said to have originated from one of two incidents.
In the mid-80's when Jim Burt performed the action on Giants head coach Bill Parcells after being angered over the coach's treatment of him that week.
Burt insisted that Harry Carson be the one to dump the Gatorade on Parcells, because he was a favorite and wouldn't get in trouble.
Former Chicago Bears defensive tackle Dan Hampton insists it was he who invented the shower, not Jim Burt. In 1984, his team dunked Bears head coach Mike Ditka with a bucket of Gatorade upon clinching the NFC Central.
