Gambling911.com has in the past covered the Gatorade Bath/Shower history.
There is some dispute as to when and how the Gatorade Shower tradition evolved with one story suggesting it started 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.
Still, it was the Giants who helped to carry the phenomenon forward with all subsequent Super Bowls after Parcells was doused following 17 victories that season, culminating with Super Bowl XXI.
