Cool first hand account of DeMarcus Ware and Demaryius Thomas on a trip to Africa after winning the Super Bowl:
THOMAS: Von [Miller] didn’t think we would go at all. He kept saying, ‘You know y’all ain’t going if we win, there will be too much going on here.’ He kept putting it in our face like, ‘You know y’all ain’t going to go.’ A couple other guys were talking about going to the NBA All-Star game, and I was like, I have a lot of chances to do that later, I’m going to go South Africa.
WARE: If we had lost the Super Bowl, we would not have gone. But that wasn’t going to happen. We had the entire trip booked by December. We had the cancelation deal so you can get your refund all set up. Every single thing we wanted to do to was booked, and we said to ourselves, ‘Hey, we did a lot of planning for this trip so we have to make sure we push through it and get this Super Bowl.’ As soon as the clock ran out in Santa Clara, Demaryius and I found each other on the field. Other guys were saying to each other, ‘Hey we won the Super Bowl!’ but it’s funny, me and Demaryius looked at each other and said, ‘Hey, man we’re going to Africa!’
WARE: And that wasn’t even our craziest animal experience. When we first got there, they told us to make sure to lock the door to your room because if you don’t, the baboons will open up your door and go and get your cookies. So I’m like, alright, cool. I was getting a massage in my room one of the days and I didn’t lock the door. All of a sudden during the massage, the masseuse, she yells, ‘GET OUT!’ And I look up and see a baboon as big as me, standing in the room on his four legs. And he was screeching out really loud, and baring his big huge long fangs, bigger than a lion’s fangs. He jumps up and tries to grab a cookie and she gets a pillow and throws it at him and he takes off running. She’s like, ‘That baboon never listens to me.’ It was like a normal day for her. She wasn’t even intimidated, but I was intimidated, that thing was huge! He was like my size! Then, about five minutes later, he comes up and knocks on the door again. He knocks on the door like a human! I’m like, are you freaking kidding me? And for the three days after that, he knocked on the door every day at the same time.
