Kurt Wagner is seen as a bit of a precocious young lad about the locker room, although he is consistently one of, if not the, youngest players on the team, he is usually one of the most mature athletes on the pitch. That does not preclude him from cutting loose once the season is over, however, and especially not in the case where his own team has ended the season in triumph! He will be popping bubbly wine with everybody else, and dancing on top of floats when they roll through their host city. A perfect mardi gras affair, even if he isn’t in New Orleans when it happens. I do think that Kurt’s full-bodied celebration wouldn’t last as long as everyone else’s though, because after the initial euphoria had passed, he would want to get right back to work so he could relax after another super bowl won, the following season. And only after he is retired, would he look back on all the effort with a sense of pride, regardless if he had gotten any silverware.
