Brandon Jacobs to Gisele Bundchen: 'Shut up'

New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs, who apparently has time-traveled to this era from a less-enlightened time, knows a woman's place. And he's not afraid to tell supermodel Gisele Bundchen about it.

Bundchen defended her husband, New England quarterback Tom Brady, after Sunday's Super Bowl loss to the Giants, saying "You have to catch the ball when you’re supposed to catch the ball. My husband cannot ... throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times."

Jacobs has the following advice for Bundchen.

"She just needs to continue to be cute and shut up," Jacobs told reporters at the Giants championship parade in Manhattan on Tuesday. I'm guessing he then belched, hiked up his pants and watched a "Married with Children" rerun.

After his remarks, Jacobs tripped over his knuckles as he climbed back onto the championship float.

because I said that the previous post in the thread was the dumbest post I've ever read on DU....

So allow me to choose my words carefully regarding your post.

Your post is the second dumbest post I've ever read at DU.

He said he was sorry he said she should shut up. He said she has as much right to speak her mind as any other fan.

He wouldn't back off on "cute" though. And, at least that's accurate.

As far as Gisele, it's fine that she defended her husband. I disagree with her, though, for throwing his teammates under the bus.

she is calling him out?

Maybe she should be calling out pretty-boy Brady and whoever he has knocked up this week.

BTW, Jacobs is a douchebag, also.

No---

There were others that missed balls as well.

Douchebags who tell a woman they should shut up are just that---docuhebags,
