Brady's wife blames receivers for loss.

[ohiosmith]

It’s the day after Super Bowl Sunday, so the media is busy wringing every last drop of hype out of its annual High Holy Day, dissecting ads, gasping at MIA‘s middle finger and Madonna‘s near-faceplant, and this: Gisele Bundchen, wife of losing Patriots QB Tom Brady, was caught on tape saying, through a barrage of Giants fans’ heckling, that “My husband cannot f**king throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time!”


(There was also a game; the Giants won.)

The exchange is all over cable news today, with much of the focus on Bundchen’s use of profanity and apparent blaming of her husband’s receiving corps, as well as her pleas, last week, for people to pray for Brady. In both cases, Bundchen’s remarks, for what it’s worth, don’t appear to have been intended for public consumption. The prayer request was made via email to friends, and she didn’t seem to be aware there was a camera on her last night.

Giants fans were heckling Bundchen about Brady’s loss, and she turned to a companion and said, “You [have] to catch the ball when you’re supposed to catch the ball…My husband cannot f**king throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times.”

Those comments might make things a little awkward at the next team barbecue, but as a Jets fan, I was more disturbed at the behavior of those Giants supporters. Heckling a player’s wife is not cool, and they were shouting “Eli owns your husband!”

1. Fans heckle.

I don't think what she said was cool at all. She should have just ignored them.

2. It would have been worse if those fans were drunk.

er, wait ...

Anyway, a chant of "Eli owns your husband" is pretty mild. Not nice, but it could have been worse.



At the next team barbeque, if she hands some brats and beer to the receivers, all will be forgiven. Those guys were probably using some choice words aimed at themselves at times.

3. She's a public figure on her own, she should know how to behave in public.

I can certainly understand wanting to defend a loved one, but these days if you're famous you have to assume anything you say outside your front door is being recorded.

4. Hilarious.

The best part is the water bottle swig.

6. Heckling a player’s wife is not cool....

clearly these people have never played football in Philadelphia where heckling is a way of life.

7. In fact Giselle it is possible to throw the ball and catch it yourself

if a defensive player touches the ball first, like the two passes tom had knocked down at the line of scrimmage

9. Tell that to Brett Favre. His very first pass as a Packer was to himself.

11. blaming your husband's co-workers is SERIOUSLY not cool

whether or not the "fans" or the reporter are being tacky to "heckle" is one question but it's WAY BEYOND TACKY for the wife to make trouble w. the husband's co workers

and to say that it's OK for the wife to backbite and gossip to a "companion" about what shitheads your husband's co workers are...no...it isn't...that is stuff that should be kept for deep dark in the middle of the night only to be discussed between you and your husband

the wife should NEVER be out there dissing the hubby's co workers

12. I don't know who in this story to cheer for.

Both sides seem to be childish in their responses.

13. She has a point. Really.

I saw at least two passes that SHOULD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT.
I mean they were on target.
Right there.
And they went through the Pat's receiver's hands.
jeez
Coulda been a game changer.
