Tom Brady’s wife to Patriot receivers: ‘Catch the [bleep] ball’
posted at 1:50 pm on February 6, 2012 by Howard Portnoy
Another country heard from. Gisele Bundchen Brady, Brazilian supermodel and noted football analyst, was overheard after the big game tearing the receiving corps of her husband’s team a new one. The New York Post reports:
Fans can be heard yelling ‘Eli rules!’ and ‘Eli owns your husband’ as she made her way through Lucas Oil Stadium following the Patriots’ 21-17 defeat, the second time Giants quarterback Eli Manning has bettered three-time winner Brady on the Super Bowl stage.
The comments riled Bundchen, judging by video obtained by online gossip site ‘The Insider,’ with the model making it quite clear to those around her who she thought was to blame for Brady’s failure to land the win.
‘You [need] to catch the ball when you’re supposed to catch the ball,’ she is heard saying. ‘My husband cannot [expletive] throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times.’
Poor baby. While there is no denying that two dropped passes late in the fourth quarter were potential game changers, so was Brady’s decision on his first play from scrimmage to drop back and pass from his own 5-yard line, which resulted in a safety.
More importantly, Bundchen could stand to learn a life lesson or two. To wit:
- Ignore taunts, which—though themselves gratuitous—go with the territory of being a public persona.
- Never publicly criticize your spouse’s friends or the people he works with.
- If you going to share your opinions in public, do it minus the profanity.

Brady has zero Super Bowl wins since hooking up with Gisele.
I want him to get back together with B. Moynahan asap!

Gazelle proves that models are women gay men find attractive.
Broomsticks wearing trashbags.
With a personality to match.
Guess Wes Welker won’t be invited to dinner at the Brady household anytime soon.
“Please pass the potatoes. Whoops!”

She didn’t have a press conference to express her frustration…she was overheard…from what I read was a private conversation. I know taunting by fans of players happens all the time but their families??? I don’t get the Brady and Giselle hate…they seem like nice people. Tacky article and not worthy of even the Green Room.

Classy broad.

Now that Eli owns her husband, does that make her Gisele Manning?

This is obviously your first time reading an article about explative coming outta her mouth. She notoriously said that anorexic models have it coming, becuase it’s their own fault for trying to be something they’re not, and saying there ought to be a law mandating all mothers to breastfeed. He’s no saint either, leaving his pregnant model girlfriend for a non-pregnant model girlfriend.
There’s plenty of reasons to dislike these self-indulgent jackasses.

Not very nice, and it won’t help Tom with his teammates in the locker room – BUT – she’s not really wrong. Several Pats receivers dropped passes they should have caught, and did it on critical plays. Her presentation comes off as whiney – but she’s right.

This is why I don’t like him.

The information I found on this is that they mutually split up BEFORE she knew she was pregnant – but because it’s his kid, he was at the birth and has been helping financially from the beginning.

You mean Brady is meeting his minimum financial obligation as a sperm donor? Good on him!/////////
gryphon202 on February 7, 2012 at 2:09 PM
Technically speaking – more – since sperm donors have no legal obligations of any kind.
