Bundchen comments still drawing fire
The story about Gisele Bundchen’s controversial post-Super Bowl comments has longer legs than the supermodel herself. Now, Giants players are being asked for their opinions. New York running back Brandon Jacobs said Tom Brady’s wife shouldn’t be talking about football. “She just needs to continue to stay cute and shut up,’’ Jacobs told reporters. Responding immediately after Sunday’s game to a fan who criticized TB12, Bundchen said, “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.’’ Giants defensive lineman Osi Umenyiora was more understanding. “I mean, that is her husband,’’ he said. “She is supposed to stay out of things like that, but at the end of the day that is their relationship and she has the right to say whatever she wants to.’’ Meanwhile, the National Enquirer today posted a story claiming that Brady was upset with his wife’s comments. Citing an unnamed “football insider,’’ the tabloid says Tom was incensed. “Tom prides himself on his professionalism and here was his wife screaming at reporters. He was embarrassed – and furious,’’ according to the source. “Out of sight of the others, he let her know it. ‘Zip it!’ He told her. He sacked her, telling her she’s got to keep her feelings to herself.’’
