The Super Bowl is this Sunday, and on a gossip-level, I could not be less interested in the actual game. I want to see if there are any more ball-shenanigans and I’m interested to see if Gisele Bundchen is going to alienate a bunch of people again, but other than that… yeah, not interested. I’m probably going to go the movies. Still, let’s talk about Gisele! Back in 2012, when the Patriots lost to the Giants, Gisele mouthed off to a reporter right after the game. She was trying to defend Tom Brady and she ended up throwing his teammates under the bus when she said: “My husband canot f—king throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time.” Allegedly, the Patriots were super-pissed at Gisele about that. Obviously.
So is Gisele coming to this year’s Super Bowl in Arizona? Probably. Although she might only come on game day. On the NFL’s Media Day earlier this week, Tom was asked where Gisele was and he replied, “She’s at home [in Boston] taking care of everybody, all the kids. She’s gonna come out this weekend. There’s obviously a lot going on with media day and our preparations [here], so she’s taking care of the home front.” But OK! Magazine (I know, I know) claims that Tom would love it if Gisele would just STAY HOME completely:
The University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona will be completely packed for Super Bowl XLIX on Sunday, but New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is hoping one person doesn’t attend: his wife, Gisele Bündchen! A source revealed to OK! Magazine that Tom is “desperate” to keep wife from attending the game on Feb. 1.
“He knows there’s way too much on his mind to let Gisele become a distraction,” the source told OK! Instead, Brady asked his supermodel wife to watch on the television like millions of others with their three children.
“He suggested she watch from a remote location,” the source added. The insider said that Brady’s ban on Bündchen is because of her bad behavior on game day in the past. In 2012, Tom was mortified when Gisele was caught on camera dissing his team after they lost to the New York Giants, saying her “husband cannot f***ing throw the ball and catch the ball.”
“Tom knows all of Boston, not to mention that his teammates, were stunned by Gisele’s poor sportsmanship after the Super Bowl slipped away from them,” the OK! source said. Plus, the insider added, Gisele has not been welcome to watch regular season games in the players’ family box because she “doesn’t get along with most of the other women.”
And now that one controversy hangs over the Pats as they enter the Super Bowl (the Deflategate scandal, alleging the team deflated footballs during the Jan. 18 AFC Championship Game), Tom does not want anything else to go wrong.
I’m kind of torn. I would imagine Tom is too. Like, I do believe that he loves his wife and he loves how she passionately supports him, but he’s probably also aware of the fact that Gisele alienates a lot of people, including his teammates and their wives. In any case, Gisele is coming to Arizona, I have no doubt.
