The New England Patriots lost Super Bowl XLVI to the New York Giants 21-17 on Sunday night. The Patriots were able to move the football down the field multiple times in the game, but they did have some dropped passes that killed drives, including a late drop by wide receiver Wes Welker. Admittedly, Welker's catch would have been a great one as he lept and twisted through the air, but he just couldn't hold on to the ball.
"You (have) to catch the ball when you're supposed to catch the ball," Gisele Bundchen snapped back at a fan who was heckling Tom Brady. "My husband cannot (bleeping) throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can't believe they dropped the ball so many times."
Now the Patriots certainly had some drops in the game, as did the Giants, but I'm not sure it was to the point of ripping the Patriots wide receivers over. Welker did drop a critical pass, but one could argue Brady also put a bit too much air under the football.

Aside from the drop from Hernandez, Brady was throwing the ball off-target.
Behind the receivers, mostly. His fault.
And then God created Saturn ... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it. ... Always a ninja

You know what Yoko...
Keep your mouth shut. It isn’t up to the QBs wife to call these guys out on dropped passes and it will only create problems with Brady and the receivers.
Actually…..keep talking.
Too bad there hasn't always been a DH...then we never would have to hear about this Ruth guy...

So let me get this straight…
A fan was heckling her husband, she retorted by basically saying there was plenty of blame to go around, somebody overhead said retort, and now it’s news? Pretty weak.
Also, to anybody (Yoko, really?) that thinks she needs to keep her mouth shut in a candid, emotionally-charged-atmosphere needs to reevaluate where they are in their own relationship(s). Maybe somebody needs a hug? If it’s Mrs. Brady that needs said hugs, I’m available 24-7.
If we don't get our sauce, we ain't watching the game!

She pretty much blamed the receivers for the loss. Brady made his fair share of mistakes. And you know what? If my girlfriend started calling out my friends or coworkers out for mistakes that I was part of, I would tell her to shut her mouth because she doesn’t need to be doing that. I don’t need people I count on to hold animosity towards my significant other. It isn’t like she is random person off the street,
she was famous before she met him. She is a public figure and should know better than to spout off like this.
That isn’t saying there is plenty of blame to go around. That is flat disrespectful to the receivers saying that they didn’t do their job. Brady’s intentional grounding that got the safety was a terrible mistake. He missed targets, he threw that ball up for an interception….he did plenty and those receivers MAY think about that if they see this quote. Can you say that is a good thing?
So yeah….Yoko. Driving a wedge between a QB and his receivers. Ultimately, I’m all for it. Keep talkin’! Make it so they all hate her and by extension, him.
I still could use a hug though!
