"My Husband Can Not Fucking Throw The Ball And Catch The Ball At The Same Time": Gisele Is Pissed At The Patriots' Dropped Passes

Barry Petchesky — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:30:00 EST

This morning, the Patriots are talking dropped passes. Aaron Hernandez had one, Deion Branch had one, but most visibly, Wes Welker was hit in the hands on a long pass that would have extended the Patriots drive with four minutes left. It wasn't the best throw, but it was catchable, and after the game Tom Brady put it was gently as he could: "missed opportunities." More »

Lucky Psychopath Wins $50,000 On Tom Brady's Safety

Sean Newell — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 23:41:00 EST

Benjamin Lyons is either crazy, rich or both. According to his Twitter bio, he is a law student—so let's go with crazy. According to Business Insider he threw down $1000 on a prop bet, at 50/1 odds, wagering that the Giants would score the first points of the Super Bowl on a safety. I don't know what your bank account looks like, but $1,000 is about $975 more than I would put down on a silly prop bet. More »

Can't say anyone's seen this before, but it's apparently the right call, and the Giants lead 2-0. BTW, if you bet the first score of the game would be a safety, you won a 60-1 wager. [NBC] More »

Gisele Bundchen Sends Email

Barry Petchesky — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:05:07 EST

Gisele emailed some people about the Super Bowl, which her husband is playing in. One of those people forwarded it to the Post, which is how we got to where we are today. In a "disgustingly sappy email" (EXCLUSIVE//MUST CREDIT NEW YORK POST), Bundchen asked for some positive thoughts to be sent "Tommy's" way. More »

Man Named Tom Brady Says Thing, Radio Station Reports

Dom Cosentino — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:30:00 EST

"I'm Tom Brady, I'm from Staten Island and I predict Giants will prevail," Tom Brady told some poor reporter at 1010 WINS who drew the short straw. When you're scraping the bottom of Rick Reilly's barrel for Super Bowl week stories, it's probably time to rethink things. More »

Tom Brady's Punt Finally Brought Some Life To The Broncos Defense, If By Life You Mean Punches

Timothy Burke — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 23:36:43 EST

Blame Von Miller for this dirty hit that is an unfortunate coda to his otherwise spectacular season. But quick kicks always tend to result in some kind of craziness; like turnovers, they put players outside their comfort zone. In this case, it was reason for Miller to go on an assault mission, though in the end it looks like he took more than he dished out. [CBS] More »

Elvis Dumervil Made Tom Brady Fear For His Life

Timothy Burke — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 21:00:02 EST

Sure, the Patriots throttled the Broncos 41-23. But New England's victory didn't come at the expense of a little of Tom Brady's machismo, as the horrified look in his eyes upon this sack by Elvis Dumervil was more apropos for someone who wears Uggs. Which, I guess, means it's apropos—period. More »

Here's Tom Brady's Bitchfest With An Assistant Coach

Timothy Burke — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 16:14:17 EST

Up a touchdown late in the Patriots' battle in Washington, Tom Brady threw an interception in the Redskins' end zone then threw a tantrum on his own sideline with New England assistant coach Bill O'Brien. The two eventually had to be separated, though CBS analyst Dan Dierdorf would have you think this sort of thing happens all the time. [CBS] More »

HOLY SHIT TOM BRADY CUT HIS HAIR

Emma Carmichael — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 14:00:00 EDT

What does that face tell you? He looks guilty to me. Is this some form of self-inflicted punishment? Or is he punishing us? Did Gisele make him do it? Did Belichick make him do it? Did Jesus get jealous and make him do it? Did the Bills make him do it? Did ESPN The Magazine make him do it? Will the locks be donated to a phoenix's nest on the Brady homestead in Costa Rica? Is it possible that he actually only cut the bottom part, and that on top of his head is a giant strawberry blonde mohawk? Will he never throw an interception again? Is he available to pitch for the Sox tonight? Is this the end of the world? More »

Tom Brady Doesn't Need Wide Receivers To Pass For Hundreds Of Yards

Conor Hastings — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 10:30:00 EDT

Tom Brady and the New England offense destroyed fantasy football dreams across the nation last night. They beat the Dolphins 38-24, mostly because Miami had absolutely no idea what to to with the tight end tandem of Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski: They combined for 13 catches, 189 yards, and two touchdowns. And then there was Wes Welker. More »

Here's The Tom Brady UGG Commercial That Will Air On Monday Night Football

With music by ~~Mos Def~~ Yasiin, it features plenty of Steadicam shots of Tom walking. Tom running! Tom playing with someone's dog! Tom entering the locker room! Tom bopping his head to the beat, as if he had rhythm. The shoes are not eye-bleedingly ugly, like we've come to expect from Ugg boots, and music takes it up a notch. But we question the wisdom of debuting the commercial during a game in which Brady's playing, thereby opening him up to realtime mockery. [AdWeek] More »

Who Wants To Watch Tom Brady Cry?

Emma Carmichael — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 12:05:00 EDT

Tom Brady paused for a near droplet in an ESPN interview about his draft day in 2000, when he wasn't selected until the sixth round. Brady, who seems to be growing more expressive with age, paused to remember his supportive parents and needed a moment. He also entertained the idea that he would have been "an insurance salesman" instead of a Super Bowl champion with a supermodel wife had he not been drafted — but that's probably more of a night terror for him than it is a mid-interview breakdown.

Athletes talking shit to each other is hardly a new story. Every kid who ever played sports in high school knows that shit-talking is a time-honored tradition in competitive athletics. The winners shit-talk the losers; the losers shit-talk the winners; the fans shit-talk the players, shit-talk the other team's fans, shit-talk each other. Screwing with people's minds is an American pastime. More »
