I don't think it's a problem for sideline reporters to be attractive-being physically attractive doesn't inherently mean you can't be intelligent, and television reporting of all kinds is one of the few professions where men have to meet at least some of the same physical beauty standards as women.

ORLY?

Well, she was right, but it was still a douchebag comment. So I guess you can still call her a douchebag, just don't draw attention to her attractiveness while doing so.

People, farkers especially, seem to think that just because someone utters a true statement that they are automatically above reproach for it. That's not how society works. Either everyone here is Rain Man autistic or, I suspect, socially inept on levels psychologists will be writing about for years.

"She just needs to continue to stay cute and shut up."

And you just need to shut up, you dickbag.

bighasbeen: DamnYankees: Lsherm: Well, she was right, but it was still a douchebag comment. So I guess you can still call her a douchebag, just don't draw attention to her attractiveness while doing so.

It was not a douchebag comment. This was a person saying about their spouse, to friends, right after a devastating loss, that it wasn't all the spouse's fault. There's zero - nothing - wrong with what she did.

It was an impolitic comment. She didn't say it wasn't all his fault, she implied that it wasn't his fault at all and that all the blame laid with the other members of the team. There is already a preconception that Brady is babied both by the league and the media (I won't weigh in either way) and to have someone then immediately "make excuses" just adds on to that. It's the kind of thing which can cause problems in the locker room because you don't call out your teammates like that. Would you want your SO loudly talking shiat on your coworkers at an office party?

So you're saying he should have raped her?! Is that what you're saying? And that he should have slapped Erin Andrews until she made him a sandwich? Because that's what it sounds like you're saying, you sexist penis.

He said something that could maybe kind of be considered sexist, and he should be severely punished for it. Never mind that Gisele was being dickish too! There's moral outrage to be had.

/Why don't you go pee on Susan B. Anthony's grave, dick.

Why would a Patriot's fan be mad at her? I heard half a dozen Patriot fans say basically the exact same thing at the end of the night. Brady was the only one firing for them in the last eight minutes or so.

I watched "THAT" video, does that count as having sexually harassed Erin Andrews?

error 303: Why would a Patriot's fan be mad at her?

Never underestimate the provincial nature of Boston. If Brady had married a nice girl from Quincy and lived somewhere w/in the area, the two of them could be saying any damn thing after the game and it would accepted with open arms.

I still love the place, but goddamn there are a bunch of neanderthal lifers who live there and apparently have nothing better to do than speak fluent retard on WEEI and even question how truly Bostonian even Tom Brady is, since he's a California kid who lives in NYC and married a supermodel.

She was right, but none of the WRs can pass and catch the ball either. I mean that in the sense that its not like Brady had a perfect night either, and screwed up a points as well.

It sounds like the author only knows about Erin Andrews and not about the Robin Roberts and Shelley Smiths that are/were reporting for years.

Erin Andrews will you marry me??

She had her husbands back when fans were shouting insults and blaming him immediately after the game. Nothing wrong with what she said, in fact, I'd say it was admirable.

This is now a hot sportscaster thread.

Jacobs must have caught some heat internally because he already apologied, sort of:
Link (new window)

thought the "decapitated them " comment at the postgame was funny. Especially with his young kids in his arms.

According to Boston radio honks and fans Gisele is the Yoko Ono of the Pats:
Link (new window)

If I was Brady, I'd be more pissed about the crap Boston is giving her than Jacobs.

/She reacted to a heckler in a shiate moment and said what I imagine a lot of Pats fans were thinking.

If you're a Pats fan, and you're mad at Gisele, it's because you're sexist. a farking retard.

/sorry, had to fix the headline.
//you know who gets their panties in a bunch about 'overheard' comments from people they don't know personally? Retired broads. At bingo.

Igor Jakovsky: Jacobs must have caught some heat internally because he already apologied, sort of:
Link (new window)

During Tuesday's MetLife Stadium rally celebrating the Giants' Super Bowl win, Jacobs told reporters, "She just needs to continue to be cute and shut up."
But speaking on ESPN's "The Doug Gottlieb Show" a day later, Jacobs said he should have been more respectful.
"Given the fact that it's a colleague of mine's wife, I do apologize for saying that, because I shouldn't have said that," Jacobs said. "It's his wife and I should respect that just as much as anyone else. After all, once a man establishes ownership of a woman, it's not anyone's place to disrespect his property. And so I apologize to Tom from the bottom of my heart for insulting him through his biatch."

relcec: I think this idea that has popped up since the pats lost is nonesense. their receivers get more wide open than any other group I regularly watched all year. gronk and welker had more TDs, more yards, more catches of 20 yards or more, and more total yards than any other combo in the NFL last year. Brady had 5,200 yards and 40 TDs. seriously those guys were always open all year.

if tom makes a good pass to welker he maybe scores a TD, and almost certainly the game is over and we are talking about him as the best QB of his generation and maybe the best all time. he also missed on an important pass to branch. he had the interception to gronk. and had the bonehead safety. bad QB play lost the game, not a lack of deep threat. the receivers got open.

if you were going to crown him the best ever if he won, you need to admit he sucked when they lose because of him.

You're half right. Gronk is the hardest guy in the NFL to cover when he's on, and he was very clearly hampered by that ankle. That's not anybody's fault in particular, it's just bad luck. The one longish catch he did have looked all turned around and hardly had his feet under him. Great athletes almost never look that awkward if they're not compensating for an injury. They could have won anyway if Brady plays better, or maybe if Welker doesn't drop that one big that hit him right in the hands, but losing your #1 receiving option hurts.

DamnYankees: bighasbeen: It was an impolitic comment.

I'd agree, if she had said the comment in public. But she didn't. She said it to friends and it was overheard.

Important rule of fame: You are always on stage.

The Smails Kid: This is now a hot sportscaster thread.

damn, number 3 is incredible...

who do i have to be a fan of, to get giselle to sexually assault erin andrews?

/honestly not bad smack talk from a chick, i bet she talks dirty like a pro

scottydoesntknow: If you're a Pats fan, and you're mad at Gisele, it's because you're sexist. You also sexually harassed Erin Andrews somehow GET THE FARK OVER IT

FTFY Subby

/Gisele was right

She was right in the sense that yes, it is impossible to both throw and catch the ball and still win. She was so assbackwards by inferring that it was Welker or any of the receivers fault they lost. Brady started the game off with a 50 yard bomb to noone in his own endzone for a safety, followed by a horribly underthrown interception, and for the encore a 4 yard short and behind ball to Welker that he some how will get blamed for. Being Tom Brady must be awesome, nothing is EVER your fault!

I'm sorry Gisele and Brandon. I can't hear your blathering tripe while this awesome a$$ is speaking to me.

scottydoesntknow: /Gisele was right

Hmm, I don't remember Flacco's wife taking shots at Lee Evans for dropping the ball in the Championship game. Maybe she should have said nothing instead of taking a dump on Wes Welker who is Brady's most reliable target and saved his butt more than a few times.

But for non-sports fans, I guess it's okay for your wife to talk down about your team mates because they deserve it. Fark anything they've done for you in the past.

I haven't watched a down or any highlights since the last pass hit the ground, but Brady was bad down the stretch - something like 7 of 17. He fired the Hernandez "drop" way too hard, and Branch's first drop was tipped. He's holding on too tight. He's lost his edge.


Anytwats, If I were to rank the Pats poor play in order of, I'd go with:
Brady Safety
too many men (negated fumble & great field position)
Brady INT
Ninkovich offsides
Logan Mankins entirely bad day
Jerod Mayo's perfectly designed but missed pick 6
Brady's general performance in the end 3rd/all 4th - essentially everything outside his 16 completions in a row; how great was his great and how bad was his bad?
Play call - Benjarvis Green Ellis' goal line run to the right run that did not block JPP
Welker's drop

So I think Welker's drop was the 8th or 9th worst thing the Pats dealt with. If you can include Gronk's injury, Welker's drop is #10

Comparatively, the Pats secondary was pretty bad, but that was to be expected so I give them a pass. That list consists of things that not only went wrong, but were also pretty unusual for that team.

Gisele has some nice thingies in that picture.
