The wife of an NFL quarterback is talking, and why are we listening?
Oh, right, because she’s smokin’ hot!
The Patriots say there’s no finger-pointing after their Super Bowl loss, even if supermodel Gisele Bündchen won’t abide by that code.
The wife of New England quarterback Tom Brady was caught on camera complaining that dropped passes doomed the team to a 21-17 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday — the Patriots’ second loss in the NFL title game loss in five seasons.
Late in the game, usually dependable receiver Wes Welker dropped a pass that went off his hands; Aaron Hernandez and Deion Branch also had trouble coming up with catches.
Bündchen was caught on video by TheInsider.com responding to a pro-Giants heckler after the game by saying, “My husband cannot (expletive) throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time.”

So how many seconds stood between British singer M.I.A. making a vulgar gesture to 114 million people watching the Super Bowl halftime show and no one noticing at all?
Talking Points is counting on its fingers … oh yeah, one!
That’s how close NBC censors came to preventing the gesture from being seen Sunday night, but the Super Bowl instead wound up with another entertainment oops moment. The gesture swept across social media, showing up in screen grabs and video, reminding everyone of Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction in 2004 when a nipple was exposed ever so briefly to a Super Bowl audience.
Back in M.I.A.’s native Britain, the London Times noted that while all eyes may have been on Madonna at halftime, “It was the extended middle finger of the British hip-hop star M.I.A. that caused the most controversy.”
