Brandon Jacobs: Gisele Bundchen 'Just Needs To Continue To Stay Cute And Shut Up'

Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen, Tom Brady's wife, made headlines immediately after the Giants beat the Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI for ripping New England's receivers and their dropped passes. Although Patriots wideout Wes Welker has apologetically addressed his own miscue late in the game, nobody with the Patriots has publicly responded to her comments. For some reason, though, Giants running back Brandon Jacobs did.

"She just needs to continue to be cute and shut up," he said during the team's victory rally on the field of MetLife Stadium.

With a little more than four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Welker dropped a crucial pass that could have helped New England put New York away. Receiver Deion Branch also dropped a pass in the final minutes.

As Bundchen made her way to the elevator after the game, she was caught on tape saying, "My husband can not f***ing throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time."

Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora also weighed in on Bundchen's comments. "She is supposed to stay out of things like that, but at the end of the day that is their relationship and she has the right to say whatever she wants to."

Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz, meanwhile, didn't seem too bothered that Gisele spoke out against his Patriots counterparts.

"It's cool. I mean she's defending her husband and I understand that. I wouldn't want it to be any other way."

UPDATE: Jacobs apologized on Wednesday for his comments about Gisele on The Doug Gottlieb Show.

"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."

Brandon should make himself a little more useful and a little less ornamental. The Giants running game was bailed out all year again by the receiving corps. Brandon had 571 yards this year. If he were a model, he would be a hand model. Brandon needs to focus on his role on the field because his stats are incredibly mediocre, and like the y say, NFL stands for Not For Long with his subpar career stats.

I agree with him, nothing worse then a woman complaining about players as if she is part of the team. Brady had to be shaking his head after seeing her do this......

I thought Brady was hurt when the sacked him and the shoulder was bothering him after. Just a little off on both ends can cause a pass not to be caught. Mr. Jacobs needs to zip his lip. She didn't say it to the media.

What she should have said if she was intelligence

It is just a game, there are more important things going on in the world today that need a comment.

But some people never thinks before they open their mouth (me included)

He shouldnt apoligize he is right. Where is her class its only a game you be supportive and accept loss with dignity especially since YOU WERENT PLAYING the game. Her comment was nasty and she remind me of one of those people who take sports way too seriously. No class whatsoever.

Hey Brandon.......put an egg in your shoe and beat it.

Thing is the NFL frowns on spouses or anyone else commenting in this way. It is a printed regulation, I'm sure that is what Brandon was reffering to. Having said that, the jerks who were harrassing her after the game are the reason for that statement by her. She was defending her husband and you just gotta apprieciate that.

Hey Bradon, why don't you learn from what your team mate Victor Cruz did when he was asked the same question. He's answered with class & grace. Something you need to learn. And why are you running your mouth, didn't you warm the bench through out the season? You got a ring but you really didn't earn it(and cheer leading didn't count).

She was standing by her man after being verbally attacked by someone. So what? Anyone who puts any value on what she says about football is over-reacting. She's emotionally attached to him and was defending him. Should she have done it? No, but her comments don't deserve all the attention they've gotten.

Football is a team sport, Giselle,

you get meat.

Giselle is probably a conceited, arrogant snob who wouldn't urinate on any of us if we were on fire. But I defend her right to speak her mind and the more she curses the hotter she is and the more I like it. She was actually right on; Brady cannot throw the ball and catch it at the same time. Her one sentence summarized the issue excellently. The passes to Hernandez and Welker should have been caught. Brady didn't lose the game. This was a case of instant karma for the classless way the Patriots handled the Underwood affair.

The Welker pass was bad.

She threw the team under the bus and thats OK with you??? Please...

To continue with your metaphor: She didn't "throw the team under the bus"; The team was already under it. So she tried to pull Brady out from under the bus but had to leave Welker and Hernandez to rescue themselves. Anyway I am a Giants fan, so I don't care but I was just trying to be objective. Those guys are millionaires and professionals so they should be able to take fair criticism. Welker (who responded honorably by taking the blame) and Hernandez dropped key passes which were well thrown. Brady in fact can't throw the ball and catch it at the same time.

I made peace with Kyle Williams the moment the Patriots were dropping passes that would have sealed the Giants fate. I have come to the conclusion that it was simply the Giants year. It started in Dallas with a block filed goal kick and then the pattern was emerging. In Green Bay it was dropped passes, fumbles and an end of the 2nd quarter Hail Mary for a TD. In The City, it was two costly punts that the Giants took advantage of. In the Super Bowl it started off with a safety for intentional grounding. We know what happened as the game approached 4 minutes.

So congratulations to the Giants. They were more lucky than good (and they are good) for that title. I think they won't be back to the Big Dance for a long, long time. There was a reason they had such a fortuitous run.

Thankyou rsttho557949 for showing some class. I wish alot of other Pats fan did the same. THe Giants were on a run and although I'm a Giant fan I did worry quite a bit about the Packers. But I felt just like their last Super Bowl run that this was their destiny. And there is always next season, although there will be some wounds to heal with the aftermath of what was said and the candy bar thing. Hey WES if they don't want you in NE come to NY we will take you happily ! Just like we did with Babe Ruth !

The fans are behind Wes 100% and he knows it. He's not going anywhere.

[IrishRed1952]

Fans are behind Welker and Brady and it will take more than amissed catch to send him off. All recent games between these two have been close. It's like Red Sox and Yankees. As far as I am concerned, Giants got lucky.

So Brandon, you're allowed to comment (albeit stupidly) without retribution, but Giselle is not.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Brandon Jacobs, Super Bowl Hypocrite.

Yes, but he's a lackluster runningback at best.

[paddles]

08:21 AM on 02/09/2012

So that gives him the right to do anything he wants? Don't think so.He should mind his own business.

If everyone else can speak his/her mind or do whatever, then why shouldn't she? #GiseleBundchen
