Coach Gisele?

Tom Brady's wife thinks the Patriots' receivers should catch every pass her husband throws.
Really? Is that what passes for a sports story these days?
If you didn't see or hear, Brady's wife, super model Gisele Bunchen, was being heckled by Giants' fans after the Super Bowl on Sunday. Gisele, obviously perturbed by the outcome of the game, said to no one in particular that her husband can't throw the ball and catch it, too.
It was her honest assessment of the game.
Don't blame her for saying it. She certainly didn't mean for it to go viral. She was just pissed. Lord knows I'm glad there's not a camera recording me everytime I get peeved.
But, there are actually sports stories turning her reaction into some sort of big deal. How do you expect her to react? She's a fan of her husband and his team. They just lost the Super Bowl. She's not in the mood to be politically correct, especially when she doesn't know she's being filmed.
Reporters went so far as to ask Patriot players what they thought of her reaction. Really?
"A super model said you should've caught that pass. Your thoughts?"
Well, gee whiz, I guess she would know.
If Tom Brady muttered under his breath how he thought the wings on the Victoria's Secret costume were too big, would that be big news, too?
Get a grip. We need to let human beings have human emotions and honest reactions.
