I am not impressed with celebrities or faux celebrities. (Yes, Snooki, by “faux celebrity” I’m referring to you.) In fact, I rarely pay attention to the ubiquitous celebrity gossip that permeates our press. However, the incessant reporting of Super Bowl 46 has made it impossible to avoid the celebrity fanfare.
Aside from Madonna’s superb half-time show, the media has been obsessing over Gisele Bundchen’s comments in defense of her husband’s Super Bowl performance. Gisele was caught on camera stating, “My husband can not fucking throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time.” Every time I see or hear a news story about Gisele’s comments, I say the same thing to myself: there’s nothing more enthralling than a woman justly defending her man.
When your partner’s honor is at stake, and you’re being harassed, you have two options: remain reticent or retaliate. I’m thrilled Gisele retaliated. Her moxie is magnificent. I love her brazen, take-no-shit attitude. The passion and protectiveness she has for herself and her husband is worthy of emulation. Brava, Gisele!
For a man’s opinion on this topic, I asked my husband, Rob, for his thoughts on a woman publicly defending her man. Rob said, “When it comes from the heart and is spontaneous, I think it’s great. When it is forced, like a politician’s wife standing up for her husband’s heinous acts, I think it’s disgusting.” To this I say, Bravo, Rob Johnson!
Super Bowl 46 was anticlimactic for Patriots fans. However, there was an unexpected takeaway from last night’s game: every good man deserves to be defended Gisele Bundchen style.
I love you Gisele-you are every red blooded mans dream. Tom is most fortunate.
My first reaction was that she was rude to her husband’s team and too harsh on the other players, but now that I think about it, she has a point. Her comments about the dropped passes were no doubt made by millions of sports fans. She just happened to be followed by paparazzi at the time. Her comment was actually quite reasonable. Many fans feel the same way all the time. She expressed understandable bias by failing to mention a few of the bad passes that her husband threw, including one for a safety.
There is nothing better than having a hottie who has your back!
I think she could have stood up for his husband/supported him without bashing the other guys on his team with her comment.

I completely agree with you Nicole. Ive always found women imbued with the warrior spirit (whether mental andor physical) Noble
