Gisele Bündchen might be a trailblazing figure on the runway. But there was a time when NFL fans, particularly Foxborough diehards, were furious with her. It dates back to Super Bowl XLVI when the Patriots suffered one of the biggest upsets. However, the fans and the Patriots organization when the Brazilian supermodel broke the team’s code of brotherhood.
Tom Brady and Eli Manning clashed in Super Bowl XLVI during the Patriots-Giants collision. Brady slung a critical pass towards Wes Welker during the fourth quarter. However, the WR failed to grab it. That errant pass has been a source of contention amongst Patriots fans. But the post-game rant by Gisele Bündchen sparked a dispute within the Patriots’ organization.

She exclaimed, “My husband cannot f***ing throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times.” However, she did not holler directly at the fan.
