Tom Brady was doing an event for Under Armour on Wednesday and gave a very entertaining interview to Jimmy Traina of Sports Illustrated. The Patriots quarterback talked about his ever-popular hairdos, teammate Rob Gronkowski’s dancing and shirtless ways, and his rivalry with the Jets and Giants, among other subjects.

One of his best answers came when Traina asked about the report that his wife, Gisele, is pregnant with their second child.

SI: You mentioned you have two kids. There are rumors that you guys are having a third. I don’t know if you want to get into that or not.

Brady: I like working on it.

Based on that answer alone, you get an idea of the tone of the interview. Brady seemed very casual and real, and the whole thing was very funny. We highly recommend you read the entire thing.

Tom Brady’s wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, received a lot of negative attention for criticizing the Patriots’ receivers after the team lost the Super Bowl. The matter dragged out for a few days, and reports said the Patriots players weren’t happy with her.

Several months later, we’re learning that Tom Brady wasn’t happy with her either, no surprise.

Tom Curran of Comcast New England wrote on Friday about a story told to him by Comcast Bay Area reporter Matt Maiocco.

Apparently Brady addressed the Gisele incident at a panel a few months ago.

“Just before she goes to bed, she says, ‘Yeah, people were following me and I just said something I shouldn’t have said,’” Brady recalled, according to the report.

He answered, “‘I don’t care really what you said. Just go to bed.’”

“I woke up the next morning, I tapped her on the shoulder [and asked], ‘Why did you say that?’ She was talking about the best player on our team, Wes Welker, yeah. That was my most recent memory.”

As if losing the Super Bowl in heartbreaking fashion wasn’t enough, Brady had to deal with that mess. Things between Gisele and Welker (and presumably Tom) reportedly are cool now, but that video will likely linger.

Helmet knock to Pro Football Talk

Gisele is two months pregnant with her second child with husband Tom Brady, several Brazilian news outlets are reporting. The model apparently is in her home country Brazil where she’s supposedly told people about her pregnancy.

From the Boston Herald:

But sources told globo.com and Fabio Lage, who writes the “House of Models” column for ig.com.br, that Bundchen has told people about the pregnancy, including Givenchy guru Ricardo Tisci, who dressed the supermodel mommy for the Met Costume Gala in NYC on May 7.

Brady has a son with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan in addition to his child with Bundchen, so this would be his third. You figure with the size of the mansion in Brentwood, Ca. they were planning to have more than three people living there, and that looks like the case. No word from Brady’s hair on the matter.

Wes Welker made the interview rounds on Tuesday, and about the only item of real news he shared was that he is unlikely to attend the Patriots’ mandatory camp in June. But he also discussed his relationship with Gisele, the wife of quarterback Tom Brady, who infamously ripped the Patriots’ receivers for dropping the ball in the Super Bowl. Welker says there aren’t any issues between them.

“No, not at all. I know how she is anyway,” Welker told ESPN Boston Radio’s Adam Jones. “I’m certain my mom was saying some of the same things out there, there just wasn’t a camera on her. I wasn’t worried about that at all.”

Apparently Gisele was worried about how Welker would take the comments after they became public.

“I think she was texting with my fiancee asking how I was doing and I told her ‘Everything’s fine, except for this crazy Brazilian lady saying these things about me.’ We joked about it and stuff. We know how she is and we get along very well. It’s all good.”

There may have been some awkwardness, but the couples went on vacation a few weeks after the Super Bowl, so you figure things couldn’t have been that bad. As for Welker skipping camp, it probably won’t do either side much good; the Patriots probably won’t give him a long-term deal anyhow, and he’ll fall behind his teammates.

Wondering how Tom Brady and Wes Welker would get along after Gisele ripped the Patriots’ receivers for dropping passes in the Super Bowl? Apparently they’re doing just fine.

X17 Online published several photos of Tom and wife Gisele on vacation at their home in Costa Rica. The Boston Herald points out that Wes Welker and his fiancee, Anna Burns, also joined them.

Brady is the one wearing the black cap in the picture while Welker has a white cap. Typically we wouldn’t think too much about a vacation, but this is significant because it shows things appear to be fine between Brady and Wes. Welker is a free agent and expected to receive a franchise tag from the Patriots.

Kristin Cavallari is engaged to Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, so she knows what it’s like to be the girlfriend of a highly-scrutinized player. She saw what Gisele said after the Patriots’ Super Bowl loss Sunday and said she liked the way the supermodel stood by her husband.

This isn’t the first time she’s used Twitter to express a similar position. When the Bears used their first-round draft pick on an offensive lineman last year, Cavallari was ecstatic that the team was trying to protect her boyfriend.

The reaction to Gisele’s comments has differed. Some Patriots reportedly feel like Gisele broke the code of brotherhood. Other people like the way she defended her husband.

I like Gisele’s loyalty too, but like Kristin said, not when it comes at the expense of the team. She can leave it to the media and fans to point out that the loss wasn’t all on Tom.

Brandon Jacobs is a man of many words. In case you have forgotten, this is a guy who wanted out of New York a few short months ago. He wanted nothing to do with the Giants and admitted he was only worried about driving his “fast ass car.” Super Bowls seem to have a way of fixing everything, don’t they? Now that the G-Men took home the Lombardi trophy, Jacobs has focused his attention on running his mouth to opponents’ wives. It may be hard to believe, but he actually apologized for telling Gisele to “stay cute and shut up” on Wednesday.

“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 on ESPN Radio’s Doug Gottlieb Show according to Pro Football Talk.  “It’s his wife and I should respect that just as much as anyone else.”

Gisele should not have said what she did about the Patriots’ receivers, but Jacobs was also out of line. We had wondered if he would issue an apology for those comments in the same way he did with his decapitation remark, and it looks like he decided that was the best choice. Regardless of how inappropriate Gisele’s comment was, it was not directed at Jacobs and was none of his business. He either realized that or — more likely — someone had to tell him.
