As most of us are talking about Madonna’s halftime show or Cee Lo Green’s bling robe this morning. However, Super model Gisele Bundchen, wife to Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, created a stir this weekend. As most upstate New Yorkers around here are cheering the Giants’ win in the Super Bowl, Pats fans are in grief this morning. Bundchen and Brady were in grief after the game.
Bundchen was in so much grief that she apparently said to some hecklers:
My husband can not [expletive] throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times.
Earlier this week, Brady’s wife was in a different mood as she sent a message to friends and supporters asking for prayer for her husband. According to Fox News, an e-mail asked:
My sweet friends and family… I feel Tommy really needs our prayer, our support and love at this time. This Sunday will be a really important day in my husband’s life. He and his team worked so hard to get to this point and now they need us more than ever to send them positive energy so they can fulfill their dream of winning this Super Bowl. So I kindly ask all of you to join me on this positive chain and pray for him, so he can feel confident, healthy and strong. Envision him happy and fulfilled experiencing with his team a victory this Sunday. Thank you for your love and support. Love, G :).
If true, it sends a mixed message to friends and supporters asking for prayer and “positive energy” only to throw back some negative energy towards some unfriendly people.
As Christians, this is what entangles us. We engage in spiritual practices such as prayer or tell our friends about Bible study, only to turn around and let some words fly. Remember, football is just a game but life is not. The measure of our character is defined not by how much we look pious, but by our actions and words.
