Pray for Tom, Guys

[Chrispy]

"My sweet friends and family. 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. [...] I feel Tommy really needs our prayer, our support and love at this time. [...]

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."


The New York Post, as ever doing yeoman's service, obtained a copy of a "disgustingly sappy" email sent by Gisele Bundchen to friends and family asking them to send positive thoughts to her husband, Tom Brady, before Sunday's Super Bowl matchup against the New York Giants.

Bundchen's message reads like it was written by a guy selling art in the parking lot at a Phish show.

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."

As if being himself and waking up next to a Brazilian supermodel weren't enough, Tom Brady now needs positive thoughts so be confident, healthy and strong? That's like Warren Buffet's wife asking friends to pray for his wealth. Let the rest of us have some, Gisele!

By the way, can you imagine if Tim Tebow had a wife and was in the Super Bowl? And that she sent out an email chain asking for prayers, affirmations and positive energy?

Tim Tebow does this every week and everyone loves him.

Tom Brady's wife does it and it's going to be plastered all over the internet and Brady will now be blasted for it for some reason.

People are stupid.

 

[Champ]

Fuck Tom Brady.

 

[ralaw]

meh. I would yahoo sports even publish this? I can understand TMZ, but yahoo sports? Who cares.

Are you actually implying that Tebow doesn't take any shit for his outward religious beliefs? Please clarify and assure me that you are not trying to make that point.

What do I need to clarify?

I'll repeat what I said:

Tim Tebow does this every week and everybody loves him - see top jersey sales.

Tom Brady's wife sends an email out and now people are going to bash him for it and make this a huge deal.

For the record, I don't like it when people publicly thank god for a win or whatever because I think it is silly but I understand it's going to happen.

Tim Tebow shoves it in your face, though, unlike any other athlete I've ever seen. Brady's wife sent a private email out to what she thought was close friends and family. I have no problem with that.

So, we're gonna bash on a wife trying to get people to support her husband on a very important day in his job? For real?

Got it. So you are, in fact, saying that everybody "loves" Tebow for praying on the field.

Dumbest thing i've seen on this forum in weeks.

LOL not what I'm saying at all but spin it however you want to.

 

[ralaw]

W2B you and TailbackU are talking about two different groups. Yes, Tebow is ridiculed for praying on the sideline, but he is also equally praised for it by other groups. Much of his sensationalism is directly tied to his religion.

What I'm saying is this:

People want to like Tebow, they find a reason to like the guy even though he sucks ass and is probably illiterate.

People want to hate Brady, they find a reason to hate the guy even though he crushes ass and is fucking awesome.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Then what are you saying?

I even gave you a chance at clarifying.

You said Tebow does this every week and everybody loves him.

First of all, Tebow is hated by just as many people who "love" him. He's one of the most divisive athletes in the world.

Second, one of the reasons many people hate him is due to his outward displays of faith.

So your point is ridiculous and makes no sense. I would suspect that anybody who is annoyed by Tebow's antics are equally annoyed at this.

Tailback is falling apart at the seams, here. Maybe he's drunk again.

Bull fucking shit. Not only is this such a ridiculous statement because there is no way in hell you could ever prove it but there is nothing out there to even suggest such a thing.

Why? This has nothing to do with Brady. Brady didn't do anything here. It was his wife. And she sent a private email out to close friends and family. Tebow does his thing publicly and shoves it in your face. There is a huge difference.

Your love for Tebow is fucking hilarious. It's amusing to see a grown man like you, who is one of the smarter football heads on this site, get so wrapped up in Tebowmania. I honestly just drop his name in threads to watch you come running to protect him. It's too easy at this point.

Then again, you've always been a diehard wrestling fan, so I guess I kind of get it. This must be like reliving Hulkamania all over again for you?

 

[Tailback U]

You get worse with every post in this thread.

Have you never seen the guy interview?

He's a living, breathing, run on sentence. Everything he says is so cliche it sounds like he memorizes answers the night before, I really don't think he even knows what a comma is.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Bull fucking shit. Not only is this such a ridiculous statement because there is no way in hell you could ever prove it but there is nothing out there to even suggest such a thing.

Are you seriously suggesting Tebow isn't incredibly divisive, and widely hated?

Where have you been for the last 6 months? Dude, you are completely lost and have no feel for the world around you.

Why? This has nothing to do with Brady. Brady didn't do anything here. It was his wife. And she sent a private email out to close friends and family. Tebow does his thing publicly and shoves it in your face. There is a huge difference.

Again, I suspect that the same people who would be put off by Tebow's antics would be put off by this. The anti-religious types who think this sort of thing is goofy.

I'm not religious, but this type of stuff doesn't bother me. I just eye roll and move on.

no you don't

Never a Hogan fan. Bad workrate, formulaic matches.

 

[jaxjaggywires]

Tebow is such a big deal, he gets a potential Brady bitch fest turned onto him...that's special ability right there.

 

[ralaw]

I agree. For the most part people just hate on Brady, because he's an Adonis, who is a HOFer with 3 superbowl rings, who is married to a Brazilian super model....he's perfect. Brady just doesn't seem human to many people, so they hate. Tebow, while fairly attractive comes across as a flawed guy who needs his religion to keep him going....much like the common man.

 

[Tailback U]

I'm suggesting that way more people like the guy than hate him.

Again, I suspect that the same people who would be put off by Tebow's antics would be put off by this. The anti-religious types who think this sort of thing is goofy.

I am the anti-religious type. I have no problem with what Giselle is doing because it is private. I have a problem with people who publicly make God the sole reason for all their successes every single time a microphone is in front of them or a camera is on them.

Weird. Sounds like watching Tim Tebow play football.
