Tattooed nutter blames Super Bowl loss on Gisele Bündchen


Tom Brady fanboy turns against his hero

Tattoo Head

When the Dallas Cowboys crashed out of the NFL playoffs, the world instantly turned against Jessica Simpson (aka Yoko Romo) for distracting her boyf from his duties. Now, the NFL’s loopiest fan is giving Tom Brady’s missus the same treatment.

Victor Thompson, who is in the process of having Brady’s entire helmet design tattooed on his head, is distraught with his team’s Super Bowl performance, yet he doesn’t blame the team or coaching staff. It’s all down yesterday’s WAG of the Day, that pesky Gisele Bündchen.

WAG No. 23: Gisele Bündchen


This NFL WAG owes New York an eyeful

Gisele Bundchen

After yesterday’s morally-bankrupt dog lovin’ WAG, I feel I owe you all some hotness. Fortunately, Gisele Bündchen has been in the news this week, trying to worm her way out of some public streaking. The twenty-seven year-old Brazilian supermodel, who currently may be seen on the arm of New England Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady, said she would run naked through midtown Manhattan if the Giants won the Super Bowl. And guess what? She’s back-tracking on her promise:

New York Giants pull off Super Bowl shocker


While you were sleeping, Americans were getting all excited

 

In the televised build up to last night’s Super Bowl in Arizona, the New York Giants chose the word ‘resiliency’ to describe the road that led them to the biggest NFL game of the year. Quite why they didn’t settle with ‘resilience’ is unclear, but it seemed to work all the same, as they stopped huge favourites the New England Patriots from completing a perfect season with the last minute play shown above. Maybe next year, Pats.

The correct way to rent your house during the Super Bowl


Provide some tasty hos Super Bowl house of Strippers

This weekend, people will be flocking to Arizona from all over the States to enjoy the Super Bowl and all the festivities that surround it. Most hotels filled up months ago, meaning thousands will be seeking temporary accommodation elsewhere.

Competition is strong for the gentleman who wishes to rent his property for the weekend, so he must introduce a unique selling point to the package. Like close proximity to the stadium. Or a sumptuous cooked breakfast. Or maybe just a shedload of strippers:

No. 17: Jessica Simpson


Don’t mention this NFL WAG around Dallas Cowboys fansJessica Simpson

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo was adored by the people of Texas: aside from being a dreamboat, he holds team records for completions, passing yards and plenty of other esoteric-sounding terms that don’t mean much to the humble English chap. But last November, he decided to make Texan singer/actress/moron Jessica Simpson his WAG. And it all went downhill from there…
