I still remember watching Notre Dame face off against Alabama in the 2013 National Championship game at 13-years-old.
I couldn’t tell you what the score was besides the fact that ‘Bama beat the breaks off of Notre Dame, but I do vividly remember one thing….
College football broadcaster Brent Musburger absolutely drooling over how hot A.J. McCarron’s girlfriend (now wife) was.
Needless to say, Musburger got absolutely torched by social media, and essentially got thrown into horny jail.
And then, this past Sunday, Tony Romo found himself in hot water with his own comments about Tom Brady’s wife.
Former Dallas Cowboy quarterback Tony Romo, and now an NFL broadcaster, was covering the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Chicago Bears game, when Mike Evans caught Tom Brady’s 600th touchdown pass.
Evans wasn’t aware of the importance of that catch, and he went straight to the stands and handed the ball to a fan.
When somebody on the Bucs’ staff went back to retrieve the ball from the fan, Romo joked about how the fan should make a negotiation with the Bucs staffer so he gets something out of it…
A date with Gisele.
“A date with Gisele (Brady’s wife). A date with Gisele and I’m in.”
Tony Romo said he would want a date with Gisele to give up Tom Brady's 600th TD ball.pic.twitter.com/ahsmh7Zeox

Not gonna lie, I thought it was kind of funny, but it’s 2021… we can’t joke during an NFL broadcast. Tony should’ve predicted that like he predicts the play.
And let’s be real, there’s not a soul on this planet who doesn’t think Gisele, a former Victoria’s Secret model, is gorgeous.
So while it may be an obvious, harmless joke about Tom’s supermodel wife, some found it to be in poor taste.
Needless to say, the ol’ Twitter erupted:
A date with Gisele? Can we be more disrespectful @tonyromo ????

Tony Romo thinks Tom Brady is willing to pimp out Gisele to a random fan for a football.

Hey Tony Romo, I love your commentating, but that crack about offering the fan a date w/ Gisele to get back the football from Tom Brady’s 600th TD pass was in horrible taste. Do better.

unlikely to become a column, but the number of people saying the Bucs fan who gave the 600TD ball back should get a night with Gisele (incl Romo): gross. y'all literally pimp out your wives/SOs for memorabilia? really?

I really didn't like Tony Romo's Gisele Bündchen comment. #CHIvsTB #CBS

Tony Romo is making an uncomfortable amount of Gisele references

The remark about a “date with Gisele” was totally offensive and inappropriate. Romo insulted Tom, his wife and women in general with his comment. Romo needs to go away and the other guy laughing at the comment was so wrong.

Joking about offering a date with someone’s wife?
Off limits.— Dan Starkey (@danstarkey19) October 24, 2021
Tony Romo needs to be fired. His comment about trading Gisele for a football, was in poor taste & vulgar.

As far as the fan goes, Brady revealed on the “Manningcast” with Peyton and Eli Manning during last night’s Monday Night Football game that he got $1,000 gift card, some memorabilia, and 1 bitcoin (which is worth about $65,000 right now).
So while it’s not exactly the half a million bucks that ball might go for, he didn’t walk away completely empty-handed.
Tom Brady said the Bucs fan lost all his leverage once he gave up the 600th TD ball.
But Brady is giving him a bitcoin 🤑 pic.twitter.com/upGBpmcMDS
