Tattle: Gisele's not exactly team-ing with sympathy for Pats

FOOTBALL is a team game.

Strutting on the catwalk is flying solo.

So is it any wonder that superdupermodel Gisele Bundchen started finger-pointing after the Patriots' loss Sunday?

How could her husband, Tom Brady, have gone down in defeat without it being someone else's fault?

Heck, she'd prayed for him.

She'd asked her relatives, friends and fans to pray for him.

Maybe she should have asked them to pray for his team - for receivers Wes Welker, Aaron Hernandez, Deion Branch and for the linemen he needed for protection. For Rob Gronkowski's gimpy ankle.

But Gisele's not a team player. She makes millions having people look at her. Posed. Still. Occasionally walking.

She doesn't understand that,in a team dynamic, even if you're the star it's not all about you. You win as a team and lose as a team.

Or that maybe Welker would have caught hubby's pass (to virtually lock up a Pats' win) if the ball had been thrown a little lower. After all, Welker was wide open. He shouldn't have had to leave his feet and lay out for the ball.

Gisele didn't see it that way.

"You [have]to catch the ball when you're supposed to catch the ball," she said in a video on Insider.com. "My husband cannot [expletive] throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can't believe they dropped the ball so many times."

Believe it. Then shut up about it.

Let's see how focused you are on the runway if Justin Tuck is chasing you.
