It's easy, and only takes a few moments.so let me see if I have this straight, you say Giselle is wrong because she represents her husband and should be aware of her surroundings, even though she was not saying this in an interview or in front of a reporter or journalist. But it was ok for Jacobs to take a shot at a players wife, from another team in front of TV camera's and reporters. Thats makes no sense.
It's simple...she represents the QB and captain of the team. The QB would never be seen calling out a player publicly and when she's at these events, she's representing her husband.
Um yeah, No. What a team-mates wife says to her friend has no effect on players. She was not "calling out" players. I'm sure not one player on the team gives two flips about what the QBs wife felt went wrong in the game. This is a non-issue,and its very telling that this is what the media is focusing on. Bottom feeders with no real story.
Could I get something a little more educated than 'um yeah, no'? There's a little word called respect, look it up int the dictionary if you've never come across it.
She didn't say it to a friend, she snapped at a fan, who recorded it. You don;t know how it feels as a player to lose the Super Bowl...my guessing is it hurts pretty deep. Now when a team mates wife points the finger at you, it certainly creates an awkward feeling...these guys are human, not robots. If I'd have been Welker, I'd have publicly told her to (Please be quiet - edited) myself or told Brady to do the same...and I think Brady will be telling her to hold her tongue in future. If he does, then it is an issue.
Let me take a smaller example...if a best mates GF *****es about behind your back, is it ever the same when the three of you are in a room, alone together? No, it isn't. Think of it like that.
The Giants talked all week and beat us and now they're talking still.
Last year the Jets talked all week prior to our playoff game and beat us and kept on talking.
Once upon a time, when opponents talked junk, we'd beat the crap out of them on game day and they learned to shut the f@ck up.
If we want them to stop talking junk, we gotta take care of business.
We don't have enough of those players anymore that take these slights seriously. Instead we got this after losing the Super Bowl.

What this 'thug" is doing (basically) is calling Tom Brady a *****. It's just (yet another) way to do it.
Telling a guys wife to shut up in front of the entire country is about as disrespectful as it gets.
Jacobs is right, she should shut the hell up.
Is it just me, or does it seem like Brady is about the only player in the league who players from other teams feel like they can just openly disrespect. Over and over and over.
Can anyone think of another guy who players openly disrespect more??
I can't help but feel like race is involved in some of it, but that's a topic for a different day.
Brandon Jacobs is a bum. A bum blessed with a good offensive line. There's 15
running backs better than this bum.
As a Black-Hispanic woman I never thought about it being racial until you mentioned it, then I thought about it.
I doubt Cromaterie or Jacobs make these comments to Ray Lewis/Terrell Suggs...They wouldn't step to them because they know they would be laid out.
They would make these comments to the Bradys/Mannings/Rogers/Flaccos/Ryans of the world, but probably not Jeremy Shockey or Rob because they know the last two would step to them. Those quarterbacks aren't viewed as tough in the "If you talk mess to me, then I'm going to lay you out." sense. That's why they feel so free to attack them.
Look at the type of people Cromaterie and Jacobs come across as ghetto, tacky, and classless.
I'll give you an example- You would never hear Ed Reed make these comments.
I think it's jealousy and envy along with Brady's continuous non-response. I also think the Mannings get the same dissing just not as publically because they're media darlings.
No matter how you slice it to publically diss another man's wife in any context is just wrong. Or anyone's significant other really.
How would some of you men like it if some guy told your girlfriend/fiancee'/wife to "Shut up." in any context? What kind of man would you be to condone someone disrespecting your significant other?
Jacobs wasn't defending anyone. He was looking for press, to pour more gas on the fire, and to humiliate Brady which seems to be a favorite thing to do of nearly everyone around the league.
Jacobs is gleeful and nasty now, but will he still be laughing at the Brady's (who are set for life) when he's out of a job (probably in the next couple of months)?
Brady should just show up at his house unannounced and punch him in the face. You don't talk about another mans wife or girlfriend.
