Flowers and Football?
With all the talk of this weekend’s big football game, who would have guessed that flowers would be among the most popular media discussions?
Last week the NFL’s MVP, Tom Brady, quarterback for the New England Patriots (one of the teams gearing up for Super Bowl XLII this Sunday), received a lot of attention for delivering a white flower bouquet for his girlfriend, supermodel Gisele Bündchen.
The popular quarterback was photographed sporting a foot cast and carrying a wintry arrangement of mixed ferns, baby’s breath, white carnations and roses down a sidewalk in Greenwich Village toward Bündchen’s residence. Aside from the health of the football player (he insisted he’s fine and that he’d “have to be on a stretcher to miss this one,” referring to Sunday’s game), the question on everyone’s mind was, “what’s the occasion?” because the flowers weren’t for her birthday — it’s in July, not January.
Winston offered a potential motive: “Most of the time it’s for love, you can say it with flowers.”
And, Bornstein added: “It could be that he was busy practicing all week and didn’t have a chance to see her.”
Brady is a big proponent of flowers. He was last seen delivering flowers for his ex-girlfriend, actress Bridget Moynahan, while she was in a Los Angeles hospital delivering their baby in August 2007.
As for his current squeeze, Bündchen enjoys getting flowers, too — whether they’re a gift for her or a gift from her to someone else. See photo here.
