Eli Manning and Tom Brady postgame chat has fans thinking of third Super Bowl rematch

Eli Manning and Tom Brady are a couple of NFL warhorses who share a pair of epic Super Bowl match-ups on their distinguished resumes. The two future Hall of Fame quarterbacks also seem to possess a mutual respect for each other after the Giants' two dramatic victories.

Once again they met on the field — albeit a more serene environment — after they both sat out Thursday's preseason finale at Gillette Stadium, but it was their little postgame chat which has fans seeing something bigger.

"I didn't tell you this summer, but congrats on last season on the championship," Manning told Brady in the exchange. "It was awesome. It was a great game. Fun to watch. I'm proud of you."

And it was what was said as the two players headed to their respective Giants and Patriots locker rooms that has fans envisioning a third Super Bowl meeting in the future.

"See you down the road, I hope," Brady said.

"See you down the road," Manning replied.

The two teams do not meet in the regular season leaving only one option at seeing you down the road — meaning Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis. 

Talk is cheap but, whether or not you believe Manning's optimism or Brady's sincerity, a third meeting is quite a possibility for the two contending squads.

See you in February?

Referee robs Patriots of potential touchdown with ‘inadvertent whistle’ in game against Bills (VIDEO)

It looks like more than just the wind was blowing at Gillette Stadium last night. There were also "inadvertent" whistles and a referee's overinflated call to keep things swirling about.

But it was indeed a premature whistle blow during the Monday Night Football game that almost derailed the Patriots unbeaten streak before they managed a 20-13 win over the Bills.

Early in the third quarter, Danny Amendola caught a 14-yard pass from Tom Brady and was about to take off with an open field in front of him. But before Amendola could make his way down field, an official blew the play dead. It would later be announced as an "inadvertent whistle."

It was unclear why the whistle was blown, as no flag was thrown as Brady and Amendola were both well in bounds.

The confusion had fans, players and coaches in a frenzy.

In the end the Patriots were given the ball at their own 45-yard line where Amendola made the catch and then received another 15 yards due to an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty assessed to the Bills as coach Rex Ryan had stepped on the out of bounds line.

And is anyone sure vengeful commish Roger Goodell wasn't hiding out in the stands with a whistle in his mouth last Night?

But, more importantly, that play cost me 12.9 points and a win in my fantasy league.

That really blows.

Photographers storm out of Tom Brady event after delay: Report

While cameras seem to happily linger on the beauty of Tom Brady's wife Gisele Bundchen without complaint, apparently the shooters behind them don't have quite that same patience with her quarterback husband.

According to the New York Post, a group of annoyed New York photographers rebelled and stormed out en masse from an event where Tom Brady appeared to launch a new $5,450 watch on Tuesday night.

Page Six wrote:

A source claimed that 11 of the hard-working lensmen who showed up at Spring Studios for “brand ambassador” Brady’s TAG Heuer event bolted before the Patriots quarterback ever appeared for pics, after they were made to wait for his appearance. The grumbling started when a group of invited paps claimed one of the LVMH event’s fashionable organizers insulted their threads as they arrived.

“They said, ‘Where are you people coming from?’ — like we should be in a jacket and tie,” one shutterbug fumed. “We’re not the best dressed, but one guy came from a court stakeout. Nobody was in shorts and muscle shirts.”

While the extended wait took some of the air out of the event, some sympathetic servers reportedly offered hors d’oeuvres to the hungry camera crew — who were then chastised for eating them. 

“They were like, ‘The food is not for you, don’t eat the food!’ ” a Page Six source alleged. “For two hours we were forced to remain stacked on a 2-foot riser that several people fell off.”

And after Brady was “an hour late,” it was more than the photogs' stomachs that were grumbling.

“He’s a sports guy,” said the pissed-off source. “You think there’s people in France talking about Tom Brady? He’s not George Clooney. He doesn’t have an acting career. He’s not even Shia LaBeouf . . . If you want to see him, flip to your sports section — he’s there throwing footballs.”

That’s when the shutterbugs put the stop in F/stop and bailed on Brady, leaving in a huff.

“It was a tremendous act of solidarity that only begins to address the sometimes inhumane ways professionals are treated,” the source declared. 

And if you have ever covered a presser, you know never to cut off the chow line mid-event.

But another source countered that Brady was just 20 minutes behind schedule because interviews at the site ran over, and that only six cranky photographers stormed off. A rep for the event said, “We got every picture we wanted.”

Gisele Bundchen charging $700 for photo book of her modeling career

Patriots fans probably thought Christmas already came and went after Santa a judge tossed that Tom Brady Deflategate suspension down the chimney. But for the Pats fan who has everything, here's a $700 holiday gift idea sure to please.

Brady's supermodel wife, Gisele Bundchen, is charging that astounding price for a new coffee table book celebrating her 20 years in the fashion industry.

The book contains hundreds of snapshots, nude photos and even one picture of her wearing a large cheetah head.

Only 1,000 copies of the limited edition book will be sold, each of which will be signed by Bundchen herself.

The tome includes tributes from the 34-year-old Brazilian beauty's friends, family and famous fashionistas — which partly justifies the high cost, said the publisher, Taschen, in a statement.

And it will "shed light on how and why she has become one of the greatest models of all time," the Taschen statement added.

Jets fans will probably pool their money and buy it to see the naked pictures.

The pricey book will be available in November — just enough time to start saving up.

Miss America contestant says Tom Brady cheated, then wins pageant (VIDEO)

While Miss America contestants are usually peppered with queries about what they would do to make the world a better place but, somehow that all important question about Tom Brady and his Deflategate suspension being overturned made its way to the judge's panel Sunday night.

And Betty Cantrell of Georgia weighed in heavy on the issue of whether Brady used improperly inflated footballs on the Patriots' run to a Super Bowl title.

Cantrell said, "I'm not sure" when asked if Brady cheated. "I'd have to see the ball and feel it" she said, before adding, "If there's any question, then yes, he cheated."

VIDEO: #MissAmerica contestant says Tom Brady cheated. If she wins, I am moving to Russia. pic.twitter.com/XanDjvELpX

— Obnoxious Boston Fan (@realOBF) September 14, 2015

And then, she won.

Asked to clarify her remarks afterward, Cantrell said, "It was kind of a funky question to ask me if Tom Brady cheated. I'm not a football player and I really wasn't there to feel that ball. If there was any question as to whether or not he cheated and somebody else felt the ball and decided that it was deflated, then yes, I guess he did cheat."

Imagine if she was a Jets fan?

And speaking of New York, Miss Georgia's victory ended that state's win streak at the Miss America pageant. Last year's Miss America, Kira Kazantsev, was the third consecutive Miss New York to win the title.

Tom Brady sketch artist seeks to halt unauthorized use of image

Jane Rosenberg is accustomed to being around plaintiffs and defendants, but now the courtroom sketch artist might find herself on the pencil end of her own judicial rendering.

Rosenberg said Tuesday she hired an attorney who has sent out at least four cease-and-desist orders since she discovered companies have been cashing in by placing her infamous courtroom drawing of Tom Brady on everything from mugs to women's pencil-skirts.

“I was very surprised. I went online and Googled ‘Tom Brady sketch T-shirts,’ and a whole bunch of stuff came up that I had no clue there was,” Rosenberg said. “I had to do something about it.”

Rosenberg said businesses attempting to profit from her sketch had until noon Tuesday to remove items from their websites and store shelves.

“And if they don’t, it’s the next step,” she said, which could mean legal action. “I think it’s very dishonest for someone to sell T-shirts with my artwork. It’s too blatant. It’s a crime, and it’s just not OK. It’s my art, and someone else is making money on it without my consent.”

Rosenberg was overwhelmed by the unwanted Internet fame she achieved after the drawing of Brady sitting in court during the Deflategate hearings went viral. People said it looked nothing like the Patriots quarterback and a meme sensation soon followed.

— The Sports Geeks (@thesportsgeeks) August 12, 2015

Rosenberg got a chance to redeem herself and created a second sketch in the days following her first monstrous sketch. But, even then, some said the second sketch was still a bad rendition of New England's No. 1 son.

A federal judge last week dropped the four-game suspension sought by the National Football League against Brady for the Deflategate debacle.

Rosenberg, who lives in New York, owns the rights to the sketch. She hasn’t yet decided what to do with the original but told the Globe last month she has received multiple requests from people looking to purchase the drawing.

“I have no plans at the moment about what I’m going to do with it. I’m overwhelmed still, and it just keeps snowballing,” she said Tuesday.

Obama uses Tom Brady's Deflategate win as reference to boost unions (VIDEO)

President Obama used New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's victory over the NFL on Monday as a forum to boost unions.

The president, in reference to Brady's union, the National Football League Players Association, told a crowd during a Labor Day speech in Boston:

“You know if Brady needs a union, we definitely need unions,” Obama said. “Even Brady’s happy he’s got a union. They had his back.”

Obama: "Even Brady's happy he's got a union" http://t.co/Z728cLeCWQ #LaborDay #TomBrady via @Kevinliptakcnn https://t.co/4vIwzCP22R

Obama pitched paid sick leave and maternity leave and signed an executive order mandating paid sick leave for up to 300,000 employees of federal contractors.

The administration insists the move won’t add costs to business, but the National Federation of Independent Businesses said that theory is full of air.

“Mandatory paid leave is a great benefit for workers whose employers offer it. For workers whose employers can’t absorb the cost, it’s an arbitrary expense that will ultimately result in shorter hours, lower pay or disappearing jobs,” said Jack Mozloom, the group’s media director.

Deflated balls are in your court now Republicans.

Robert Kraft, 'Deflategate' judge mingle at Hamptons soiree: Report

It's only natural for Robert Kraft  to huddle up with the man who just might be the New England Patriots MVP this season — and it isn't Tom Brady.

The NFL team owner was spotted mingling with Judge Richard Berman, the jurist who overturned the league's suspension of Brady over his alleged role in Deflategate, at a Hamptons Labor Day party full of media and business power brokers, reports Page Six of the New York Post.

You might remember Berman from this court rendering:

The two were seen chatting at Discovery Communications chief David Zaslav and his wife Pam’s party at their East Hampton estate, also attended by Oprah Winfrey, Martha Stewart, Harvey Weinstein, Lloyd Blankfeinrich, NY Giants co-owner Jon Tisch and wife Lizzie, Katie Couric, and a host of other really powerful people.

Roger Goodell was no where in sight.

Brady won the court battle last week, after Berman criticized the NFL Commissioner for “dispensing his own brand of industrial justice.” The ruling clears the Pats' quarterback to play in Thursday’s season opener against the Steelers.

"It was a chance encounter at a social event with hundreds of guests," a rep told Page Six. "There was a brief introduction and an exchange of pleasantries that lasted no more than a couple of minutes."

Guests reportedly headed down to a beach bonfire, where the  Discovery’s “Shark Week” was celebrated with a soaring shark sand sculpture.

NFL leaves Tom Brady off photo of elite quarterbacks

On Sunday night, the NFL posted a graphic on its Twitter account showing seven of the game’s elite quarterbacks while posing the question of which teams could meet in the Super Bowl.

And guess what: The guy who won it last year wasn't even pictured.

A still smarting NFL somehow managed to leave New England Patriots QB and four-time champion Tom Brady off of its promotional post before deleting the tweet.

How's that for sour grapes?

Ridiculed courtroom sketch artist paints Tom Brady in new light (PHOTO)

The sketch artist mocked for her terrible rendition of Tom Brady in court is now ready to draw cheers with her new and improved rendition of the embattled Patriots quarterback's chiseled features.

Jane Rosenberg’s new portrait of the Super Bowl champion looks nothing like the monstrous drawing she did of Brady during the quarterback's first appearance in Manhattan Federal Court over the DeflateGate scandal.

And the New York Daily News has the proof:

The first sketch made the handsome four-time Super Bowl champion appear ghoulish — and turned it into an Internet meme sensation.

“I still found him very hard to draw — from a photo as well,” the sketch artist of 35 years said. “Something subtle goes on with his eyes. He has a big chin with a cleft in it.”

And like some NFL defenses, Rosenberg sees him more than she cares to admit.

“(Brady is) in my dreams, it’s a nightmare for me,” Rosenberg said. “I hope this thing gets settled and is over with.”

Whether that will happen in the next hearing will remain a mystery until both the player and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell appear before Judge Richard Berman Monday morning regarding the case stemming from Brady's suspension.

And Rosenberg will be there, chalk in hand.

“There’s a lot of pressure on me. A lot of eyeballs on me. I just hope my hands can move, period. I know I’m not going to have any sleep tonight,” she said. “I still might blow it; anything could happen.”

Ben Affleck's ex-nanny rocks Tom Brady's Super Bowl rings on flight to Vegas (PHOTO)

It's not just anyone who gets a chance to pose with Tom Brady’s four Super Bowl rings and, with the exception of wife Gisele, probably very few women.

But that's one of the perks of working for Brady's buddy Ben Affleck as his children's nanny.

The New York Post published a photo of the since-fired Christine Ouzounian posing with the Patriots quarterback's football bling on a private jet trip to Las Vegas with the actor and his BFF.

The smiling 28-year-old nanny is seen showing off the rings while striking a sexy pose on her seat.

The Post wrote:

Ouzounian had been in the Bahamas with Affleck and his unsuspecting, now-estranged actress wife, Jennifer Garner before the pair’s hush-hush jaunt to Sin City on June 27 for a poker tournament.

Affleck, an avid gambler, had initially asked Ouzounian to join him on a flight back to LA from the Bahamas — while his clueless spouse stayed behind with their three kids, a source said.

“He assured her it was OK. Technically, he was her boss,’’ the source told Hollywood Life.com.

“But along the way, he convinced her to go to Las Vegas with him for [a] poker tournament. They even stopped and picked up Tom Brady for the trip. While in Vegas, Ben hid Christine the entire time.

“When they got back to LA, Jen heard about their trip without the kids and flipped out. She fired Christine right away, and Ben did nothing about it,” the insider said.

Three days after the photo was snapped, Affleck and Garner announced that they were splitting up.

Affleck's rep has denied reports that the actor is romantically involved with Ouzounian, calling them "complete garbage" and "full of lies." Ouzounian, however,  has reportedly been telling her friends that she and the Oscar-winning actor's relationship did indeed become intimate.

Hmmm... Don't see any kids in the picture.

Tom Brady revealed real feelings about Peyton Manning in private emails released in DeflateGate case

In private emails released as part of Tom Brady’s fight with the NFL over his DeflateGate suspension, the four-time Super Bowl champion joked that Manning only has two years left while boasting about playing well into his 40s.

Brady wrote that his career will last at least five years longer than Manning’s. Manning is 39, Brady is 38.

The Patriots quarterback responded  to an article sent by childhood friend Kevin Brady (no relation) that compared the careers of the two future Hall of Famers, writing “I’ve got another 7 or 8 years. He has 2. That’s the final chapter. Game on.”

The message, obtained by the Boston Globe, was dated Nov. 1, 2014, the day after Brady threw for four touchdowns in a 43-21 win over Manning and the Broncos.

Maybe Brady was just talking smack with a buddy, thinking it would never get out. Or maybe he had some inside info since the Broncos quarterback is just three years removed from a serious neck surgery.

Two days later, Brady got an email from a blogger, Jay Flannelly who LOL’d about Manning needing “things to be perfect to succeed” and the Patriots quarterback didn’t disagree.

“We are some hard working grinders beav,” Brady wrote back. “That’s what our team is all about. Our best is still ahead of us.”

Brady, who is on friendly terms with Manning, might have spoke a little too soon about their Week 9 game being the “final chapter” — the Patriots visit Denver in Week 12 this season.

Patriots fan fires back at Jets, Goodell by flying banner of his own (PHOTO)

And the AFC East banner wars begin.

A Maine man countered the New York Jets group who flew a "Cheaters Look Up!" banner over the New England Patriots training camp last week, by hiring a plane to fly a banner over NFL commissioner Roger Goodell’s vacation home in Scarborough with the message "Comm. Goodell Jet Home To N.Y."

Richard Pate of Biddeford, Maine, wouldn't say how much it cost, but insisted it was worth every penny to poke Goodell after he gave Brady a four-game suspension.

And take a jab at the Jets banner as well.

"I went over to [a pilot] and asked if he'd be willing to fly a banner, and he was more than happy to ..." Pate told WCSH6. "You know, the irony is I don't remember the Jets winning many Super Bowls, maybe one back in the 60s."

While Goodell's home is under police surveillance, Pate said he hopes to fly the banner again on Sunday or Monday.

Despite being suspended four games for his role in Deflategate, Brady stretched on the sideline and wore his red practice jersey for the Patriots' opening training camp session. He took snaps under center, handing the ball off on his first repetition. Reserve quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo ran drills on the opposite side of the field as coach Bill Belichick looked on.

"Right now, we're preparing for today," Belichick said. "I'm not thinking about a month from now, a year from now, six months from now...I don't dream about something in the future."

Gisele Bundchen wore burqa on way to plastic surgery: Report

Tom Brady apparently wasn't the only one in his household concerning himself about deflated objects in recent weeks.

While the Patriots quarterback was trying to save face during an investigation by the NFL, his supermodel wife, Gisele Bundchen, was getting secret plastic surgery in Paris.

Bundchen and her younger sister reportedly hid under a burqa — the traditional Muslim wear — during the holy month of Ramadan — so they could get boob jobs without any publicity.

The Brazilian beauty wore a burqa so she could sneak into the swank International Clinique du Parc Monceau for work on her breasts and eyes, sources claim.

According to Page Six of The New York Post: 

A dead giveaway was the footwear — Muslim women are forbidden from wearing open-toed shoes.

A source said she was concerned that her breasts had sagged after having two children — and the surgery was a 35th-birthday and post-retirement present to herself.

Gisele and sister Rafaela were picked up by Bundchen’s longtime chauffeur at the Bristol Hotel and driven to the clinic on July 15, sources said. The photo below shows Gisele with the driver before she donned the burqa.

The next day, after the two surgeries, the trusty driver — who has worked for Gisele since at least 2010 — took the two women back to the hotel, where they packed up their belongings. He then drove them to the exclusive Les Sources de Caudalie spa, where Bundchen recovered for five days before leaving Paris.

The former Victoria’s Secret Angel, who made $47 million last year as the world’s highest-paid model, according to Forbes, paid about $11,000 for her surgeries.

And that's one DeflateGate problem out of the way.

On Friday, Bundchen was photographed in sunglasses as she and Rafaela strolled through Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris on their way back to the United States.

Gone was the burqa — which has actually been banned in France since 2010.

Her reps didn’t respond to requests for comment on Tuesday.

Tom Brady is No. 1 in NFL merchandise sales: Report

The DeflateGate scandal may have taken some of the air out of Tom Brady's title as Super Bowl Champion in some NFL circles, but seems to have pumped up the Patriots quarterback's selling power with fans.

That's because Brady is the top earner on the NFL Players Association's top 50 player overall retail sales list.

According to the NFLPA, the list is based on total sales of all officially licensed merchandise from March 1 through May 31. The list is released quarterly by NFL Players Inc.

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson had been No. 1 in the last quarterly rankings, with Brady finishing third.

Brady's No. 1 ranking was powered by him outselling all players in Oyo Sports mini-figures, Forever Collectibles bobbleheads, Fatheads and Lids custom player headwear.

Brady ranked second in Nike jersey sales behind 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Brady also finished second in women's apparel, trailing Kaepernick.

The complete top 10 in total sales:

1. Patriots QB Tom Brady

2. 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick

3. Seahawks QB Russell Wilson

4. Packers QB Aaron Rodgers

5. Broncos QB Peyton Manning

6. Texans DE J.J. Watt

7. Seahawks CB Richard Sherman

8. Giants WR Odell Beckham Jr.

9. Titans rookie QB Marcus Mariota

10. Buccaneers rookie QB Jameis Winston.

U2's Bono tries on Patriots Super Bowl ring before show

I keep forgetting, is Bono the Tom Brady of the rock music world? Or is Tom Brady the Bono of the NFL?

Either way, the U2 lead singer with the one name moniker got to sort of know what it's like to be the star quarterback when he tried on Patriots owner Robert Kraft's Super Bowl ring before a performance on Wednesday.

Bono rocked the #Patriots Super Bowl ring w/ Robert & Jonathan Kraft before the @U2 show last night! pic.twitter.com/iTqtWJeKNV

— New England Patriots (@Patriots) July 16, 2015

And there were no follow-up tweets, or theft reports from Kraft, unlike the last time he let someone famous try on his bling.

That's when Russian president Vladimir Putin reportedly stuffed it in his pocket and took off during a meeting in 2005.

"I took out the ring and showed it to [Putin], and he put it on and he goes, 'I can kill someone with this ring,'" Kraft explained at the time. "I put my hand out and he put it in his pocket, and three KGB guys got around him and walked out."

But no such problem with Bono. He's a humanitarian.

Tom Brady pumped up after Edelman touchdown catch (VIDEO)

For a while Sunday night against the Chargers at Qualcom Stadium, it appeared the Patriots were going to have a hard time disposing of their west coast opponents. And it wasn't until Juliane Edelman took this 69-yard catch-and-run from Tom Brady in for fourth quarter touchdown that the Pats finally took control.

And that's also when Brady went into one of his well documented fits on the sideline. This time in a good way — encouraging his teammates with an enthusiastic sideline stroll and no F-bombs.
