I do feel bad for her and of course Tommy. I feel everything she says is blown out of proportion. I remember the Vanity Fair article that made headlines for absolutely no reason.

I don't remember any other article. But reporting on this isn't blowing it out of proportion IMO, it's just reporting it. I think she should know by now to be more careful w/ speaking out/talking in public assuming she's 'safe' :yes:
I'd be backing up my man too! :ghi5: quietly ;)

but its a luxury for everyone BUT her to support quietly- she didn't issue a statement or post it to twitter or facebook- she was simply overheard by a camera she didn't know was there and she was speaking in a corner waiting for an elevator... and the camera was just sitting their lurking behind her-- i doubt she would have said if she knew he had been there

^ no i think its just because it was such a touchy feely email... there isnt anything wrong with it at all- its just such a contradiction from the touch football image- i think thats what people are jumping on-

It may not just be about what she said. Certainly part of the judgement about her comments stems from her being judgemental about anyone who does things differently from how she does. In the past she has obviously put herself and her decisions head and shoulders above the choices many other people make, and that doesn't endear her to a lot of people. So her blaming the loss on everyone but her DH, implying that women who gain weight during pregnancy are "grabage disposals" and being outspoken about how there should be a "breastfeeding law" all come together to make her seem like the kind of person who would blame everything on everyone but her and the people she holds dear. Normally I wouldn't see this comment as a big deal, and it isn't that big a deal here, either; it just goes to show the kind of person she is, and a lot of people simply don't appreciate how judgemental she is about what she perceives as everyone else's mistakes while holding herself and her family as the epitome of perfection.

^I still don't understand why it's a bad thing to ask for prayers for your husband? :-s

Can someone please explain? I'm dying to know what the big deal is

It's kind of hard to explain why what she did was wrong (especially if you aren't really into sports) but I will try.

For starters, she isn't on the team and she doesn't have any right to criticize the teammates or their performance. She is a football wife, so her job job is to keep her mouth shut and support her husband off the field. Anything she says is an extension of her husband, so whatever she says kinda boomerangs back to him. He would be in deep shiznit if he made those kinds of remarks about the guys he has to play with next season.

Building onto that, her husband is arguably one of the best quarterbacks ever and here she is blaming the team's loss on the receivers. :nogood::tdown: If he is so good, you can certainly make the argument that there is no reason the receivers shouldn't have made those catches. Let's be honest, if the ball was thrown on target and just perfectly, they would have caught the ball. So for her to blame the loss on the receivers and more or less absolve Tom of any part of the loss, is just classless.

All in all it comes down to what she said was beyond stupid. Her husband is the QB. He's the leader of the team. So if the team wins, he's golden. But the flip side of that is, if the team loses, he suffers the brunt of that too.

ETA: Just saw what HauteMama posted and that certainly adds to all of it.

I understand she was just venting to a friend after being heckled. But how one responds, even in private, is evidence of what one really believes to be true.

She seriously thinks that her husband had no fault in the loss and that's extremely childish. She just comes off as entitled sometimes with the things she says. If something goes wrong, its someone else's fault. God forbid she, or her loved ones, have imperfections.

Re: the email she sent out, no biggie. Sappy, yes, but it was done with good intentions.

Oh i actually meant the prayer email thing. But I totally agree that what she said after the superbowl criticizing the teammates was not her place at all, it was pretty rude.
