I don’t usually go to the Wall Street Journal for sports reporting, but anything can happen. On Thursday Jason Gay at the Wall Street Journal<\/a>\u00a0worte an article defending Gisele B\u00fcndchen’s statements defending Tom Brady (actually she wasn’t defending him, she was just blaming everyone else, but that is beside the point).<\/p>\n

Mr. Gay points concludes his article by saying:<\/p>\n

The last thing I thought was this: Wow, Gisele B\u00fcndchen really loves Tom Brady. She loves him in the irrational way that people who are in love love each other. She loves him blind.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a comforting, uncynical thing. Maybe you’re married, maybe not\u2014maybe you were married once\u2014but one of the things you want in a union is that kind of unconditional, unrestrained, forget-everyone-else support. Everybody should be lucky to have a fierce advocate in their corner, and you should be a fierce advocate in their corner too. Leave the measured consideration and the caveats to the friends and the shrinks. You want your spouse to tell you it’s going to be OK. To defend you when nobody else will.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even when it’s wrong. Even when it sounds like lashing out. Even when it’s the absolute incorrect thing to say. Because they’ve got your back. Because you’ve got theirs. Because that’s love.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m not saying she was right, I’m not saying she shouldn’t regret it. But the supermodel loves the quarterback.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fairy tale is actually a fairy tale. It’s so unfair, but it’s also pretty sweet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This really does put a whole new spin on the concept of ‘stand by your man.’ I live in Massachusetts, and although I think her comments were rather tacky, I think they are totally understandable under the circumstances. Massachusetts was a very subdued place on Monday. But at least we have a quarterback who has a wife who loves him.<\/p>\n
