We're just saying.

It's logical: you're never cursed if you're dating a supermodel, right? (We know, we're superficial.) Still, the evidence is mounting: since Tom hooked up with Gisele in late 2006, a brief rundown of what's happened: (1) Patriots blow a 21-point lead in the 2007 Conference Championship; the Colts go on and win the Super Bowl; (2) Patriots squander chance to close out a perfect season, in a game where little-known dudes like Jay Alford are all up in Brady's grill; (3) Brady loses an entire season to injury. OK, we know: since they started canoodling, he's also set a single-season TD record for quarterbacks and managed that brilliant game in San Diego in '07. And yes, we know the injury was a fluke. But you play for the rings, right? Bonus: watch this. Double bonus: in another example of potential girlfriend curses, Jessica is running her mouth about the Eagles.
