Last year it was Tom Brady's wife, Gisele Bundchen, who made headlines after she was caught on camera responding to hecklers about her husband after the Super Bowl.
This year, it's Brady's wide receiver, Wes Welker, whose wife made the news.
Anna Burns Welker turned to Facebook shortly after the Ravens beat the Patriots on Wednesday, and took a few shots at Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis.
She posted:
"Proud of my husband and the Pats. By the way, if anyone is bored, please go to Ray Lewis' Wikipedia page. 6 kids 4 wives. Acquitted for murder. Paid a family off. Yay! What a hall of fame player! A true role model!"
Ouch. That is some Grade-A, high-quality sarcasm from Mrs. Welker.
On Monday, though, she apologized.
"I'm deeply sorry for my recent post on Facebook. I let the competitiveness of the game and the comments people were making about a team I dearly love get the best of me. My actions were emotional and irrational and I sincerely apologize to Ray Lewis and anyone affected by my comment after yesterday's game.
"It is such an accomplishment for any team to make it to the NFL playoffs, and the momentary frustration I felt should not overshadow the accomplishments of both of these amazing teams."
Riiiiiiight. . .
The apology isn't a shock, as the post caught fire before Welker is set to hit free agency, but it would have been refreshing if instead she came out on Monday and told everybody how she wasn't sorry at all.
They'll be plenty of other people praising Ray Lewis for the next two weeks.

****. Why apologize? You're telling the truth.
Ray Lewis is self absorbed scum bag.
Seriously, I may hate the Patriots and was certainly rooting my ass off for the Ravens on Sunday, but the endless line of media members waiting to suck Ray off has gotten really unbearable. The guy is a complete piece of sh*t and they're acting like he's God's greatest gift to us all. Screw him.
TL;DR amirite?
Excuses are the tools of the incompetent.

who will dress up in a white suit covered in blood and prance around New Orleans for us?
I say we take up a collection. Maybe put the JN logo on the back of the white suit.

I'm torn on this one - I agree with everything that woman said about the attention whore Ray Lewis but I can't stand her rat bastard husband....
whats to be torn about? She spoke the truth. Good for her. who gives a damn who her husband is.

This could create a problem for the media. How do you discredit her without addressing the fact that Ray Lewis might not be the second coming of Jesus?
