Gisele Bundchen

INDIANAPOLIS -- Glamour Boy is here and ready to play in Sunday’s Super Bowl. Glamour wife is out of sight — so far — unless you count the front page of the New York Post.

Super-model Gisele Bundchen landed the one cover she probably wasn’t after, gracing the tabloid with her “Tommy” after the paper got hold of an e-mail she reportedly sent to friends and family, asking them to channel their “positive energy” to quarterback husband Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the NFL title game against the New York Giants.

Brady and Bundchen have taken great pains to try to be a normal couple — well, as normal as one of America’s most watched twosomes can be.

They’re the kind of high-wattage stars who keep the paparazzi in business.

Yet they don’t have a reality TV show and they don’t do the party circuit, and she isn’t likely to show up at Patriots games in a form-fitting pink Brady jersey.

They’re almost — dare we say it? — boring.

He’ll talk about his parents, three older sisters, and his two boys, one with an ex-girlfriend, one with Bundchen.

But his wife? He seldom, if ever, mentioned her.

And never by name.

Asked at Tuesday’s media day if his wife had given him any advice, he said: “Throw the ball quickly. She doesn’t like it when I get hit very often. My guys up front do a great job of protecting me.”
