A Tom Brady Encounter, Part II

In case you’re tuning in late, please check out Part I of our pre-Super Bowl interview with Winnie McCarthy, for whom Tom Brady held open a door back in their college days.

GoS: Was Tom wearing cologne the day he held the door open for you?

WM: Not that I can remember, but he did smell very clean, like he had showered right before class.

GoS: Did you ask him out?

WM: Only in my head.

GoS: Why not? 

WM: Stupidity. However, if I had done so, I could’ve changed the fate of the NFL forever. What if we fell in love, ran off together, and he thought, “I am going to get picked so late in the draft I will never be a starter. Let’s go live in Hawaii instead!” I’d have said yes and well, where would the Patriots be then? Their fans should thank me for my restraint.

GoS: Indeed, thank you. Did you at least try to kiss him? Did he try to kiss you?

WM: I did not (see above loser-ness), but in the re-creation in my mind I did.  I’m sure that he would have kissed me, but I think he was very busy and had something to go do of some great importance. Yes, we’ll go with that.

GoS: Who do you think is better for him, Bridget Moynahan or Gisele Bundchen? Or that reporter who proposed to him, Ines Gomez-Mont?

WM: Um, me? (Don’t tell my husband) [Gos: Everyone on the Internet, you heard Winnie. Let's keep it among ourselves, OK?] 

GoS: Would you classify Tom Brady as a jock-jerk or a nice guy destined for NFL records and overall quarterback fabulousness?

WM: Based on my experience, I’d have to say that he is a nice guy. I mean, to hold the door for some plain short girl who you may or may not have seen following you all around campus? That is pure nice guy.

GoS: Thanks, Winnie. You’re the envy of swooning chicks everywhere. But now we want to know if you’ve ever met Bill Belichick . . .
