On Tuesday, the New York Giants and the New England Patriots arrived to a complete media circus in Arizona, where they will face off this weekend for the Super Bowl. During a press conference, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was fielding and deflecting the usual questions about strategy and his possible ankle injury. Out of the blue, a young woman clad in a wedding dress and veil shouted out a marriage proposal to the flabbergasted star athlete:

Early into Brady’s question-and-answer session, TV Azteca reporter Inés Gómez Mont asked the star quarterback to marry her. Did we mention she was wearing a wedding dress?

“Tom, I’m in love with you!” she howled. “Will you marry me please?”

Brady deflected the proposal about as deftly as he has dodged inquiries about his injured ankle.

And he blushed, just a little.

“Are you really? Wow. I’ve never had a proposal,” Brady said, fumbling for the right words. “What’s your name first?”

The wannabe bride was actually quite attractive, although probably either a little crazy or a bit desperate for some publicity. Tom gave her his best ‘aw shucks’ grin, and told her he was already taken. “I’m a one-woman man,” he said. Gomez-Mont responded by saying that she was the “Real Mrs. Brady,” to which Tom said, “There have been a few Miss Brady’s in my life,” and then moved on to the next question. The jilted bride later told reporters that she came to the press conference in the wedding gown, which was quite short and showed lacy white garter stockings underneath, “just in case he said yes.”

Brady dated and has a child with model/actress Bridget Moynahan, and is currently involved with Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen. It has been rumored that a Championship ring for Brady could mean an engagement ring for Bündchen. Sorry, Inez.
