Before Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen’s divorce cast a dark shadow over the end of Brady’s NFL career, Tony Romo angered some fans by making an inappropriate joke about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback and the supermodel. While commentating on a 2021 Buccaneers game for “NFL on CBS,” Romo suggested that the then-couple should act out the plot of “Indecent Proposal” — but instead of one million dollars in exchange for a night with Robert Redford, Bündchen would get a football and a date with a fan.
Brady had thrown his 600th touchdown pass, and the wide receiver who caught it, Mike Evans, had tossed the ball to a fan instead of giving it to Brady as a memento of the momentous moment. Romo narrated a fabricated conversation between the fan and a Tampa Bay official trying to procure the ball. “What do you want, a million?” he said while playing the role of the official. “A date with Gisele. A date with Gisele, and I’m in,” he said in character as the fan. “Okay. Tom will do it. One time, you got it,” Romo imagined the official replying.

Of Romo’s attempt at comedy, one critic tweeted, “Yeah, not OK with Romo’s comments. They’re sexist and demeaning. Giselle is not property that can just be passed around.” According to Mike Stroud, the fan got some signed swag, season passes, and a $1,000 Buccaneers store credit instead of a date.
