Boom boom goes Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen's second wedding

It's not a party until the joint starts getting shot up.

Shooting a gun at someone(except in self-defense) is a crime. I hope that these security guards are punished. Look what happened to Plaxico....and he shot HIMSELF!!

this is all well and good but how's brady's knee?

Tabloid photographers trying to sell pictures, narrowly escape death? Somehow I doubt that's the story, but we'll see if it pans out. They should press charges if someone shot at them, right?

Too bad the shooter missed. Could have been a two-in-one!
They were stealing from her livlihood! I'll bet they change their ways.

What's with the multiple weddings? Give me a break. That what happens when you marry someone from a 2-bit country.

I am quite sick of the attention HE & SHE are getting. It's a nauseating circus. Every time you click to a new page here @ Boston.com you are looking at yet another photo of THEM.
To B.com: Please get over THEM!
Note to T&G - Stop preening for the cameras. Hollywood isn't going anywhere and at the end of your career(s) (which may come sooner than later), they will be waiting with open arms. Show some goddamned humility!

I would've been more concerned if Brady kneed the guys....the whole thing is absurd.

How much was the Brazilian magazine paying her? Must have been alot to protect the opportunity for more money with gunmen. Or was she donating the money to a worthy cause like Bridget did when she posed on OK magazine with Jack?

Maybe this is what the paparazzi need - to know that they can be shot at with impunity for violating personal privacy. They don't seem to be too concerned with other people's safety - sorry but I'm not too troubled about theirs.

Can't take Plaxico anywhere...

Good!! Glad to hear it!! maybe these psyco paparazzi with smarten up!!

Give new meaning to shotgun wedding.......

To PR: Multiple weddings and ceremonies are necessitated by the rules governed by the Catholic Church. Some US states also require the civil part of the wedding in the country of residence, while in other countries the civil wedding is assumed as part of a Catholic ceremony (as Ireland was until a few years ago, which now demands a civil ceremony in country or else your wedding is only a ‘blessing’).

I assume you meant energy independent Brazil was the 2-bit country?

Try a Google search before proving your ignorance.
POR's

2 bit country? Crawl back into your whole and drink your Budweiser which is now owned by a "two bit country"

You can take the girl out of the getto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the girl What did they have for wedding entertainment-gangsta rap?
Good goin' Tommy Boy, you picked a real winner!
Gisele, can we look forward to a smackdown with the Patriots' wives later this season?

Now now what about our fair boy Tom?

If a black guy (say Ocho Cinco) left his girlfriend just as she was about to deliver, ran off with Naomi Campbell, had two wedding receptions, and had a couple of bodyguard thugs shooting at photographers in Cancun, what would have been the public reaction? What would Roger Goodell have done to protect the innocent public from poor behavior?

And Plax only shot himself.

its hard to have any sympathy for the paparazzi. the world could without them.

Until the actions of the paparazzi themselves are ILLEGAL and they are punished for it they will not stop. What is this - the Biblical ages where "an eye for an eye" ??? Shooting at someone IS illegal and the only ones who should be punished here are the body guards. Anyone else who things otherwise should pack up and move out of CIVILIZED society. Make the rules and enforce them and then you can get rid of paparazzi.

Tom and Gis are hardly my favorite couple but it should be legal to shot Paps. Maybe it is in Brazil.

And if you mean two bit as in 2nd world Brazil does indeed qualify.

Tommy needs to grow a sack

Never bring a Nikon SL to a weddind without permission.

"If a black guy (say Ocho Cinco) left his girlfriend just as she was about to deliver, ran off with Naomi Campbell, had two wedding receptions, and had a couple of bodyguard thugs shooting at photographers in Cancun, what would have been the public reaction?"

Why did you change Gisele to Naomi Campbell?
The president of the United States is black. Stop blaming your failed life on everyone else.

The real question is if they took out the damage provision on the rental?

Brady didn't "leave his girlfriend just as she was about to deliver". They broke up and months later it came out she as pregnant. He's also been a strong force in his son's life; he obviously cares for his boy and spends a lot of time with him. He's being a good parent; and by all accounts Moynahan is pleased with how Brady handles being a parent. There is no bad blood between the two. If he was ignoring his kid and being a bad parent, yeah, you'd have a point.

As for the shooting - this is Brazil and things are done a little differently in South America. They're not the US. Brady didn't shoot at someone; not even his wife did. No court will hold them liable; so why would the NFL?

Just stop talking.

dammit plaxico...

Since when is it illegal to shoot at a venomous snake?

I agree, this is all well and good but how is Brady's knee. He should say goodby to Football and live as normal as possible. All it takes is one Matt Light screw up and Brady 's life becomes one of taking pain killers forever. Who wants a life like that ? Just for a game? Tom Brady has enough name recognition to make his way in many fields and be able to supoort his family. So health first, heroics last. What the rabid fans think doesn't count for a hill of beans.

Let's me lay out Gisele's publicity plan here:
1. she had bad press leading up to her wedding because of the VF article
2. little jack suprise guess at their wedding...how many times has she and brady gone to Brazile stayed at her villa and we don't see pictures of them sucking face, the girl tip of the pap's
3. headlines have gone from supermodel Gisele and her QB/QT wedding 2 to shot's fired at tom & gisele's wedding....look out for damage control...we will see the sweetest photo's of Gisele, Tom & Jack and the headline the "Brady Bunch" an their imaginary friends saying how beautiful of a family they are, eventhough the childs legal last name is Moynahan.....statetune folks

Seems the paparazzi brought a Nikon to a gun fight. I think they deserve to be shot at, but its probably illegal, even in Brazil, but who knows.

I would have rooted for the body guard if he shot out their tires so they couldn't get away without giving up the film. Shooting through the car is a little to risky in terms of possible loss of life.

I dunno. All this drama. I think we kept the wrong guy.

Second wedding. Does this mean that they have 2 anniversaries a year?

PR: When's the last time you went to a Catholic wedding or a wedding where a priest and minister performed the ceremony not in a church? Was a priest there?

Gisele should have hired Don Barzini's security personnel or Sonny Corleone to get rid of the film and cameras like they did at the Corleone wedding - and those were FBI photographers they had to deal with, not amateur paparazzi leeches like Rolando and Uri. No worries though - The gunshot split the uprights - just like Vinatieri's 3 Super Bowl winning field goals tee'd up heretofore by the groom's clutch talent. No harm done here. Just another tricky day....Get your priorities straight - NFL Draft day approaches. The Pats will run the table again this year and all will be well with the universe. Lighten up people.

This was Costa Rica and not Brazil. As for
ghetto" and "2-bit country", Gisele came from a middle class German-Brazilian familyin the south of Brazil and she is one of the richest women in the world. Tom did very well for himself here. They're a lovely couple.

I heard Peter Griffin was behind the whole thing! Shouldnt have traded him to London!

1) Most Paparazzi haven't used "Film" since the late 90s.

2) Blanche and TMB: You are right that it's against the law to shoot someone unless it's self defense IN MASSACHUSETTS. Some states (namely Texas) allow you to shoot somebody in the back, if they are stealing your property. What do you think the laws are like in Brazil?

3) LION KING18: Please explain how these pictures compromise her career? Please don't call it her "livelihood", as she's no longer depedant on her career to live, even to sustain her lavish lifestyle.

Mr. Negative, what "MrAlSharpton" was already taken. Just sit back, don't bother reading and mutter, "racism, racism" about everything. Better yet, go hang with OJ and complain about the lost Hertz gig, wailing how Ted Bundy wouldn't have been fired.

paparazzi...kill them all

Remember back when Brady just played football.... that was cool.

I am a huge Pats fan and believer in Brady.....till now.
Tom is not the same. He has sold his soul for a model and cannot be counted on anymore. Too bad. What a disgrace!

Not being familiar with Costa Rican law I won't comment on the legality of chasing undersirables off your property with gunfire. Personally, I'm in favor of it, and I certainly harbor no sympathy for belligerent photographers who scream about their own rights while violating the privacy of others. What I would really like to see is more football-related coverage of Brady and less of this TMZ nonsense.

This is a pretty crazy story, no matter whose wedding it was...

They trespassed, took unauthorized pictures of a private wedding. They were asked to turn over the film. Instead, they ran away and their car was shot at. Their car, not them. If security wanted to hit them they would have. They got what they deserved.

Someone takes a shot at a couple of lowlife paparazzi's? Where's the crime? It's probably the only way that those vermin can be stopped. Invasion of someones privacy is not to be trifled with. It's too bad somebody waited until now to start culling the herd of morons who endlessly chase and harass people all over the world. If they had started shooting at paparazzi twenty years ago Princess Diana might still be alive today.

So ... does this mean no pictures?

I'm not so sure the Pats traded the right QB. TB's spent the past year surfing, modelling, marrying, partying and marrying. In the meatime, there are a lot of hungry ballplayers spending their time working out, studying film, etc.

Good, the paparazzi are dangerous criminals that need to be kept in check by some means. They have no regard for the safety of their subjects and should be treated as a threat. For those that are sick of seeing the happy couple, blame the paparazzi for keeping them in the news, not ToSele.

I can respect their need for privacy, until I read that Gisele is selling the pictures to a magazine of her choice. Once you do that, I have no sympathy for their privacy. They contribute to the circus.

They should have shoot these crazy paps in the heads, I hope this teaches them a lesson.

Sounds like it was getting late in the game so Brady went to the 'gun.

I heard Belichick watched Brady's wedding night video and only watched his knee.

Wow, Bridget is tougher than i thought!

What is a Suzuki jeep?

Tom has become a big fan of brasilian cachaca, does Costa Rica produce any decent cane likker? A sick targedy on their second wedding day would probably have upped the wedding parties consumption , No?

To my admirer "PRs a Tool": Brazil's culture of dumping children leaving them homeless and roaming the streets doing anything - and I mean anything- for money is what makes them a 2-bit country. I'd hardly call Google an end all say all authority on anything but I suppose you also consider Wikipedia to be reliable as well.

James, I do not drink swill beer either.

Does it anyone remember that there was a child at this ceremony.? Guns and babies are never a good idea. It doen's matter how their fans and/or PR try to spin it. To shoot at another human being at the request of whomever hired and paid for security is repulsive. What was security trying to protect...? Their privacy or the commercial value of some pictures. Either way is disgusting.

the paparazzi is insane; they killed princess diana!

#40 This is Gisele Wedding not the papa are yours, she can do anything she want with it, not you are the paps so cut out your nonsense.

So the fact that the couple is rich and famous entitles the paparazzi to steal their privacy, their images and their control over their wedding? I don't think so. If the moronic, idol-worshipping public won't boycott the POS magazines, a line needs to be drawn making these slugs responsible for their actions.

I DUNNO, TOMMY'S VERY EFFECTIVE IN THE SHOTGUN....
I SEE ANOTHER SUPERBOWL :^) BILL IS A GREAT TEACHER..

Brady is an Idiot.

Bridget must be really happy her son was at that wedding. He should be stripped of custody. He has turned into a filthy rich scumbag. Fits in perfect with the NFL.

Here comes idiot Bonitto. He posts his love for Gisele on every blog. He makes it bad for every foreigner with his stupid, unintelligent rants to anyone that disagrees with him.

@ James in post 15: Sorry buddy, Budweiser was bought by a Belgian company, not a Brazilian one.

Granted I hate how paparazzi hound celebs, shooting at them crosses a line. Security should do its job to prevent paparazzi from getting access in the first place, not try to shoot the guys after they've taken some pics!

Is this drama ever going to end?

To PR : I assume since you know so much about Brasil( not Brazil) that you have visited there. Family in Brasil is much like it used to be in the USA, close and the family is very important. In Brasil a civil ceremony and a Catholic Church wedding are required. You should know a country before you show your ignorance, maybe you are from Texas or at least a Republican!

Bridget is tougher than i thought.

MS... They were married in Costa Rica not Brazil. You should get your facts right before you criticize some one else.

horrible - killing people over the pictures!????- they are both complete and total idiots and there should be charges brought against the security guards...that definitely was excessive force...how were they in danger??? the NIKON is a deadly and dangerous weapon, isn't it????

If you really do not like the Boston Globe's reporting on Gisele and Tom, you should know that posting a comment about it will just encourage more coverage. fools!

What is this the wild west? What do they expect with having two weddings? and what are they doing packing guns with the baby there? TB might lose his right to unsupervised visitation if these two don't knock it off.

Does this mean they have to get divorced twice?

Cassel at $14M is starting to look like a steal.

Wow, these two are really disgusting. I think they deserve each other. By the way, the wedding was in Costa Rica, not Brazil, but who cares anyway.

I think he should be rehabbing the knee rather than running around the world getting hitched over and over again....fool.

Quem são Tom Brady e Gisele Bundchen?

Poster #34/DJ...........feeling the same as you!

TO MS - Brasil is so great you aren't living there why??? Yeah thought so...

Please stop the madness, arghhhhhh, I said arghhhhhh, make it stop,
make it all go away. ARGHHHHHHHH......

#51-You're right - Budwesier was bought a Belgian company. You just forgot to mention that this Belgian company (Interbrew) was bought by a Brazilian company (Ambev) a few years ago, becoming Inbev, which was renamed to AB-Inbev after Anheuser-Busch's purchase. And AB-Inbev is fully controlled by Brazilians. I happen to know that because I work there. And as for the "2-bit country" comment, I just have to say that some people in this forum are in desperate need of literacy.

Go Pats!

Is this why you went to journalism school? Is this journalism? This is trash. No wonder the Globe is losing millions. This paper used to be taken seriously...by some people...I wonder who they are or if there are very many of them left.

Who cares? Why are you so obsessed with this football player? Pathetic. Perhaps there is a reason why the Globe and Boston.com do not deserve to exist.

Such a nice Catholic girl. Tommy - you think her people are tough on your wedding day, just wait til the divorce.

....stay low.

Tom Brady has bewcome an embarrassment. I have a feeling that he will never return to his former glory after the antics of this off-season.

Remember when Tom had b*lls? Dude, where's my quarterback?

As long as Brady is healthy and happy, so what if we hear some gun shots?
How is Brady's knee? Is he walking and running without any problem?

Do you know what Tom says to 2 photographers after their car windows is broken? The car is on me. Robert Kraft will pick up the bill afterward.

"I suppose you also consider Wikipedia to be reliable as well." ~ PR

Weigh to say it PR!!!! YOU Da mAN! NeXt thing you know, they'll be trYing to tell uS that the earth revolves around THE Sun, or that the earth is older than the bible. THat's the kind of librul stufff that they wright in Wikipedias. We no better.

Quick Bridget, call your lawyer and terminate visitation rights ASAP!
...Any chance we can beg the Chiefs and Matt to reconsider?
In the meantime, praise the lord and pass the uzi!

Gisele and Tom are perfect for each other. This was idiotic on their part for hiring thugs. Just keep the cameras away or you might get shot at. Better still hire reputable bodyguards next time, you idiots.

"Freelance photographers" in this case is just a euphemism for parasites. But then again, parasites have a purpose in life. I'm sure more details will emerge.

ya, whatev, tommy. you better friggin produce this year on the FIELD, brother. remember the football field???? you are a football player?? enough holding your chic's pooches, holding her purse, and canoodling. ENOUGH! cassell is gone so you better get busy fast. more timing pattern, less paparazzi, ok, charming? less metro, more deep throw, got it?

Does anyone remember how great the Cowboys were supposed to be by now? Does anyone think Romo's off-field activities have had nothing to do with their collapse?

Get ready for an entire season of Gisele-impersonators filling the seats during away games, prompting zillions of useless camera shots and endless wisecracks from the announcers, and related distractions that together will make Spygate look like a hangnail. Brady couldn't stop it now if he wanted to. It has a life of its own, and he's rapidly morphing into T-Brad. The model franchise of boring stability that won 3 Super Bowls is morphing with him into a circus that no one but a Jets fan could want.

The articles are saying that two people, presenting themselves as the model's costa Rican security chief and a friend of the groom, demanded the memory card from the camera ...... bet you anything that was the slimy, sleezy Will that you see all over in the pics - he seems to be glued to Gislut's side in a lot of the pics .... after all, he arranged the big introduction between [Giselle] and Tom.

I can't believe the lack of grammar/spelling/general coherency on this post. Can hardly understand any of you. But love the "How's Brady's knee?" comment. Classic.

Sarkozy merely yelled at me for taking his picture on Lake Winnepeasauke two summers ago. Boarded my boat, grabbed my camera, yelled in French. Didn't shoot though. Wouldn't have put it past the ol' hothead, however.

bdbd.....sad to say....i agree with you. he's gone soft.

OK...Shooting at someone is and should be illegal. But how do any you of expect these two to feel after the 24/7/365 surveillance they have been under for years? They have no privacy at all and the photogs think anytime they feel like doing so they can invade this couples life and get away with it. No retaliation! So now someone shoots at them. Who cares? Photogs shoot pictures, guards shoot bullets! Invading other peoples privacy should be a dangerous game. If one of those clowns got killed they would have nobody but thenselves to blame.

"Wanna know who you get the Paparazzi? They pull a camera, you pull a gun. They send one of yours to The Star, you send one of theirs to the morgue. THAT'S the Brazilian way!"

- Ok so that's a complete rip-off from The Untouchables...

LESSON HERE!

NEVER COME BETWEEN A SUPERMODEL AND HER MONEY DEALS!!

NO ONE MESS AROUND WITH MRS. GISELE BUNDCHEN-BRADY, SHE'S IS SCARY....

Paparazzi strikes again. Someday they will get what they got coming. You stick your nose in someone's private life, without being asked to, you take whatever comes with it.

Paparazzi are essentially vermin. It unfortunate that they weren't shot and killed, "encourager les autres". Frankly I'd have preferred a releasing of the hounds. Now this is where Michael Vick and his boys could have been helpful. Nobody would complain about dog-fighting with paparazzi as the bait. Chain em like bears in the Middle Ages and let the dogs have a go. Now that's entertainment!

#11 killed me.

Don't agree that this is more serious than Plax's activities. The way Plax had his gun we're all lucky he only shot himself - and not fatally. But he was fully responsible for what happened. In TB's case, we don't know what - if any - culpability he has. Did he know what the security was there for? Did he have any idea what the guards' instructions were? Did the guard who fired on the van follow the instructions he was given? I tend to think that, since the journalists unexpectedly escaped and started to flee with the film that the guards were acting more out of panic (damn! we're in deep trouble if they get away with that film!) rather than following any set of instructions from TB GB or the family...

As far as TB being distracted, we might see the pictures everywhere, but that doesn't mean that dog-watching and high living has become the essense of TB's life. I'm a Dolphins fan, so I wouldn't be upset if he's changed :), but I expect that he'll work just as hard in the offseason program and training camp to get ready for the season as he always does. (You'll know this is the case when you see the stories about the hours he starts logging watching and breaking down tape with the coaching staff) It was nice to snag a division title in his absence, but I expect that he'll have the patriots back on top of the division this year.

Shoulda killed those dirty paparazzi.

to bad the shooter wasn't a better shot. I wouldn't have missed.

Gives a whole new meaning to protecting the pocket, eh Tom?

how 'bout dem Broons!!!

Can any of these guys play OLB or on the O-line? How about strong (armed) safety? I bet BB was scouting them when all this went down.

Thank god I didn't bring my camera to the "One Laptop per Child" benefit last month. I could have been shot.

Hey, maybe photo shoot means something different in Costa Rica

Too bad the shooters missed......These photographers had no business invading people's privacy. I'd like to shoot them myself, but I don't own a gun, haha.

I couldn't imagine being a photographer sneaking around someone's private property.....how low is that..

Hopefully these scum-of-the-earth photographers decide to quit the business and leave these people alone. All these tabloid magazines and TV shows are the dregs of society.

finally a story about a quarterback not named cutler. way to go tom,don't be letting that little cry baby get all the headlines!

Can we still get Matt back? Maybe a 3 way trade wth KC, and The Bears' Cutler. This guy says yes to everthing she says. First we thought knocking up Briggette was bad, now this. No wonder Gisele says"Tom is so naive." You think? It all started with those pictures in NY, before The SB. Remember the hoodie, the boot, the flowers. He looked like a love-smitten teenager going to the Prom.

this yoko ono wlll bring tom down. first sb, then injury and now this. in a few years time tom will be ended up a homeless guy while this chick sails to her million dollar penthouse in ny.

Oh we kept the wrong guy alright. And Tom Brady should tell his wife to keep her big mouth closed. Both Brady and his wife are not showing any respect for the mother of his child. I think Bridget is the winner here. We are all seeing what Tom Brady is made of. Not much!

front page of todays ny post 4/6 just picked up a copy on ebay

Why does everyone think the guy has gone soft? He got married for god sakes, he can't get married in the off season (albeit twice). And this talk of "losing" cassel, we let him go not like cutler. They didn't have a choice, we did. New England knows who their qb is, and it ain't the high school hack. He had a great year granted, and the fans appreciated his efforts but I'll wait to see how each of them do this year, and then I'll wait till matt wins three superbowls with a patch work receiving core before I make any comparisons

Wow, Some of the comments here are outstanding.
1. Such a nice Catholic girl. Tommy - you think her people are tough on your wedding day, just wait til the divorce.
....stay low.
Posted by bohica April 5, 09 08:15 PM
That was Aimed at all Cotholics or all Catholic women or just women in general!?

2.When did the Pap getting shot at by body guards involve the people of the ceremony who probably had assistance hiring the guards have anything to do with a racial issue?!
3. I didn't realize the idea of fiscal conservatism, one of the founding pricipals of the Republican Party was somthing associated with being ignorant. I really just thought it was a different mind set that is to be associated with as a political party, My bad!?
4. Invasion of privacy should not be something to be taken lightly, no one lost a life here and I'm sure that wasn't the intent of unloading the weapon, rather to make them think twice about the privacy they had stolen from someone else.
5. Hate the Globe love the Globe, it doesn't matter. With us giving China 9% off the top from our current annual budget to print more money that is backed by nothing is just as insane to wish that another 5,000 people lose ther jobs at this point and time in the US.

I am a photographer who has worked as a photojournalist and a documentary film maker. If you want to try to get shots of a private affair such as Tom Brady's marriage ceremony, you have to risk the consequences of getting shot at and getting killed. Don't do it if you don't want to take that risk. In this day and age, any other attitude and/or analysis of the situation is naive.

These photographers deserve whatever they get, and probably worse.
Too bad the security detail was short of rounds and had to try to get the both with one round. two shots would have done the job.

Brady has turned into such a dissapointment, he was our hometown hero now I can'r stand the sight of him or his wife. I've been a Pats fan for my whole life, but I refuse to root for such an arrogant human being. Go Chiefs

I came here for the snarky, clever one-liners, and was not disappointed!

#32, ghostofnomah: "I dunno. All this drama. I think we kept the wrong guy."

Ditto.

When do you think Bridget will let Gisele the evil step mom play mommy again? Tom Brady has turned into a wimp. Bring back Cassell. Maybe Tom should play Soccer in Brazil.

Sounds like you're not a Pats fan greg. How has Brady been a disappointment? I guess by arrogance you mean successful along with a hot as.s wife to go along with the 3 rings he brought us. Go cheer for the chiefs, stop wasting your time on a Boston based website, we won't miss you.

TO PR:

You probably have no idea, but this 2nd world country is debt free, that’s right, DEBT FREE, while your first world country drowns in debt, we are already lending money to the International Monetary Fund, which some day will end up in your hands. That means my 2 bit country will be lending money to your first class nation. And by the way, my energy independent 2 bit country sent me to work at Petrobras (look it up), to show your developed country how to explore oil.

What is wrong with you people? This isn't some bum..this is TOM BRADY. Anyone forget about the superbowl rings? So some people hired by his WIFE (who, at the time of the incident, might not have even been his wife yet) took some potshots at some scumbag photographers. OH GOOD LORD, ALERT THE JOINT CHIEFS!

Who cares? Seriously, who cares? Anyone saying we chose the wrong quarterback....wow. Cassel isn't half the quarterback Brady is. He isn't a third of the quarterback Brady is. Is he a better person? Maybe. Maybe not. Who cares? What does that have to do with winning superbowls and why in holy hell would I care if someone on the team is a good person? These are PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES. As long as their behavior doesn't end up in a suspension (and this incident isn't anywhere near even beginning the discussion on the POSSIBILITY of a suspension)...WHO CARES? These aren't role models. There are people who go out and PLAY A GAME for OUR ENJOYMENT and get paid VERY WELL FOR IT.

COSTA RICA YOU IDIOTS!!!! READ THEARTICLE!!!! The laws of most countries state that if you are visible from any public area, your image is public. These photographers were not shooting from private property and the security personel have no right to detain them or shoot at them unless they are protecting the lives of their clients. Clearly they were instructed to take a hard line with any photogs. As for the paparazzi, Diamond Tom and his eye-candy wife should stop taking all the money they make and drop into middle class obscurity if they want privacy.

Perhaps the Globe should start a sports section exclusively for pseudo 'sports' fans like Kfan who watch TMZ and read People Magazine and the National Enquirer. Then you all can go there and make catty remarks about who Brady marries, what color and style underwear he prefers and all those other stupid things that have nothing to do with fielding a competitive football team year after year.

If anyone has ever caught a glimpse of TMZ or any show of its kind, you'd know that these rats with SLR's are relentless and they take pride in their methods. This is a bad combination when you have a wedding ceremony with a relatively secretive couple - in a Central American country and with armed bodyguards no less...I personally don't care. No one was hurt and the vermin got the scare they deserved.
Can't wait 'til the season begins...

A shame that they weren't killed. The only difference between stalkers and the pap's is that one of them gets paid.

Some of these comments are interesting. Let's see, first we have someone talking about the legality of it all and it makes me wonder if they based their thoughts on Brazillian law or US law. Second, someone mentions Tom and Gisele acting as if they want the additional attention. It's a good bet they don't. They are probably annoyed by it. Brazil, not a 2-bit country. Third, awwwww the poor paparazzi! It would have served each of them right to get a bullet to the head. They obviously weren't invited. They should have turned in the pictures and the incident never would have taken place.

Kraft to Brady: "I told you not to invite Harrison!"

Brady to Security Guard: "Nice spiral but you split the receivers. Next time pick one or the other."

How do you spell "No Trespassing " in Paparazzi?

Good, maybe paparazzi will learn to leave people alone. They will nag people continuously then they will get pushed or their camera broken (in this case shot at) and act like they cant believe someone would do that. Eventually people have had enough and you are going to get a reaction from it.

U.S policies differ from Costa Rica. Maybe, these men were taken for spies or something.

GOOD. Maybe now this pestilence will end. Paparazzi are nothing but vermin.

Why should we feel sorry for asswipes who almost got shot doing something they shouldn't be doing in the first place? These vultures get about as much as the freaking celebs they're paid to stalk. Boo hoo cry me a frreakin river in your pile of dough. These numbnuts just want an extra bonus for their "hard work".

I am preety sure it is not even a crime in Brazil!! The photog should say they were celebrating.

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM A LOWLIFE LIKE BRADY.

BRADY IS STILL PISSED ABOUT THE SUPER BOWL LOSS TO GIANTS.

If he can dodge a bullet, my guess is he can avoid a sack. Let's not declare Tom washed up until after he fails us on the field. Last I remember, he took a (cheap?) shot to the knee. Before that, he led us to the go ahead drive to culminate a perfect (and personally record breaking) season, right up until Asante let perfection slip through his fingers.

A SHOT FIRED FOR PRINCESS DIANA! too bad they missed ... because the razzis' didn't miss her ! although, i don't believe the story , there will be more to it, and i think that giseles' NEIGHBOURS FROM HELL, allowed the invasion of privacy, and are partially responsible for any trouble, since they allowed the vultures on their property, what a neighbourly thing to do! i hope they don't ever need a favor from the bradys'!

ohhhhhhhhhhhh! Idiot guard! Why did you miss them? next time "mira" their forehead and don't miss them. I hate these paparazzis! I hope one day they all will be gone for good.

It was another Fumble !!!!! The Guards should have tucked their weapons.

Remember back when the media honored your privacy.... that was cool.

You may note from my posting name that I live in a different country. What my posting name does not tell you is that I was born in Boston.

I left the US years ago largely because of the ignorant, xenophobic and ethnocentric attitudes of so many of its population. Certainly many (not all) of the postings here validate my decision.

Does it need to be pointed out that Costa Rica is a separate country to Brazil (While we're on that topic, Australia is different to Austria...), thus possessing different laws, mores, etc? Moroever, have the imbecilic morons knocking Brasil ever been there (I spent two months there.)? It's a wonderful country that does have problems but that said, certainly the US does (as does Australia).

One posting alluded to problems relating to children wandering the streets, etc, in Brazil. Thankfully, given the socialist tendencies of the US that would never happen (For those of you too moronic to realize, that comment was facetious.) in the US.

While many of the postings are intelligent and possess merit, some of you need to make certain the condom never breaks...

wishing death on the paparazzi is pretty harsh. if magazines didnt pay thousands and thousands to them they wouldnt go to such great lengths. if society didnt have such a thirst for celeb life magazines wouldnt print this crap. blame yourselves. dont blame the paparazzi

The only reason papperazzi were there is because some people like looking at the pictures they produce. If the little gossip rags and the people that read them didn't give a crap, there wouldn't be anyone there to shoot at.

Whatever. Bring on the season. Rob (#121) - bravo man. It's amazing how some fans immediately become bandwagon because Brady is living his life, and really doesn't care what we think about it. If I were in his position, I wouldn't either. As long as he shows up every day, plays his best and earns his money, we have nothing to complain about.

I'm amazed at some of the comments.
First, Brady didn't shoot at ANYBODY, the guards did. Did the guards threaten the safety of the bride or groom? We don't know. Unlikely, but you've got to hear both sides of the story.

Secondly, my wife and I (of 46 years) had to go through 3 marriage ceremonies: one for the family; one for the US Embassy; one for religious reasons.

Third, the paprazzi are scum, the laws should be changed to protect the subjects.

Too bad Princes Diane didn't have security guard with a gun or she might be alive today !!

Rob in Central MA, "these people are not role models"? You're right, I'm sure there are no little ones anywhere who look up to Tom Brady. Or at least, did look up to him back when he played football for a living.

Brady's a jerk, AND A REAL GREAT DAD.
TOO BAD THEY WEREN'T THE ONES GETTING SHOT AT
HOPE HE DOESN'T RECOVER FROM THE SURGERY AND THEY HAVE A LOUSY YEAR
THEY ONLY WON ALL THE SUPER BOWLS BY 3 POINTS EACH TIME BY CHEATING

Where does one start?? With the ethnic comments? The nasty comments about Boston?? The personal comments about Tom and Giselle?? People are, indeed, stupid, but unlike some of our international posters, I do believe stupidity is worldwide, and if you don't like the Boston comments, don't read them. This whole thing is unfortunate, but my only support goes to Jack's MOTHER. She was never told about the first wedding, so I doubt she was clued in on this one. She has every right to know what her child is being involved in, and after Giselle's recent comments, I wouldn't be so apt to let his father take him anywhere.

Maybe what went through the back window was a football thrown by some nearby quarterback.

Interesting that the bullet conveniently went out through the front window, so it can't be matched to anyone's weapons. Hmmm, did the slime-snappers have a gun too? Maybe that's why they got shot at?

The comments on this story are some of the best in a long time. The fake-Patriot fans must be on Spring Break. Shoot, where are the bozos who write things like "See, I knew Belichick was a cheater!"

From one local Boston hero to another, keep truckin' Tom keep truckin

I dunno, I wouldn't want to get married in a place called Mal Pais - doesn't that mean "Bad Step?"

Tom Bundchen has turned himself into a clown!!

Idiots, all idiots., stay away from Costa Rica,we don't need this dope smokers, parasites from the North

too bad it wasnt a JP as it wont last when he no longer is a super hero. Get him Bridget Mr Clean

Hey, I hate paparazi too but this is taking it to a whole other level that seems far too extreme. They need to be stopped but come on, by forever ending their existances. Just so Gazelle Bumpkin can make a few more hundred thousand dollars?
