Laugh Track.... Option Quarterback

Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen appeared on NBC's "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" and talked about her husband, Patriots QB Tom Brady. Bundchen, who speaks Portuguese as her first language, said Brady doesn't speak Portuguese and tells her that "he speaks two languages: Football and English." Bundchen noted she will speak to her son and say "Daddy doesn't know anything" in Portuguese. Bundchen: "After we're speaking Portuguese and he's trying to understand, he's like, 'I know that! I got that! What are you saying? You're saying I don’t know anything.' So then I'm like, 'Okay, you have to learn Portuguese. You have no other option'" ("Late Night With Jimmy Fallon," NBC, 1/6).

NBC’s Jay Leno: "I had quite a scare Saturday night. I didn't tell you guys about this. I'm at a steakhouse having dinner. The guy at the next table started choking and couldn't breathe. Turns out he ordered the Kansas City rib eye. I guess you know by now, Indianapolis Colts came back from 28 points behind to beat the Kansas City Chiefs. Isn't that unbelievable? It was like watching a Cleveland Browns game in reverse. It was amazing. And this cold weather is sweeping all across the country. … It was so cold in Cincinnati, quarterback Andy Dalton was having his snowballs intercepted” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 1/6).

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel: “For men, tonight, the college National Championship game from the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. It was Florida State versus Auburn, the Seminoles versus the Tigers. If you missed it and you still want to see an Indian fight a tiger, check out ‘Life of Pi’ on Netflix” (“Jimmy Kimmel Live,” ABC, 1/6).
