Tom Brady was nearly washed away after he fell out of a kayak a few weeks ago. While in the Brookline, Massachusetts’ Charles River the Patriots quarter back fell into the water while racing a friend. Tom was with his new wife Gisele Bundchen and a mutual friend when things took a turn for the worse. Lucky for Brady, a teacher had heard that he and Gisele were out kayaking and decided to take a peek.

“We were tying up our boat to a buoy and the boat boy came over and said ‘You are never going to guess who is on the Charles renting kayaks right now’ and he said ‘Do you want to go check it out.’ I said ‘yeah,’ ” Elementary school teacher Robin Leads said.

When they stumbled upon the famous couple, Tom was in the water. Leed fished the QB out of the water and helped him into her boat. Robin Leads, Tom’s rescuer, said that he was extremely grateful and thanked her. He even took a photo with her and signed it so she could sell it on Ebay and make some scratch off the deal (it’s what I’d do unless I had rescued Jake Gyllenhaal or Jonathan Rhys Meyers).

Leeds adds that Brady was “really friendly, really appreciative that we fished him out of the Charles. I actually asked him why he fell in. He said he was racing one of his friends. It was Tom, Gisele and his friend…so he was racing his friend.”

This follows a reheated rumor that Bundchen is pregnant. I don’t think kayaking is one of those sports you continue to do while pregnant. Seems awfully risky, but maybe Gisele has a womb with an impenetrable force field.
