Even Carnaval-besotted Brazilians savor this post-Super Bowl prospect: Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen scampering nude through the streets of New York.

The Brazilian press reports that Bundchen, romantically linked to New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, vowed to trot in the buff through the Big Apple if Brady’s Patriots fell to the upstart New York Giants -- which they did Sunday. The entire episode is apparently based on a satirical item that ran on a CBS Sports website. No matter. The notion seemed plausible enough in Brazil, especially in Carnaval season.

‘If the Patriots lose, I’ll run nude through Manhattan,’’ Folha quotes Bundchen as saying. The Victoria’s Secret model, ex gal-pal of actor Leonardo DiCaprio and surfer Kelly Slater, called Brady ‘not too shabby ... pretty cute’’ in an interview quoted by People magazine. Brazilians eagerly await the fulfillment of her Super Bowl guarantee.
