And just as we were starting to think that this was a fairly slow and quiet weekend in the NFL, allegations have arisen that are roughly as startling as anything we’ve heard lately.

According to the Boston Globe, shots rang out at the wedding celebration of Pats quarterback Tom Brady and model Gisele Bundchen.

We refuse to call Bundchen a “supermodel” until she demonstrates the ability to fly. In this specific case, we’ll also accept “faster than a speeding bullet.”

Especially since the new Mrs. Brady’s security detail allegedly was responsible for the shooting.

The incident occurred in Costa Rica. Two photographers hired by a photo agency known as INF “narrowly escaped death” when gunmen fired at their jeep as they drove away from the site of the wedding.

“I couldn’t believe it when I realized what they had done,” one of the photographers told INF. “I could have lost my life for the sake of some pictures that Gisele didn’t want published. Are they insane?”

Authorities reportedly are investigating.

In our view, not even the most powerful hallucinogenic compounds could have prompted the writers of the supposedly far-fetched Playmakers series to come up with such a twist — especially if the story arc includes Tom showing up late for the Super Bowl because he was making a conjugal visit to Gisele’s Costa Rican prison.

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

Two freelance photographers who snapped pics of Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen's weekend wedding in Costa Rica say they were shot at by the supermodel's security personnel.

INF, the photo agency that hired Rolando Aviles and Uri Cortez, said yesterday the two men "narrowly escaped death" when bullets shattered the back windshield of the duo's Suzuki jeep then hit the vehicle's front window. "Nobody was hurt, but it was very close," an INF spokesman told us today.

Brady and Bundchen got married Saturday at the Brazilian beauty's seaside compound in Mal Pais. (The pair also got hitched at a Catholic church in Santa Monica Feb. 28.) Guests this weekend included family, friends, and Patriots owners Robert and Myra Kraft.

The trouble apparently began as the two photographers were returning to their car after using long lenses to shoot pics of the nuptials. The snappers were then confronted by security and "frogmarched" to the Brazilian beauty's villa, where they were asked to turn over their film, according to INF. (Gisele, it seems, has an exclusive picture deal with a Brazilian magazine.) The men refused and, trailed by security, ran back to their jeep.

"As they started the engine, a live round pierced the back windshield...and hit the front windshield directly between the two mens' heads," according to a post at INF's blog. Cortez said he was shocked. "I couldn't believe it when I realized what they had done," he told the photo agency. "I could have lost my life for the sake of some pictures that Gisele didn't want published. Are they insane?"

Police in Mal Pais are investigating but it's not clear yets if anyone will be charged in connection with the shooting. The wedding, meanwhile, was a discreet affair, conducted at sunset on the terrace of Bundchen's abode.

Pics show the 28-year-old bride in a long white dress and holding a bouquet of white orchids. Brady can be seen wearing a gray suit and vest with white pants. In one picture, he's holding his son John and another shows him chatting with Kraft. People.com reported Brady had hosted a bachelor’s brunch for his entourage at the Milarepa hotel while Bündchen entertained female friends at her home.

Not that I'd ever be one to defend Florio or his 4th rate garbage, but did you just go spelling-**** over an umlaut?

Brady&#8217;s Agent Has No Knowledge Of Gunshot Incident

Posted by Mike Florio on April 6, 2009, 9:30 a.m.

A fairly mundane Sunday afternoon got significantly more spicy amid the emergence of allegations that security personnel fired shots at photographers who were taking pictures of the Tom Brady-Gisele Bundchen wedding celebration thing in Costa Rica.

The initial reports suggested that the gunmen were part of Gisele&#8217;s security detail.

A fairly mundane Monday morning has gotten significantly more spicy via a follow-up story in the New York Post, which suggests that the men who fired the shots were tied to the new Mr. Bundchen, not the new Mrs. Brady.

After the two photographers left the scene of the renewal of the Brady-Bundchen vows that were first recited earlier this year, the picture-takers claim that they were approached by men who said, &#8220;Tom Brady just wants to talk to you. It&#8217;s OK, nothing&#8217;s going to happen.&#8221;

So when they returned to the house (we&#8217;ve got a feeling that the place is a bit more elaborate than a mere &#8220;house&#8221;), they allegedly were swarmed by members of the wedding party and five hired goons dressed in black.

&#8220;Take a picture of me now, you f*****! **** you,&#8221; Brady&#8217;s best man allegedly said. (Wow. We didn&#8217;t know that Brady and Plaxico Burress were so close.)

The photographers then were allowed to leave, apparently after persuading the men that they hadn&#8217;t taken a single picture.

But the goon squad apparently didn&#8217;t buy it. Allegedly. After the photogs got to their car, they claim that one of &#8220;Brady&#8217;s men&#8221; pulled out a pistol and shot out the rear window of their vehicle.

So maybe, just maybe, Brady himself will be caught up in the investigation that might or might not be conducted by Costa Rican authorities.

And the wagon-circling for several people&#8217;s meal ticket already has begun. Brady&#8217;s agent, for example, has offered the obligatory Sgt. Schulz reaction.

&#8220;I have no knowledge of the events being described,&#8221; Don Yee told the Associated Press via e-mail Sunday night. &#8220;Additionally, security personnel have reported they do not have any knowledge of such an event. Given this, I have no other comment.&#8221;

Unless Yee has a weakness for macaroons, look for more of the same from the Brady camp.

And so the question will ultimately be whether the authorities in Costa Rica have the ability, the resources, and the will to explore fully and fairly the charges that these men have made &#8212; especially in light of the fact that most of the folks involved likely will be vacating the island soon, if they haven&#8217;t already left.
