AROUND THE WEB:
-- A few more scenes from Tom Brady's interview with Oprah Winfrey have been released ahead of the premiere on Sunday.
In one promo scene, Brady says spirituality is his "deepest purpose" and he loves the process of learning new things.
In another scene, he talks about his wife, Gisele Bundchen, and says she "flies in the sky" and stretches him.
At one point, the camera pans and shows Gisele, Jim Gray and Gayle King sitting off camera.
"She knows she can always count on me and I know I can always count on her," Brady said.
The interview airs Sunday at 11 a.m. on OWN.
-- Speaking of Gisele, Brady's wife issued an apology Thursday night for something she said in her Vogue interview about being "wiser" than today's models.
"If it was me, it would only be pictures of sunsets," she said to Vogue of today's models. "It's not my generation — I have to be honest about that. I'm older, wiser. If I had to promote myself in the way girls modeling now have to do it, forget it. I wouldn't do it."
It seems some took it the wrong way because she tweeted this statement and posted it to her Instagram story.
— Gisele Bündchen (@giseleofficial) June 14, 2018Many of the responses to the tweet insisted she did not need to apologize for her comments.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: "You can see the swings that he took (Wednesday), he's almost there. And not because he hit the homer but there was a lot of conviction behind his swings. So he's in a good spot, we trust him." -- Alex Cora, with D&K, on Mookie Betts
