"Giants running back Brandon Jacobs issued an apology Wednesday night for his Tuesday remarks to reporters that Tom Brady's wife, Gisele Bundchen, should "stay cute and shut up."

"Given the fact that it's a colleague of mine's wife, I do apologize for saying that, because I shouldn't have said that," Jacobs said, according to ESPN. "It's his wife and I should respect that just as much as anyone else."

Jacobs stood by his comment about Bundchen being cute, however.

"No question, he should take that as a compliment," Jacobs said. "If he finds something wrong with that, then that's his problem.""
