Genie Bouchard burned by Patriots' Super Bowl comeback
Face meets palm as Bouchard tweets too soon
Canadian tennis star Genie Bouchard learned a lesson in counting her chickens before they hatch this Super Bowl Sunday.
Lesson learned. Never bet against Tom Brady 😇
—@geniebouchardIt all started when she was a bit too confident that the Atlanta Falcons would win the NFL title game after taking a big lead.
I knew Atlanta would win btw
—@geniebouchardAn opportunistic and optimistic fan looked at the odds and decided to lay it on the table by asking the star for a date via Twitter.
<a href="https://twitter.com/geniebouchard">@geniebouchard</a> if patriots win we go on a date?
—@punslayintwoodsPerhaps feeling overconfident in the Falcons, or maybe some daze and confusion caused by Lady Gaga's whirlwind halftime show, but Bouchard replied with "Sure."
Sure <a href="https://t.co/4W763IHkgB">https://t.co/4W763IHkgB</a>
—@geniebouchardAnd then we all know what happened next: the Patriots staged a huge comeback to win the Super Bowl.
So...where do you live? <a href="https://t.co/mfucQ0C9VL">https://t.co/mfucQ0C9VL</a>
—@geniebouchardSo is the date going to happen? Inquiring minds want to know!
<a href="https://twitter.com/punslayintwoods">@punslayintwoods</a> Hope you've got some ideas in place for where you're gonna take <a href="https://twitter.com/geniebouchard">@geniebouchard</a> out. What's your favourite restaurant? 😛
—@nickprice92Or perhaps a better question:
<a href="https://twitter.com/nickprice92">@nickprice92</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/geniebouchard">@geniebouchard</a> more important question is what's hers?
—@punslayintwoodsAgreed:

—@Da1PoliticalVYes, Genie, you did make your bed...
Omg...last night really happened... <a href="https://t.co/WVxdKPYV68">pic.twitter.com/WVxdKPYV68</a>
