Anna Burns Welker, Wife of Patriots Star, Apologizes For Her Tirade About Ravens' Ray Lewis

Jan 22, 2013 04:25 PM EST

Last season, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's wife Giselle Bundchen criticized, and essentially blamed, wide receiver Wes Welker for dropping a key pass in the Super Bowl loss to the New York Giants.

Now with another postseason loss, another wife of a Patriots player apparently had something to say this year.

After Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens, Anna Burns Welker, wife to Wes, took to Facebook to support her husband - but mostly take a few shots at Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis.

Anna had the following to say:

"Proud of my husband and the Pats. By the way, if anyone is bored, please go to Ray Lewis' Wikipedia page. 6 kids 4 wives. Acquitted for murder. Paid a family off. Yay. What a hall of fame player! A true role model!"

On Monday afternoon, Burns apologized for what she said about the Ravens linebacker.

"I'm deeply sorry for my recent post on Facebook," Burns told Larry Brown Sports in a statement. "I let the competitiveness of the game and the comments people were making about a team I dearly love get the best of me. My actions were emotional and irrational and I sincerely apologize to Ray Lewis and anyone affected by my comment after yesterday's game.

"It is such an accomplishment for any team to make it to the NFL playoffs, and the momentary frustration I felt should not overshadow the accomplishments of both of these amazing teams."
