Tom Brady Emotional Super Bowl Celebration with Sick Mom
The crowd booed the living hell out of Roger Goodell ... but Tom Brady didn't care -- he was too busy celebrating the Super Bowl win with his mom ... the woman he dedicated the game to.
Tom had previously revealed that Galynn Brady has been battling an undisclosed illness and hadn't attended a Patriots game all season.
But, when it came time for Goodell to present Robert Kraft with the Lombardi Trophy -- Tom was down on the field with his family, hugging Gisele and their kids and sharing a moment with mom.
Congrats.

Gisele SPACED OUT Hours Before Kickoff
What do you do when your pre-Super Bowl anxiety hits out-of-this-world levels??
You take your fam to the Houston Space Center!
That's what Gisele did early Sunday morning -- taking her daughter Vivian for a quick trip to the home of the largest moon rock collection on the planet ... while her hubby Tom Brady preps for the Falcons.
The supermodel explored replicas of the Apollo Lunar Module, Apollo 17 Command Module and more. Looks like she had a great time.
As we know from previous Super Bowls, Gisele gets pretty intense when watching the games -- so, we're guessing the trip was an attempt to keep her mind distracted.
Then again, Tom's already been through the Super Bowl thing 6 times before ... so, maybe they're looking to buy a space shuttle??

Super Bowl LI Cops Brace for Trump Protesters ... Marijuana Lovers Too
The Houston Police Department is expecting the worst outside the Super Bowl and is ready to combat a wave of Prez Trump protesters making noise about disrupting the game.
Our law enforcement sources say officers, in uniform and undercover, will monitor crowds outside NRG Stadium. We're told several online groups have popped up in recent days organizing protests -- some anti-Trump, some for Black Lives Matter, Standing Rock and refugees.
HPD has plenty of backup, having borrowed cops from around the country. As usual for the Super Bowl ... we're told SWAT will be posted nearby if protests turn into riots and get out of hand.
One more thing -- stoners beware. Unlike the inauguration protests, we're told in and outside the stadium will be a weed-free zone. As one officer put it, "If people think they are going to bring dope into Texas, they're full of s***."
