New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady suffered his most embarrassing athletic moment since losing Super Bowl XLII to the underdog New York Giants.

The NFL star fell out of a kayak in the Charles River in Brookline, Mass., and had to be fished out by an elementary school teacher, 7 News Boston reports.

Tom Brady was with wife Gisele Bundchen and a pal at the time.

“We were tying up our boat to a buoy and the boat boy came over and said ‘You are never going to guess who is on the Charles renting kayaks right now’ and he said ‘Want to go check it out?’ I said ‘yeah,'” local school teacher Robin Leeds said.

Maybe Tom Brady should stick to football.

But when the pair got close to Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen, they realized the quarterback had fallen in the river. Leads helped Brady into her boat.

“I actually asked him why he fell in. He said he was racing one of his friends. It was Tom, Gisele and his friend. So he was racing his friend,” she said.

Afterward, Leeds asked for a photo with Brady, who replied, “Of course! You saved my life.” No word on whether those pregnancy rumors came up.

Leeds adds that the three-time Super Bowl winner was “really friendly,” and also “really appreciative that we fished him out of the Charles.”

That’s nice to hear. Then again, if you got to see Gisele Bundchen nude every single night, you would be grateful you didn’t drown as well.
