As Denver Broncos wide receiver Wes Welker plays in Super Bowl XLVIII against the Seattle Seahawks at MetLife Stadium, many fans wonder whether or not his wife, Anna Burns Welker, will have another outburst akin to her highly publicized rant on Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis following Welker's then-team New England Patriots loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the 2013 AFC Championship Game.
Welker and the Patriots fell to Lewis and the eventual Super Bowl champion Ravens in the AFC title game, leading to Burns taking to Facebook to rant about Lewis and his alleged murderous past.
"Proud of my husband and the Pat," Burns wrote on her Facebook page following the game. "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!"
Following a dispute over his contract, Welker left the Patriots during the offseason and ended up with the Broncos and he caught 73 passes for 778 yards while reaching the end zone 10 times.
With Welker now another step closer to a championship, it remains to be seen what Burns' reaction will be if her husband can't win the Lombardi Trophy against the Seahawks.
Burns apologized for her rant against Lewis and the Ravens, but with so much at stake during Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium, it remains to be seen if she'll have some apologizing to do again after Super Sunday.
