As New York celebrates and New England struggles to make sense of the Giants' surprise Super Bowl victory, theories have surfaced. The most, dare we say, attractive one: the Curse of the Babe—or in the case of some players, Babes.

Did Tom Brady's Superbowl performance suffer at the hands (and other sensual touches) of his main-babe Gisele? Had his athletic prowess gone not to his head, but literally out of that the other, smaller head when it came time for the big game? And, what of other losing babe-ballers before Brady, like Jessica Simpson love-interest Tony Romo?

To see if there might be any truth to the matter, we sought an expert on the male member. Here we chat with Dr. Mike Russo, a Super Bowl watcher and a veteran urologist who's been specializing in the family jewels for over 35 years ...

Radar: Is there any medical truth to this 'Curse of the Babe' theory? Can getting too much hot loving effect a man's performance on the field?
Russo: I don't know of any studies of having sex causing you to do poorly in sports, though it could cause a distraction. On the other hand, Brady went through 18 winning games without being distracted—he was going out with her then and it didn't seem to distract him at that point. Also, I've never heard anything about having sex causing a decrease in a man's testosterone levels.

Would high testosterone levels make a dude a better football player?
Probably. You would be more vigorous, etc. It is related to some extent to aggression. But there's no evidence that having a girlfriend would diminish that.

Moving away from Brady and Gisele, what about masturbating before a big game? Could that affect a player's performance?
Physiologically it probably has no bearing on how a man plays. Whatever happens, it's probably psychological, though I've heard that admirals tell soldiers to abstain from sexual activity before going into battle.

How much does sex tire a guy out?
It depends on the person, and for someone like Tom Brady, who's in good shape, it shouldn't make a big difference. Unless he was up all night with her. But it'd be strange for him to do that with her for the big game. I just think they lost the game. Period. And not because the Patriots abstained from sex. His performance in the game was pretty good. So that mitigates against the theory that anything he did extracurricularly caused his defeat.

[Note: Brady and Gisele have been known to lockdown for a sex marathon.]

Is it possible that Brady wasn't thinking with his head? Could a smokin' chick like Gisele cause him to think with something else?
If the person gets distracted easily, they will get distracted by that. There's nothing physiological to it.
