New York, Feb 3 : Madonna, who is set to perform during halftime of Super Bowl XLVI, has revealed that she would rather date NY Giants quarterback Eli Manning than Patriots' pretty boy Tom Brady.

The Material Girl happily picked Manning to chill with over Brady when asked for preferences in signal callers on Thursday.

"I would have to say Eli, because he lives in New York," the New York Daily News quoted the pop queen as saying.

"And I don't want him [Brady] to waste gas," she said

She did throw Brady a bone by praising his wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, for praying for him to prevail on Sunday.

"Bless her. That's great. She's a good wife," she said.

The 53-year-old singer confessed she is "incredibly nervous" about her Super Bowl halftime show, in which she plans to perform two classics and her new single, `Give Me All Your Luvin.' (ANI)
