NY Giants star running back Ahmad Bradshaw has apparently developed an extra-special relationship with former "Jersey Shore" star Angelina Pivarnick ... TMZ has learned ... but the Staten Island Dump insists they're NOT officially dating.
Angelina was at Saddle Ranch in L.A. yesterday ... when we asked point blank if they were together ... and we were met with an uncomfortable silence ... followed by, "I'm not dating him ... like, no."
Pivarnick explained, "We've hung out together ... we're really close, he's a cool dude."
"I think he's a hot black ... I'm not gonna deny that. I would be lying if I told you he wasn't hot."
Angelina recently posted a photo of the two lookin' all cozy at a NY club a few weeks ago -- they look platonic to you?
We called Bradshaw's agent for comment ... so far, no response.
Just when you wanted to hate the guy for winning $50,000 on a freak Super Bowl bet -- Giants fan Jona Rechnitz tells TMZ, he's donating every last cent to multiple charities ... INCLUDING one of Tom Brady's choice.
In case you didn't know, Jona -- who runs a successful real estate company in New York -- hit the JACKPOT yesterday, betting $1,000 on the Giants to score the first points in the big game with a safety. The odds were 50 to 1.
Jona tells us, he plans to donate $5,000 to Tom's charity of choice -- in the hopes Tom and the Pats will match it -- and $5,000 to the charities of choice for the Giants defensive linemen who made the safety play. Jona also wants to take Tom out for an all-expenses-paid falafel dinner.
As for the rest, Jona says he plans to divide up the balance after taxes ... and donate it to a bunch of charities benefiting the less fortunate.
Jona says he only makes one bet a year -- on the Super Bowl -- and this year, it finally paid off.
The New York Giants CELEBRATED THEIR FACES OFF on the plane ride home from the Super Bowl ... singing and dancing like crazy ... and it was all captured on tape.
Linebacker Mark Herzlich posted a video on his Twitter page ... featuring running back Andre Brown leading a chant in which he screamed, "I GOT A RING!" ... and the guys would respond, "WE GOT ONE TOO!"
Herzlich tweeted a note with the video that read, "I'd say we are pretty excited."
It's safe to say the New England Patriots flight was quite different.
Giants owner Steve Tisch confessed his Super Bowl superstition on TMZ Live today ... saying he won't remove 5-week old nail polish from his toes because he's afraid it could sink his team.
Tisch says 5 weeks ago his young daughters painted his toenails red and blue ... and his team hasn't lost a game since -- so now he's afraid to remove the polish.
Tisch adds ... he's barely washed his feet since his girls shellacked him -- and he has no plans to clean up ... at least until after Sunday.
NY Giants co-owner Steve Tisch has 2 things no one else does -- a Super Bowl ring AND an Oscar! He also has the cajones to tell us he'd actually choose one over the other!!
