OPINION: Where GQ's Tom Brady "Man Of The Year" Gets It Wrong

Simmons does not come out of the podcast much better, and Klosterman trapped him neatly by getting him to agree (tacitly) that you shouldn't have to have proof before calling someone a liar, Mehercule!!! Bill made a feeble attempt to assert that IDG was the agent of deflation, and poor procedural actions obfuscated any real information, but it was a by-product and instantly forgotten in the pursuit of the more sensational.

The discussion peetered out before half way through, since Bill wanted to discuss his Obama interviews with his buddy.

Save yourself 20 minutes by not clicking on the link.

Patfanken has pointed this out frequently, but Simmons has the same problem as a lot of people in the media: He just can't take the necessary step, based on the evidence (or lack thereof), and say that the Patriots did nothing wrong.

It doesn't help that he's viewed as the #1 Patriots homer in the media and he's terrible at defending his favorite football team. The arguments he can use are pretty straightforward and readily available, but, from everything I've read, Simmons won't or can't figure out how to use them. Instead, he lets Klosterman and Cousin Sal get the better of him.
 
Hmmm...
Clothes...
Shoes...
Hair Products...

...Brady wears $5,000 suits
...When he isn't wearing his Nike's, his feet are covered by leather crafted for something in the vicinity of $1,000.
...If you think Brady doesn't put what the salons call "Product" in his hair, well...I hate to be the one to break it to you...

He's GQ's dream.

He takes a great picture.
He makes expensive clothes look like they were molded for his body.
He's (very, very) successful.
He's married to one of the few people on the planet who is known everywhere in the world by just her first name.
He doesn't give a **** what anybody thinks about him. In fact, he blew off the sit down interview he'd promised the GQ editors and made the guy talk to him on the phone while he was going someplace in his car. And they still had to put him on the cover. It would have been perfectly fine with him if they had chosen someone else.

Brady's heart wouldn't have been broken if they'd picked Daniel Craig instead, but I doubt that he was "displeased" by the selection...

And, as the GOAT, he (Gisele?) made sure he was photographed wearing sheepskin...


All true, and I don't disagree. I just prefer Brady the football player over Brady the fashion model/celebrity. Personal preference.

I suspect that he does too :), but I also think he finds the latter kind of fun.

Did you ever watch the part of the SNF intro where Carrie Underwood "flirts" with Andrew Luck by pretending to dust makeup on his face? She would NEVER to that to Tom Brady, because he's in a media celebrity stratosphere that she can only hope to enter in her wildest dreams.
