GQ magazine announced their "Men of the Year" honors today, with none other than New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady making the list once again. Brady appears on one version of the special issue, which hits newsstands on November 24.
Brady was given the "Comeback of the Year" award after returning from his season-ending knee injury in 2008 to lead his team to big wins this season. He joins "Leader of the Year" Barack Obama, "Badass of the Year" Clint Eastwood, "Breakout of the Year" Chris Pine" and "Funnymen of the Year" the cast of The Hangover, Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms.
The issue includes photos of Brady, doing, among other things, ironing, as well as an interview where he discusses family life, football and his impromptu wedding to supermodel Gisele Bundchen.
"We planned it in like ten days, and it was perfect," he told the magazine. "We went back to the house and I barbecued aged New York strips. We had champagne, a cake, some ice cream. It was a great night. I think you always have this idea that weddings need to be 200 people and you invite everybody, and I’m all for it if people want to do that, but I think there was really something special about just having our parents there."
For the record, Brady has appeared on the cover of the magazine twice before, including in 2005 and 2007, for their 50th anniversary celebration. Added with the most recent honor, that's three times more than Peyton Manning.
Comments
The article claims Tom's injury happened in Kansas City, when in fact we here in New England know it was in Foxboro. Fact check!!
The GQ article Matthew? I have no control over that sorry. You may wish to contact them directly...
