If you like Peyton Manning, the next time some schmuck mocks him for doing so many commercials, try to gently point out that Tom Brady does ads, too, but they seem to be all print ads. I guess after Manning truly outperformed him on SNL (and in last year's AFC title game -- oh no he din't!), Tom just decided to stick with photos. He is rather handsome, after all. With Leather has the scoop on his $3 million deal to drink this French-sounding water, Glaceau. Three million, huh? Yeah, that guy does nothing but focus on football. Right.What bothers me most about the above photo, though, is the flow of the ad. I'm a writer and I hate it when things jump out at me as kind of not flowing correctly and, in some cases, flowing really poorly in the wrong direction.
The copy says "what do you drink to bring your A-game?" And let's leave aside for a minute the stupid lack of proper capitalization -- who do these clowns think they are, e.e. cummings? (The English majors out there just laughed.)
The follow-up line is "strength, sweat and stamina count."
Okay, so what do you drink? Strength, sweat and stamina? Gross. I will not drink Tom Brady's strength or his stamina for anything. Not even $3 million. His sweat? Well, maybe. It might make me handsomer. If that's possible.

Let us not forget the Sirius radio ads a year or so ago, along with the other TV adds for man perfume.
Brady sells sex, Manning sells everything else.
His Stetson ad looks like he just came down off of Brokeback...
Good stuff today, BS staff!
(can I applaud a staff that I'm a part of? Oh, I guess I just did.)
Who is ready the copy? Tom Brady is HOT!
Yeah this is great, but have you seen Brady Quinn's commercial? Now that's entertainment.
Wow, bitter much about Brady's success?? First of all, yes Brady does do SOME endorsements, however the majority of them have all been with his teammates (Sirius, Mastercard). Stetson and Smart Water are the only two he's done. At least he has chosen what to endorse selectively, unlike Manning who whores himself for any company that will toss him a deal. Next he'll be hawking Tampax...if his helps you justify that Brady is the better quarterback, then I hope it worked. manning may have the better acting skills, but I'll take 3 SB rings anyday.
