Jets Rookie Mark Sanchez In GQ Spread

Photos from GQ's Baywatch-style photo spread of Mark Sanchez (pictured with model Hilary Rhoda)

USC quarterback Mark Sanchez made a splash when he was the number 5 NFL draft pick last month—and now he's doing it this month with a photo spread in GQ magazine. The new Jets player is modeling swimwear (not kissing mirrors, the way A-Rod did in Details), though he did say about one pair, "I wouldn’t necessarily be caught in those shorts."

The Post declares this the end of the Tom Brady-era; Steiner Sports Marketing CEO Brandon Steiner said, "GQ is all about the young, the good-looking, the quarterback who has the whole world in front of him. Tom Brady's getting a little older. He's becoming the veteran. He's going to be doing some more insurance-type commercials pretty soon." The tabloid also gives pointers to the (maybe?) future New Yorker: Move to Soho, befriend David Cross for hipster cred, develop palate for real Italian food, and stock up on condoms at Babeland.

I would offer my opinion about Sanchez but I can't take my eyes off the chick who's with him.

She looks great but if she lost a tad more weight she would be perfect.

Um, the heroin addict/anorexic look is no longer in fashion.

Too much leg hair.

Funny, I thought just the opposite. I saw his hairy legs and thought, "oh, HOT!"

Total ageism. Our society is so fucked up. Why don't we just get it over with and start making "Logan's Run" a reality.

I think that may be on the table Medicare and Social Security go tits up.

Great idea. Throw out a proven winner, who can still keep winning Super Bowls, for a question mark, who could just disappear without doing anything.

Who's David Cross? I guess I'm a real square.

Exactly what has this kid done that justifies multiple-page magazine spreads? We don't get to see whether he sucks or not till the fall.

On the other hand, he is frickin HOT. Can I get me some of that? My fiance doesn't need to know...
