Jets Rookie Mark Sanchez In GQ Spread

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.

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...

"My fiance doesn't need to know..."

sounds like you're off to a good start.

Well, I already gave him permission to sleep with Shakira if he can manage it, so I think we're even.

He was pretty amazing at USC - that's worth some photos in a magazine.

Now I'm confused. Are you Matty, or TrannyMatty?

He's sporting wood in the second photo there.

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

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.

The second coming of Richard Todd is in GQ? Wow-they must need to sell magazines real quick

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.

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

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.
