TOM BRADY

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

COLLEGE University of Michigan AGE 27
HEIGHT 6’4”
WEIGHT 225 lbs.
AGE 30
2007 PASSING YARDS/ TOUCHDOWNS 4,806/50

GAY-FRIENDLY RATING 62% — Brady is a self-proclaimed Republican who campaigned for George W. Bush in 2004. But he lives and plays in Massachusetts, the only state that allows same-sex marriage.

BIOLOGICAL PROBABILITY OF BEING GAY 13% — If Brady’s gay, it’s nurture over nature by a touchdown. Brady is the youngest of four children, with three older sisters. But the Brady kids played sports more than they played house — the sisters are jocks, too.

MANLY VIBE Metrosexual — Whether sporting a buzz cut and an undershirt, or a preppy ‘do and pinstripes, Brady wasn’t named Esquire’s ‘Best Dressed Man of 2007’ for nothing.

RELATIONSHIP MATERIAL Southern Gentleman — It’s LTR-only for this demure amour, who’s engaged to his college sweetheart, Abby McGrew.

BEDROOM PERFORMANCE Record-breaking — Brady led the NFL in passing, set the record for most touchdowns thrown in a season, and is on the verge of leading his team to the first undefeated NFL season since 1972. He’s guaranteed to take you places you’ve never been before.

ATLANTA GAY BAR WHERE HE'S MOST LIKELY TO BE SPOTTED WETbar — A renaissance man like Brady would be comfortable in Atlanta’s most cosmopolitan gay spot. It’s easy to imagine him on the dance floor shirtless, but maybe we have too vivid an imagination. After-party at Eros

SOVO’S SUPER BOWL PICK? Perfection comes around once a generation, and if Tom Brady and the Patriots aren’t perfect, who is? Pats by 18.


ELI MANNING

NEW YORK GIANTS

COLLEGE University of Mississippi
AGE 27
HEIGHT 6'4"
WEIGHT 225 lbs.
2007 PASSING YARDS/ TOUCHDOWNS 3,336/23

GAY-FRIENDLY RATING 75% — Having traded the homophobic environment at Ole Miss to play in the Big Apple, Manning must have a new tolerance for his gay fans and teammates.

BIOLOGICAL PROBABILITY OF BEING GAY 69%— Eli is the youngest of three boys, and some studies suggest that the odds for a male being gay increase depending on the number of older brothers he has, due to a mother’s exposure to testosterone in the womb.

MANLY VIBE Baby Brother — With his fresh-faced, barely legal looks and charm, Manning is an ideal candidate for ice cream or camping in the back yard.

RELATIONSHIP MATERIAL Heartbreaker — Get ready for a great one-night stand. Brady has a rep for nabbing the finest meat on the market, then returning it for a primer cut.

BEDROOM PERFORMANCE Mildy unsatisfying — Eli’s got decent stats and mechanics, but he’s nowhere as good as his older brother Peyton, or even his 58- year-old dad, Archie.

ATLANTA GAY BAR WHERE HE'S MOST LIKELY TO BE SPOTTED Three-Legged Cowboy — A country boy living the Urban Cowboy life, Manning is probably yearning for some all-night twostepping and a late-night run to Waffle House afterward.

SOVO’S SUPER BOWL PICK? Sorry, Eli. Enjoy the moment. We would pull for you and the Giants, but we’re gay, not stupid.
