Boston Herald: Tom Brady's Ooomph to UGG

[thebluefood]

He’s won three Super Bowls and is married to a supermodel, but this could be the real test of Tom Brady [stats]’s manhood and star appeal.

Deckers Outdoor Corp. is betting on the Patriots [team stats] quarterback to convince the masses that the UGG brand — largely viewed as a women’s shoe brand epitomized by its ubiquitous and schlumpy sheepskin boots — is fashionable and macho enough for men.

Why is Tom Brady turning into a 14-year-old girl?

lol @ the advertisement picture for it. Brady looks like if Dorothy Hamil was a lumberjack.

and it doesn't matter who they sign to peddle their product, it's still feminine-looking. I don't think Chuck Norris could pull it off.

I hate how the ladies drool over him. He looks like a wimp. Nothing about him says "rugged and masculine." He looks like a pretty boy, kind of like Romo sits to pee.

I really don't get it, either.

Apparently, more women want their men to look like a total jackass (see: UGGS, popped collars, etc.)

I think he looks creepy with long hair...and I'm a fan of long hair on guys...ugh he's too feminine anyway and this ad doesn't help. Uggs are too girly for men, please don't buy them. Heck, I think they're ugly for girls...but they are comfy.

I don't know of any ladies that drool over him. But I will say he's not that bad-looking (no homo) when he has shorter hair.

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

Lol. Unreal.

[Kosher Ham]

Tom Brady as "great" as he is on the field, does not market well. Never has. For the life of me I can not imagine why this company of all, would want him as a face of the brand.

[bishtw]

To the complete ensemble he needs to start advertising man bags too.

[bdiamond]

Lol. Unreal.

That's b/c it's not real. It's a mock up.

[pointyfootball]

Y'all are clueless about marketing if you think he doesn't sell. He's a winner, has a supermodel wife, rich beyond words, incredibly athletic, well-behaved, etc, etc. Why would he not be a good spokesperson for a company wanting to pitch their product. I know my wife would ditch me in a minute given the option, and I can cook!

"I never wanted to be a football player. I wanted to be...a lumberjack! Leaping from tree to tree! As they float down the mighty rivers of British Columbia! With my best girl by my side!"

^^^ Bwahahahahaha!
