Those are some handsome dudes. I'm a straight, married man.

What's the name of this boy band?
December 16th, 2021 at 9:47 AM ^
TB12 and the Mahomies
(and before I get the comment--yes I know that Patrick Mahomes is not currently featured in the boy band. Give it time)

Brady Bunch?

-2 for requoting a State Farm commercial and mentioning TB in the same sentence as mahomes.
December 17th, 2021 at 12:01 AM ^
P15 and the Mahomies is the name of Mahomes’ charity

Dang, Brady doesn't look much older than the two college students. Healthy living.
December 16th, 2021 at 10:22 AM ^
GOAT Farm

You missed the best response (from Twitter; I didn't come up with it)
"GOAT Farm"

I saw someone on tweeter say GOAT Farm is the name
December 16th, 2021 at 11:08 AM ^
Why does Brady look younger than guys barely old enough to drink? What is that man's secret???
December 16th, 2021 at 12:48 PM ^
I believe he sells his secrets here: https://tb12sports.com

There's some serious airbrushing going on in that photo, but no doubt Brady looks very young for his age.
Brady is known to eat very, very healthy, to the point of not eating tomatoes or strawberries: https://www.distractify.com/p/why-does-tom-brady-not-eat-tomatoes

Looks like the product line should be cologne.
PS I want Tom Brady's hair and hair style.

LOL, I loved one of the Twitter comments - "What's the name of the Boy Band"
December 16th, 2021 at 10:30 AM ^
I believed you until the "straight, married man part".
December 16th, 2021 at 9:33 AM ^
LFG NIL.
Go Blue!
December 16th, 2021 at 9:36 AM ^
Avatar suggests you'll be applying for the next round of NIL candidates.
December 16th, 2021 at 9:35 AM ^
Wow. Never thought of this aspect of the money train that the NIL deals are. Imagine being a HS kid , thinking of going to UM and realizing you'd have a chance at doing a business deal with Brady. Wow.
December 16th, 2021 at 10:01 AM ^
The ceiling is the roof!!
December 16th, 2021 at 9:36 AM ^
I love that Tom Brady is a Michigan alum...
December 16th, 2021 at 9:45 AM ^
I can only imagine, the cognitive dissonance percolating now in the Cade naysayers on this site.
December 16th, 2021 at 9:48 AM ^
username checks out
December 16th, 2021 at 9:50 AM ^
"We need JJ to start - it's the only way we'll beat Ohio!!"
December 16th, 2021 at 3:27 PM ^
Time put JJ in! (to that NIL deal)
December 16th, 2021 at 9:54 AM ^
Wait until he loses a game. They'll slither back out.
December 16th, 2021 at 10:11 AM ^
This comment is going to draw Beeffffeeeeeeaaver out of his hole, isn't it?
December 16th, 2021 at 10:57 AM ^
I can't tell if you people get a bigger kick out of the team's success or the feeling of superiority over other internet fans.
I was fully onboard with Cade early the in year because I thought it would be crazy to start a true freshman compared to what we saw from Cade last year. Then I wanted to see more of JJ when it became clear that Cade can't/won't run a zone read (which apparently was a part of the offense) and is a bit less accurate (willing?) on deep balls.
In the end, Cade improved overall, the zone read has been limited (to JJ only), and the running game and defense have been excellent enough to enable a game manager to win games. It's awesome! But let's not act like the success is all down to Cade overcoming all of the limitations that made the 5* an intriguing option.
Another reply mentioned naysayers coming back if UGA wins. I think it depends. The MSU game was a perfect example of why you want Cade instead of a true FR. But if UM loses with a QB line of 13-19 for 159 yds 0TD 1INT and a stuffed running game, I'll probably be wishing we tried something else.
December 16th, 2021 at 1:10 PM ^
I think the cognitive dissonance is you believing he got selected for this ad based on his playing abilities as opposed to his nice hair and strong jaw line.
December 16th, 2021 at 9:46 AM ^
Not to be a negative nelly, but I was really hoping this was UM athletes only. Awesome deal though.
December 16th, 2021 at 9:56 AM ^
You don’t build a National/Worldwide brand by catering only to a subset of a subset of the population while alienating all others. That’s like Oregon being like “why is Phil Knight sponsoring all these other schools in apparel.” Nike wouldn’t be what it is if he were that dumb.
Now, if Brady sponsors a Buckeye or a Spartan, then all bets are off. Grab the pitchforks and torches.
December 16th, 2021 at 10:21 AM ^
Oh, I totally get why it isn't UM exclusive, but that would have been amazing.
December 16th, 2021 at 9:52 AM ^
Who cares? How many milk endorsements they got?
/s
December 16th, 2021 at 9:55 AM ^
But, Michigan is way behind all those other SEC schools on NIL….?
December 16th, 2021 at 9:56 AM ^
Drew Henson signs JJ...
December 16th, 2021 at 9:56 AM ^
Cade looks like an actor playing Tom Cruise's part in a reboot of All The Right Moves.
December 16th, 2021 at 10:04 AM ^
I remember thinking Cade seemed like a kid with fashion sense when he took his linemen out for the steak lunch. I hope he is successful with this endeavor.
The pop up ads/clickbaits that appear on my sites once informed how much the AT&T girl was worth doing her advertising. (That’s why clicked on it, haha).
December 16th, 2021 at 10:06 AM ^
this coudl be a huge boon for upcoming QBs. Charles could do the same for DBs, Hutch for DL, Jake Long for OL ... make it about the sport... not gimmicky crap from Takis.
