Tom Brady Appears on GQ's 'Men of the Year' Cover, Takes Spectacular Pics

Tom Brady didn't give them the juice.

Despite the flattery of being selected as one of the magazine's 2015 "Men of the Year," Brady didn't open up about Deflategate or its ramifications when GQ came knocking for a one-on-one interview to pair with its annual superlative edition.

Instead we have Chuck Klosterman's piece that was published on the magazine's website Wednesday morning: "Tom Brady Is the Greatest Quarterback of All Time. Period."

Klosterman, a veteran reporter and essayist with GQ and other outlets, tries his best to get Brady to talk about Deflategate, despite having his one-hour, sit-down interview mysteriously downgraded to a telephone chat.

The result is a cagey, distracted exchange where Brady is driving a car and Klosterman is probing directly into the one subject the quarterback can't or doesn't want to talk about, to predictable results.

This is a shame, really, because the photoshoot for GQ's Brady piece went so much better.

And here's Brady using a lamb-brella:

This is Brady wearing sweatpants and a suit jacket, or as I like to call it, "success-made cloth":

Five rings? Or invisible Mondo Burger?

And that's Brady, who may not be handing out candid tell-alls at this moment in his career, but continues to mop up the competition when the lenses are focused.

Personally, I could've gone for more goat-work, but I guess, to some, this spread is its own kind of goat-work.

Dan is on Twitter. There's never enough goat-work.
