Tom Brady has had a busy summer. He's sold sporting goods, new cars and even candy. Now, he's really gone to the dogs.

As if we didn't already know, Brady is now officially "America's Alpha Dog" - at least according to the upcoming issue of VMAN Magazine due out next week. Does this make Eli Manning "America's Dog Catcher"?

The magazine crowns Brady king canine and its cover features the all-bark and rarely-bites Patriots' quarterback posing with a nasty growl and some sharp teeth, along with a Doberman Pinscher sporting a similar grin. Even more scary - at least for Patriots fans - is this image of the same Doberman purportedly putting a nasty pinch on Brady's $72 million right arm:

"A Glam Slam" writer Heather Zeller reports that Brady was interviewed by fashion designer, Tom Ford (whom Brady is wearing throughout the photo spread) and discussed - what else - his supermodel wife - in addition to fatherhood and life after football - which no one in New England wants him to be thinking about.

“I have to do something [after football]…I don’t know. It’s hard to think about where my interests will take me. But [an actor] is not something that I’ve ever aspired to be. The only thing I ever wanted to be was a professional football player. It’s hard because I want to have four kids and I want to be a really good dad, too.” - Brady on his plans after football, VMAN Magazine October 2012

Wonder if he got this collar from Gisele?
