Scores of men are desperate for attention from supermodel Gisele Bündchen – and it turns out that even husband Tom Brady is one of them.
To get it, the NFL legend and perennial hottie (this haircut notwithstanding) says he's not above toddler-like tactics to get her to focus.
"I like attention from her, so when I'm not getting it I let her know in immature ways, like a young, immature child would," Brady, 37, tells Man of the World magazine for its fall cover story.
"You throw fits and you pout and you whine until you get what you want," he jokes.

GOOD LUCK FINDING A BETTER COACH, HUSKERS

Nebraska has fired Bo Pelini after seven seasons, the school announced Sunday morning.
Pelini never finished with fewer than nine wins at Nebraska, but he never lifted the Cornhuskers into the national championship discussion. His tenure was marked with tension over those expectations, and Pelini's inability to win games against top competition ultimately doomed him.
"I didn't see enough improvement in areas that were important for us to move forward and play championship-caliber football," athletic director Shawn Eichorst said at a news conference. "We weren't good enough in games that mattered against championship-caliber opponents."
Associate head coach Barney Cotton, a Nebraska alum, will be the interim head coach for the Cornhuskers' bowl game.
Nebraska was 8-1 this season with a chance to win the western division of the Big Ten but got embarrassed 59-24 at Wisconsin on Nov. 15, then followed it up with a 28-24 loss at home to Minnesota the next week.
Even though Nebraska came back to beat Iowa in overtime Friday to finish the regular season 9-3, the school decided to go in a different direction.
Under the terms of Pelini's contract, Nebraska will owe him as much as $7.65 million over the remaining term in an agreement that runs through Feb. 28, 2019. The deal paid Pelini a base salary of just under $3.1 million for the current contract year, and that amount was scheduled to increase by $100,000 next year.
OF COURSE, THIS PROBABLY DIDN'T HELP

Bo Pelini On Nebraska Fans: "Fuck You, Fans. Fuck All Of You."

Deadspin, 2013
This is fun. Here we have an audiotape of Nebraska football coach Bo Pelini flipping his shit about both the media and the Cornhuskers' fans after a 2011 game. Why are we getting this now? Well, our tipster was particularly exercised by Nebraska's flameout against UCLA on Saturday, which has led to some awkwardness in Huskerdom. In the 2011 audio, Pelini says the word "fuck" a lot. He seems to have no idea he was being recorded.
Our tipster says the recording was made on Oct. 8, 2011, just after Nebraska had come back from three touchdowns down to beat Ohio State in Lincoln. He or she only recently had come into possession of this audio before sending it our way. It was recorded moments before Pelini did his postgame radio interview with Greg Sharpe of the Husker Sports Network. Pelini sounded anything but relieved by the big victory.
In the recording, Pelini is talking to Sharpe and to a woman whose identity we've been unable to determine. Pelini initially seems upset with an unknown person who works at the Omaha World-Herald, whom he calls "a piece of shit." [Update (5:31 p.m.): As another reader has since noted, Pelini wasn't happy with the World-Herald's Dirk Chatelain during his presser after the Ohio State game. Pelini had been angry about this Chatelain column.] Pelini then begins venting about World-Herald columnist Tom Shatel: "Fuck him, too. Fuck him. That's what I'm going to tell him. He wants to walk out after my press conference? I'm gonna say, 'Get the fuck away from me. I'm done with you, motherfucker.' I'm done with him."
All of that is just the prelude to Pelini's message for the Huskers' fans: "It took everything in my power to not say, 'Fuck you, fans. Fuck all of you.' Fuck 'em." After Sharpe says a lot of students had left at halftime, the woman starts to say that people did return to their seats. Pelini interjects: "Our crowd. What a bunch of fucking fair-weather fucking—they can all kiss my ass out the fucking door. 'Cause the day is fucking coming now. We'll see what they can do when I'm fucking gone. I'm so fucking pissed off."
