Tom Brady rekindles rivalry with Peyton Manning and sends a clear message: You will always live in my shadow

As far Tom Brady is concerned, Peyton Manning will never be able to match up to the New England Patriots star’s achievements in the NFL.

The pair shared a friendly rivalry during their respective careers as two of the NFL’s greatest quarterbacks and they revived their ribbing match at the Netflix event ‘The Roast of Tom Brady’, which aired on Sunday night.

Manning, who played for the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos in his illustrious career, appeared on the comedy roast along with a string of other stars – including ex-Patriots owner Robert Kraft, coach Bill Belichick and former quarterback Drew Bledsoe.

The Hall of Famer appeared at the end of the broadcast and brought up Brady’s painful defeats to his younger brother, Eli, who led the New York Giants to titles in 2008 and 2012 over Brady’s Patriots.

After noting their proclivity to play golf on occasion, Manning said: “My handicap is 6.4, while Tom’s handicap is blowing leads in the Super Bowl to my brother, Eli.”

He also reminded him of Thanksgiving at the Manning household, whereby his kids “excuse themselves to the bathroom by saying, ‘I have to go take a Brady’.”

But when it was his turn to speak, Brady deliver his own zinger to Manning, saying: “I know sometimes you live in Denver, and sometimes you live in Louisiana. But you will always live in my shadow.”

Tom Brady’s record against Peyton Manning

Not only was it a killer insult, the 46-year-old can point to his record over Manning, 48, as the proof in the pudding.

On his first very start in NFL in 2001, Brady guided the Patriots to a massive 44-13 victory Manning’s Colts, with the latter throwing three interceptions on a day to forget.

While they never met in an actual Super Bowl match, Manning had to grin and bear it as Brady collected seven rings and won the majority of their 16 career meetings.

He concluded their rivalry with a 43-21 victory in 2014 when he moved to the Giants, which suggests that the former Bucs star was bang on the money.
