Tom Brady and Eli Manning will forever be connected.
The two of them famously played against each other twice in the Super Bowl, with Eli and his New York Giants coming out on top. Even with Brady’s illustrious career and his seven Super Bowl trophies, Manning managed to steal the spotlight in two pivotal showdowns that left a huge stain on his career.
Their rivalry has never stopped.
Hope @TomBrady & @EliManning bring this energy when they cross paths at Fanatics Fest.

Tom Brady and Eli Manning continued that trend recently when they traded playful jabs when signing one of Manning’s New York Giants jerseys.
At a recent jersey signing event, tension flared up hilariously when Tom Brady was handed Eli Manning’s number 10 jersey.
Brady was in the midst of signing his Tampa Bay Bucs jersey when the Eli Manning jersey came up. He paused for a second before writing “F–k off” on it.
“Good game,” Manning responded once he signed his jersey afterward.
The worst defeat likely of Tom Brady’s career came at the hands of Eli Manning as the Wild Card New York Giants ruined what would’ve been a perfect season at Super Bowl 42.
It wasn’t just Eli Manning, as wide receiver David Tyree etched his name in history with a ridiculous helmet catch.

While Tom Brady is getting set to become a broadcaster and buy a minority share of the Las Vegas Raiders, at least one star player on the current team hopes Brady returns to the field.
Davante Adams appeared on “Club Shay Shay” with Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe and revealed his hopes that Brady would unretire for the second time and play quarterback for the Raiders.
“Hell yes. You gonna talk about how old he is. I don’t care. I don’t care,” Adams told Sharpe. “Tom knows how I feel about him. And the other part of it is, I think I’d be the first person to play with Tom and Aaron (Rodgers). So, that’d be pretty cool.
“He’s gotta still be able to throw it better than half these dudes in the league.”
