Tom Brady and Peyton Manning might be retired, but their rivalry never truly ends.
Brady’s rivalry with Peyton Manning on the football field has extended to his broadcasting duties with Fox Sports.
During Brady’s latest broadcast of the Dallas Cowboys vs. Detroit Lions game, he took a shot at Manning.
Multiple offensive pass interference calls were made on the Lions during the game.
After one of them in the fourth quarter of the blowout, Tom Brady made a point to bring up Manning.
“Well it’s such a good thought, it’s just not the best execution,” Brady said. “And over the years, they’ve gotten really tight on calling those pick plays. Any remote contact was a flag. I saw Peyton Manning when he threw 55 touchdowns, there were more pick plays in that offense than in the history of NFL football. Since then, they’ve been cracking down. Believe me, I tried to use them all the time too.”
