Tom Brady’s familiar rival teased the future Pro Football Hall of Famer on Monday.
Eli Manning.
The former New York Giants quarterback outplayed Brady in Super Bowl XLII and Super Bowl XLVI.
Brady posted a shirtless photo on Instagram holding the fish he caught.
Mr. Manning shared a photo of his fish with Mr. X and commented that the fish he caught were “cute.”

The trolls are just the next chapter in the rivalry between the two quarterbacks. Manning’s two Super Bowl rings came at the expense of Brady and the New England Patriots.
Manning famously ended the Patriots’ undefeated season in 2007, leading the Giants to a 17-14 victory in Super Bowl XLII. Four years later, he defeated Brady, 21-17, in Super Bowl 46.
The two-time Super Bowl champion offered Brady another shot in September. He became a fan of Welsh club Wrexham just days before they played against Birmingham City, a club in which Brady has a 3.3% stake. I wrote About X: “Now you can beat @TomBrady at soccer and football!”
In the end, Birmingham City won 3-1, but this result clearly did not slow Manning’s tendency to rough up Brady.
