Tom Brady's jab at Eli Manning—just playful banter or a sign of lingering rivalry?

Tom Brady and Eli Manning, two legendary quarterbacks, have found themselves on opposite sides of yet another rivalry–but this time, it’s not on the NFL field. It seems their tiff is not yet over.

Brady, never one to miss a playful jab, took to X and shared a cheeky video calling out Manning. “So I’ve been working on a little response video. Eli and I are looking around the house, but I can’t find the other six of these,” Brady quipped, referring to his seven Super Bowl rings. He then asked Wrexham co-owner Rob McElhenney to “educate Wrexham fans… on the history of the NFL,” before wrapping up with a sarcastic, “Thanks bud. Appreciate all. See you Monday.”
