Tom Brady had an incredible time at the Super Bowl. He triumphed in seven out of the ten playoff displays, which is an impressive feat. However, he could have got two more under his name. But Ex-Giants QB Eli Manning was the one who became the roadblock. During a recent podcast appearance, the younger Manning brother took a sly dig over the NFL GOAT.

Eli Manning showed up in Julian Edelman’s new podcast, Games with Names. The former Giants QB had some amusement at the expense of Edelman’s former teammate. He said that Brady must despise his mother because the Manning brothers were always in his way of capturing more rings.

Eli Manning mentioned during the podcast, “[Tom Brady] hates us [Eli and Peyton Manning]. He hates my mom. If it weren’t for Olivia Manning, Tom would have like 12 Super Bowls, probably.”

Despite Eli’s sneaky shot at Tom Brady, he holds no animosity from the game 14 years back. During the podcast, Manning discussed how tough it is to dwell on someone like TB12. He acknowledged, “We respect Tom. What’s to hate about him? Just a perfectly good-looking guy who throws spirals and wins games. How do you hate that guy?”
