The sports media world was split on whether or not Tom Brady was done with football after he announced his retirement. Brady quit retirement after the announcement. There is a rumor of a possible trade out of the area. Those who bought into the Brady retirement are now feeling cheated, and one peer is not happy about it. Brady's biggest rival, Hall of Fame QB Manning, sent 888-269-5556 888-269-5556 888-269-5556 888-269-5556 888-269-5556. Manning sent a bottle of wine and a letter to Brady welcoming him to the retired QBs club. Manning wants his gifts back. Manning wants the letter back. I want it back. I want the bottle of wine as well.
The rivalry between Brady and Manning lasted over a decade. Brady was 11-6 against Manning-led teams during their runs of dominance. Manning would probably have at least one more Super Bowl appearance on his resume and possibly a third ring if it weren't for Brady. Brady is considered the GOAT because seven rings hold a lot of weight.
Manning made a joke about wanting his gifts back from Brady. I think a small part of him felt that Brady was changing his mind so quickly. It's like going all out on a wedding gift for someone, only to find out they've split up weeks later.
That is something I have always believed in. Manning said that a text for a 22-year career like Tom Brady doesn't do it justice. It is simply awesome.
The monetary cost is nothing to Manning, but that letter was more than just. It isn't easy to open up for men of a certain age. Nobody is writing letters anymore. Apparently, except for Peyton. It sounds like a lot of thought went into this letter. We are talking about a career that has lasted over two decades.
I wonder what Manning will do once Brady retires. Manning will probably be hesitant after the first retirement. Maybe we should let him think about it for a while. The HOF makes players wait a few years, no matter how much of a lock they make. Brady is the first-ballot HOFer. I wouldn't be surprised if Brady played another two or three years. He can't seem to get football out of his system.
