The man who beat Brady up came
Brady embarks on his 10th Super Bowl tour, where he will lead the Pirates at home to defending champion Kansas City Chiefs. Just before the big game was about to come, former Giants quarterback Eli Manning came out again to sour Brady.
Brady started as a Patriot in his first nine Super Bowl trips, and he finished with a record of 6 wins and 3 losses. Two of those defeats were lost at the feet of the New York giants.
Manning himself revealed that Brady's two defeats had dealt a big blow to the old man. And when he and Brady meet on the sidelines, he never takes the initiative to pour salt on Brady's wounds, but Brady has always been obsessed.
Manning Jr. beat Brady in both the Super Bowl '08 and '12 and was named Super Bowl MVP in 2008. Among them, the defeat in 2008 was the most memorable for Brady, because that game ended the Patriots' perfect win-win season.
Manning Jr. is also one of the few players in the league who has repeatedly beaten Brady on the NFL's top stage. But he was very modest about it.
"I'm in front of Tom right now, without any bragging rights because it's going to be his 10th Super Bowl and his career really impresses me."
On February 8, we will witness a new piece of history together. Will Brady win the 7th crown or will Mahomes defend it?
Due to the pandemic, the 2020 Olympics have been postponed to this year, and the Olympic year is a shadowy presence for Brady. Can the old man sweep through the haze and take the bowl in the Olympic year? We'll see!
Can the old man break the Olympic curse?
