Tom Brady and Peyton Manning had a legendary rivalry. They were the best quarterbacks the NFL has ever seen.

But with true wit, he also outlined that Eli had the better of him, which elicited a chuckle from both brothers and a response from the younger Manning.

#3 - Tom Brady is done playing in the cold
Tom Brady made a name for himself playing in the harsh winters of New England when he was with the Patriots. Opposing quarterbacks could not handle the weather as well as Tom Brady could. But on the show, Tom Brady made the frank admission that he was done playing in cold weather and enjoys being in the Tampa Bay sunshine with the Buccaneers.

#4 - Tom Brady's disdain for defense
Tom Brady has no love for defensive plays, even though it was arguably the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' defensive performance that helped beat the Green Bay Packers in the NFC championship game on the way to the Super Bowl win earlier this year. On the show, Brady used an unflattering metaphor of dogs chasing cars to describe defenses.
