"Have you ever seen one of these?" - Josh Allen's attempt to troll Tom Brady backfires spectacularly
Tom Brady's gamesmanship and competitive spirit are well-documented, but the seven-time Super Bowl champion took it up a notch this week.
Before the quarterback and Aaron Rodgers teamed up to take on Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen in "The Match," the quartet sat down for an interview where the Buffalo Bills star showcased a golf ball he'd be using during the contest.

The ball had an image of Tom Brady's infamous combine picture, one that the quarterback has even asked Twitter owner Elon Musk to remove from the social media platform.
If you buy twitter can you delete the combine photo? @elonmusk
Allen caught Brady off-guard, and the Buccaneers star laughed it off, but only because he had the perfect response.

During the contest, Tom Brady showcased his special golf ball that had an image of the Lombardi trophy on it.
Brady proceeded to ask Josh Allen:
"Hey Josh, have you ever seen one of these? You know what that is?"
Allen responded:
"I've seen one before. I have seen it"
Here's a video of the entire interaction between Brady and Allen:

Brady not only managed to get back at Allen, but he also got the last laugh as he and Aaron Rodgers managed to upstage Mahomes and Allen to win The Match.
While Brady and Allen's banter took center stage before the match, it was Mahomes and Rodgers who went back-and-forth on the course, doing the heavy lifting for their respective teams.
The game was intense, with neither duo leading by more than one under par for most of the contest. Rodgers delivered the killer blow with a sensational 15-foot birdie on the final hole to win it for the veterans.

Rodgers credited Brady, Trevor Immelman, and Charles Barkley for helping him sink the match-winning shot. The Packers quarterback said:
"I felt really good about [the putt], to be honest. Tommy gave me a great read. I heard Trevor [Immelman] and Charles [Barkley] in my head telling me I was going to make it, and I felt good about the line when I hit it, I knew it was going in. It was a fun day."
Brady managed to win the battle of wits and took home the bragging rights with the win. The veteran quarterback will now turn his attention toward the 2022 NFL season, where he'll look to win his eighth Super Bowl ring and sixth Super Bowl MVP award.
