Tom Brady got the better of Peyton Manning on the field more often, but the Indianapolis Colts legend is getting his digs in where he can.
On Thursday, Manning, Brady, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods announced The Match: Champions for Charity, which will be played May 24 at Medalist Golf Club in Hobe Sound, Florida. It will be shown on TNT, TBS, truTV and Headline News Network and benefit COVID-19 relief efforts.
TNT’s Ernie Johnson talked with all of the stars in the reveal, and Manning didn’t hold back. Brady thought it was funny enough to post it on social media.
On Brady entering the home of a stranger by accident shortly after arriving in the Tampa area to join the Buccaneers: “The course had to be in Florida. You know, after Tom’s B&E arrest … he couldn’t leave the state. Tiger and I talked to the sheriff in Tampa, and he’ll be allowed to go to Palm Beach.”
On Manning’s struggles against Brady in New England over the years: “I’ll be honest, I’ve never played Tom very well on his home turf, so maybe this is considered a neutral site.
“I would’ve have loved to have had this tournament in a place where they don’t like Tom very much — Indianapolis, Denver, Boston, after he just betrayed them.”
Brady played 20 years for the New England Patriots before signing with Tampa Bay.
On total titles among the groups: “Phil chose the right partner in Tom. Together they have 11 (major) championships. Tiger and I have 17.”
