Former NFL quarterback Tom Brady has gone viral once again after writing a priceless two-word message on a fan’s Eli Manning jersey.
Tom Brady may be the most accomplished player in NFL history with seven Super Bowl rings and five Super Bowl MVPs, along with every significant passing record (including passing yards and touchdowns), but even the GOATs have their Kryptonite.
In Brady’s case, it was none other than New York Giants legend Eli Manning, who proved to be far more than Peyton Manning’s little brother.
Eli, of course, led his Giants to stunning Super Bowl 42 and 46 wins over Brady’s dynastic New England Patriots. On both occasions, Manning threw a miraculous pass (to David Tyree and Mario Manningham) to set up a game-winning touchdown in the final minute.
Manning was named Super Bowl MVP on both occasions, cementing himself as a Giants icon while snagging permanent ownership as Tom Brady’s Kryptonite. Manning went 3-2 in head-to-head matchups with Brady.
So when a fan came up to Brady to sign his Eli Manning jersey at a Fanatics event, the GOAT took a couple of seconds to ponder his options before signing it with a message reading “F**K OFF.”
There are countless Tom Brady autographed items out there. But a personal message reading “F**K OFF”? That’s an awfully rare piece of sports memorabilia that could be worth thousands down the road, if the fan decides to sell it.
