Tom Brady roasts, compliments Peyton Manning over AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am performance
The date is Feb. 7, 2020, and Tom Brady is still bullying Peyton Manning.
Except now, it's off the field.
Manning, a future Hall of Famer and one of the best to ever play in the NFL, is participating in this week's AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and he's playing pretty well. The former Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos quarterback is T-37 at 11 under with professional partner and former world No. 1 Luke Donald.
Manning hit a beauty of a shot on the par-5 10th hole that came to rest in tap-in range for a birdie. The shot led to a tweet from the Fore Play Podcast, claiming Brady would've holed-out.
"Not true. Peyton is the better golfer right now. He’s had much more practice these past few years," Brady responded via his verified Twitter account.
If you're an avid golf fan and don't care much for football, we'll explain. Manning retired following a Super Bowl win in the 2015 campaign after 18 seasons in the NFL at 39 years old. Brady is 42 years old, and by all indications he'll be taking part in his 21st season in the NFL this fall at 43.

A back-handed compliment is a compliment nonetheless, but today was just another win of many for Brady.
