A few weeks after crashing Tom Brady’s Netflix roast as a surprise guest, Peyton Manning crashed another Brady event this week, much to the delight of his former on-field rival.
“I love this guy,” Brady said of Manning during his New England Patriots Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Wednesday. “I looked up to him since the day that he was in high school football and he was the No. 1-rated quarterback coming out.”
Manning was a surprise final guest at Brady’s induction ceremony. He and Brady had a fierce on-field rivalry during their playing days but they were — and remain — close friends off the field.
“I’ve been fortunate to have a great relationship with Peyton over the years,” Brady said. “I think for me there was so much admiration and respect for the way that he handled himself through the wins and the losses and how he conducted himself on and off the field. He’s an incredible friend of mine and I love him.”

Just as Brady attended Manning’s Pro Football Hall of Fame ceremony in 2021, Manning said he will be in attendance when Brady is eligible to be enshrined in Canton in 2028. All class as usual from No. 18.
