Eli Manning is the only NFL quarterback to defeat New England Patriots legend Tom Brady in two Super Bowls.
It apparently still bothers the future Hall of Famer even 12 years later.
Brady was signing a stack of Tampa Bay Buccaneers No. 12 jerseys when a Fanatics employee revealed a Manning jersey in the pile. Brady was about to sign the jersey when he noticed it was not one of his.
After giving the employee a coy smirk, Brady signed his name and added a hilarious message to his former rival, “(Expletive) off.”

When Manning received the jersey to sign, the two-time Super Bowl MVP laughed and said, “Perfect.”
After adding his signature to the jersey, Manning responded to Brady’s message by adding, “Good Game!!”
The Giants defeated the Patriots in Super Bowls XLII (2008) and XLVI (2012) after Brady led New England to titles in the 2001, 2003 and 2004 seasons.

Brady may have lost two championships to Manning, but he retired with seven Super Bowl rings and five Super Bowl MVPs.
The global sports company will most likely auction the jersey at its Fanatics Fest event in New York City on Aug. 16-18. The Patriots and Giants legends are slated to attend the event on the show’s first night.
