Why Tom Brady reached out to former rival Peyton Manning for advice

It’s time to turn the channel on the Peyton Manning vs. Tom Brady rivalry that dominated headlines for much for the early 2000s.

It’s been eight years since the two quarterbacks took to the gridiron opposite each other, and in just a few short months they’ll share the NFL airwaves.

“Monday Night Football with Peyton & Eli,” a.k.a. ManningCast, is ESPN’s simulcast – a live simulation and analysis show which Manning and his brother (also a former professional quarterback) host alongside each other. As they gear up for the fourth season, Manning has become a seasoned broadcaster, though he denies it, according to the Athletic’s Andrew Marchand.
