5 reasons Peyton Manning was more dominant than Tom Brady

The world has come to an end! Tennessee football legend Peyton Manning was ranked above Tom Brady in ESPN’s list of the most dominant athletes over the last 20 years. Not only was he ranked higher than Brady, but he was 17 spots ahead of Brady.

Manning came in at No. 3, and Brady came in at No. 20. The result sparked outraged everywhere and rekindled the Manning-Brady debate.
