Eli Manning Gave Comical Reason for Not Attending Tom Brady’s Netflix Roast

Tom Brady was roasted on Netflix on Sunday night. Peyton Manning made a surprise appearance to razz his longtime rival, but his younger brother and co-host Eli Manning was not in attendance. It arguably would have made just as much (if not more) sense for Eli to be there. Over Brady's two decades in the NFL he became connected to both Manning brothers for different reasons.

Brady and Peyton were the two best quarterbacks of their era and their teams met 17 times in 15 seasons. Brady won the regular season series, 9-3, while Peyton had a slight edge in the postseason, 3-2.
