Manning Trolls Brady Over Chilly Flight Complaints

Retired quarterbacks continue rivalry with playful jabs over contrasting lifestyles.

Peyton Manning took a jab at Tom Brady's luxurious lifestyle on 'The Pat McAfee Show', sharing a story about flying in coach at the back of a Delta Airlines flight, while comparing to Brady's vacation in the Bahamas aboard his $6 million yacht.
Manning humorously inquired about Brady's travel arrangements, questioning whether Brady, an advisor to Delta Airlines, took a direct Delta flight to reach his yacht in the Bahamas.
Tom Brady responded to Manning's remarks on social media platform X, stating, 'I’m sure the temperature was perfect. Peyton could never handle life outside the dome…' as a nod to Manning's time playing in indoor stadiums.
Despite their playful rivalry, both retired quarterbacks have enjoyed successful careers, with Manning having the third-most passing yards and touchdowns in NFL history and Brady having earned over $530 million during his playing career, according to Forbes.
While they faced off seventeen times during their careers, their post-retirement interactions have been lighthearted, continuing their rivalry through jokes and playful jabs.
