Eli Manning reacts to Tom Brady Netflix roast with not-so-subtle shot

Eli Manning got the last laugh.

The former New York Giants quarterback did not attend Sunday night’s “The Roast of Tom Brady,” but he took to social media to make his feeling known about the man he beat twice for Super Bowl rings.

“I thought about attending the Roast of Tom Brady last night, but I did not want to Roast him for a 3rd time,” he posted on “X,” the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

Manning and the Giants won their two Super Bowls, defeating Brady and the Patriots each time. It’s been a running joke through the years.

On Sunday, Will Ferrell – as Ron Burgundy – and Peyton Manning didn’t let the moment pass without roasting Brady and using Eli Manning as ammo.

“My handicap is 6.4, while Tom’s handicap is blowing leads in the Super Bowl to my brother, Eli,” Peyton Manning said of the two playing golf.

Burgundy was a little more blunt.

“Underneath that dead robot of a quarterback, there’s a scared little boy,” Burgundy said. “Anyone notice? You don’t see Eli Manning here tonight, do you? No. That’s because he’s afraid of Eli Manning. Eli Manning made Tom Brady his (expletive). He made him his (expletive)!”

He then led the crowd in a chant for Brady.

“Eli. Manning. Made. Tom. Brady. His. (Expletive),” Burgundy shouted, urging those in attendance to chant along. “One, two, three… Eli. Manning. Made. Tom. Brady. His. (Expletive)!”

Before signing off, Burgundy had one closing thought for Brady.

“You won’t be forgotten. You’ll always be remembered as Eli Manning’s (expletive),” he said.
