Peyton Manning reacts to Tom Brady's second retirement announcement
Tom Brady shocked the whole football world with a video announcing his retirement this morning. He said this time it is 'for good', contrary to what happened last year when he left the NFL only for 40 days.
This second retirement has brought tons of reactions, including Peyton Manning's. The former Broncos and Colts quarterback shared a hilarious comment on Brady's announcement, remembering what he did after the first time Tom left football.
"You know, he [Tom Brady] retires the first time, I ask for his address," Manning said to Games with Names. "I'm like 'I'm not going to just text you: Congrats on this incredible career'. I write him this eloquent handwritten letter in cursive, mail it with a bottle of wine.
"When you come back and play, I should get the letter back and the wine back. No. Tom's just keeping it. I mean, supposedly he reads the letter often just to see the nice things that I said about him. I'm like, if he expects another letter, he's mistaken."
