Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are currently at very different phases of their respective lives, and the New England Patriots quarterback has no problem rubbing that in to his good buddy and longtime rival.
As Brady prepares for yet another NFL season, Manning appears to have settled nicely into retirement. This week, Manning is taking part in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The 8-handicap has hit a few shots that make him look more pro than amateur, including this one:

Despite what the Fore Play caption said, Brady does not believe he could have made a better shot than Manning in that situation. Why? According to TB12, Manning is a better golfer than him right now because “he’s had much more practice these last few years.”
Not true. Peyton is the better golfer right now. He’s had much more practice these past few years. https://t.co/etoGOmd0c0

Ouch.
While Brady and Manning had one of the greatest rivalries in NFL history on the field, they are actually very good friends. The jab Brady took at Manning over the Pro-Am is similar to what Brady said about Peyton in a private email that created some controversy a few years back, and now we see why Manning was never offended. That is apparently the type of relationship the two legends have.
