Tom Brady brutally trolled his former rival Eli Manning on Friday by ripping his New York Giants jersey in half.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion made an appearance at Fanatics Fest in New York City, much to the delight of the thousands of fans in attendance.
Brady spoke to some of the crowd at Manhattan’s Javits Center before then taking part in a WWE-style performance later on.
The Fox commentator came out to the theme song of pro wrestler Cody Rhodes wearing sunglasses and carrying a WWE-style championship belt.
But, as he made his way down to the walkway, Brady was presented with a Giants jersey that had ‘Manning 10’ on the back.
The former New England Patriots quarterback then ripped the jersey in half in a playful dig at Manning.

Brady’s actions prompted Manning, who was watching on, to storm the stage and climb on his rival’s back.
Their rivalry dates back to their stellar NFL careers, when Manning and the Giants were able to briefly halt the Patriots’ dominant run to beat them in two Super Bowls.
The Giants stunned Bill Belichick’s team to win 17-14 in Arizona in 2008, despite being heavy underdogs after Brady led his men to a perfect 16-0 regular season.
Then, four years after, the Patriots were stunned by the Giants again when they were beaten 21-17 in Indianapolis. Manning was named Super Bowl MVP that year.
Brady and Manning quickly regained their composure and were later pictured competing against each other in a baseball pitching contest.
