Eli Manning and Tom Brady are old foes from their time as NFL quarterbacks. On Friday, the 2 “clashed” again at Fanatics Fest.

While in the NFL, Manning got the better of Brady not once, but twice in the Super Bowl. Manning helped guide the New York Giants to a pair of Super Bowl upsets of Brady’s New England Patriots, including Manning putting a stop to a potential perfect season for Brady in the big game.

Both former stars were in attendance for Friday’s start of Fanatics Fest in New York. The event spans 3 days at the Javits Center, as the world’s largest arena for sports and collectibles.

At one point, the players were introduced WWE style to the fans in attendance, and Brady took things a step further. He stomped and spit on a New York Jets jersey before grabbing — and ripping — to pieces a New York Giants “Manning” jersey.

Manning eventually came running in, grabbing and jumping on the back of Brady, much to the delight of the fans. It was a wild scene, but it was clearly all in good fun.

Manning, the former Ole Miss star, went on to become one of New York’s most accomplished players, winning 2 rings and setting the Giants’ all-time record for passing yards at just over 57,000 yards and 366 touchdowns. Of course, things worked out just fine for Brady as a 7-time Super Bowl champion and one of the best players in the history of the NFL.
