Since its inception, Tom Brady has quickly become a staple at the Fanatics Fest. Fans eagerly wait each year to experience what tricks the former New England Patriots quarterback has up his sleeve. Brady did not disappoint.

The fest organizers assembled a stage and a ramp similar to WWE so that the celebrities could make their grand entrance. The lights did not dim, but the roar of Cody Rhodes’ famous theme song ‘Kingdom’ began to play as Brady walked out with a novelty champion’s belt, which slid off his shoulder as he extended his arms.

The 41-year-old snatched a New York Jets jersey from one of the fans, threw it on the stage, and spat on it. Next, he plucked out a New York Giants jersey with his arch-nemesis Eli Manning’s name and tore it into two halves, as if it were made of paper.

He slowly walked toward the end of the stage before the real Eli Manning jumped on his back as revenge. Brady did not cave in. He carried the Giants legend behind the stage, not before destroying his jersey for a second time.

Brady bumped into his friend and streamer IShowSpeed at the event. Speed previously promised the 7x Super Bowl winner that he had some surprise in store for him.

One of Speed’s bodyguards handed him a tuxedo cover. He opened it to reveal an Eli Manning jersey and asked Brady to sign it for him.

Initially, Brady seemed hesitant about giving his autograph. He eventually agreed to sign it.

Brady and Manning’s showdown drew a lot of cheers

Several arcade games were set up for Brady and Manning to compete in at the event. They threw hoops, measured strength on a punching machine, and even played hockey by using washing machines as nets.

Brady dominated in all quarters. Despite pushing 48, he hooped with confidence and delivered a powerful punch, scoring 774 on the scale, compared to Manning’s 713. DJ Khaled waltzed in as the third challenger, who looked destined to beat out both, but could only manage 599.

Manning shone once they entered their element. He threw a few dots, followed by Brady, and lastly, Khaled tried his best to keep up with the legendary quarterbacks.

Brady and Manning’s rivalry is famous. They played each other on the gridiron a few times. Manning retired as a two-time Super Bowl champion, and on each occasion, his opponent was Tom Brady.

Manning played 16 seasons with the Giants and finished as ranked seventh all-time in completions (4,895), passing yards (57,023), and touchdowns (366).

Meanwhile, Brady played 23 years combined for two franchises, the Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He tops the chart in completions (7753), passing yards (89,214), and touchdowns (649).

Both players switched to the media after their retirement. Manning collaborated with NFL media and his older brother, Peyton Manning, to launch the Manning Cast. Brady, meanwhile, signed a 10-year deal with FOX Sports as an announcer. He made his debut for the network last year.
