Tom Brady, the legendary quarterback who retired from his NFL career earlier this year, has always been known for his fierce competitiveness and sharp wit. One particular instance that stands out is when Brady took a playful jab at fellow quarterback Josh Allen, mocking Allen for not having any Lombardis to boast about.

In 2022, a thrilling and star-studded golf event named “The Match” took place, featuring iconic NFL quarterbacks Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers teaming up to face off against the talented duo of Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes. As one can expect, trash talk to hype up the game was quite rampant before the competition and while Allen did get the better of Brady at first, it was the 7x Super Bowl king who had the last laugh.
Brady and Allen’s Playful Banter at “The Match”
During “The Match” golf event, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen playfully taunted Tom Brady by bringing a golf ball adorned with Brady’s infamous NFL scouting combine photo from 2000. The picture, which Brady has humorously tried to erase from the internet due to its frequent reposting, became the center of attention ahead of the competition.
In a video posted by the Sports Illustrated Twitter handle, Allen was seen mocking Brady’s old age and said, “The picture is so old that they had to shrink it down and couldn’t use the whole thing.”

In response to Allen’s witty move, the seven-time Super Bowl champion, Tom Brady, didn’t miss the chance to troll his younger opponent. Brady showcased his wit by presenting a golf ball featuring a depiction of the Lombardi trophy, a symbol of his seven Super Bowl victories.
As the playful banter unfolded, Brady amusingly questioned Allen about the Lombardi trophy on his golf ball, knowing full well that the young quarterback had yet to claim a Super Bowl title. “Josh, have you ever seen one of these? Do you know what that is?” Brady asked with a lighthearted smirk, to which Allen replied, “I’ve seen it.”
Last year in an exhibition golf match Josh Allen was using a ball with Tom Brady’s combine photo on it.
So Tom Brady came back later using a golf ball with a Lombardi Trophy on it and said, “Hey Josh, have you ever seen one of these?”
