While Eli Manning doesn’t come close to Brady’s seven Super Bowl wins, his two crucial Super Bowl victories still haunt the Patriots QB. Throughout the entire show, the participants made sure to remind Brady of his losses against the younger Manning.
Will Ferrell’s Hilarious Roast of Tom Brady
American actor and comedian Will Ferrell, who came in a character of Anchorman’s Ron Burgundy, brutally roasted Tom Brady while referencing his jokes around former Giants QB Eli Manning. He stated,
I mean, let’s be honest. Your best years are behind you, Tom. The Super Bowls, Gisele [Bündchen], your movie career, it’s all done, it’s all gone. But you won’t be forgotten. You’ll always be remembered as Eli Manning’s b**ch.”

Eli Manning is the only quarterback who is undefeated against Tom Brady in two Super Bowls. Their first meeting in the Super Bowl was in 2007, where, despite the Patriots being favored to win, they ended up losing 17-14 to Eli’s team. Four years later, Brady had a chance for revenge, but once again failed to succeed when the Giants secured their fourth title by winning the game 21-17.
