Accused of Stealing, $300M Rich Tom Brady Offers ‘Checks’ to Peyton Manning as Colts Legend Demands Royalties….. Continue Reading
Tom Brady himself was an elite player in the league. However, there was a time, when he allegedly stole another star’s perfect game plan. You won’t believe it? Well, that’s what Peyton Manning shared recently.
During ‘The Breakdown’ podcast with Bill Belichick, host Peyton Manning revealed an incident where he accused the New England Patriots’s former quarterback Tom Brady, and his favorite partner Rob Gronkowski, of stealing his secret weapon. In the show, the Omaha Productions owner pointed to Belichick and his Brady army by saying, “Y’all stole this play from us… Gronk & Brady should’ve sent me a check every time they ran this play because they copied it from our Colts offense.” Peyton Manning was actually talking about his special play known as the “trap pass.” This play-action pass is all about timing and trickery. But what happens in this play?
Well, here the quarterback fakes a quick handoff, just enough to make the linebackers bite. They step forward, thinking it’s a run, leaving a momentary gap. That’s when the tight end makes his move, sprinting across the field. And the quarterback doesn’t wait. He fires the football quickly, aiming to connect before the linebackers recover and drop back into coverage. Whoa! That’s indeed a trap for the rival team, and Tom Brady & Rob Gronkowski pulled it through very well in most of their games. And yes, it’s true that they learned this from Peyton Manning and his offense.
True, in the sense, that Tom Brady recently admitted the sealing part as he commented on Manning’s post, where he mentioned, “After talking with Coach @billbelichick on The Breakdown about Cooper Rush’s Trap Pass, it made me think Tom & Gronk owe me royalties… and a little credit would be nice, too,” in the caption. So, the Colts legend is asking for his royalties from the Patriots’s stars. And guess what? Tom Brady replied saying, “Checks in the mail (with playful emojis).” Yes, $300 million rich Brady playfully sent a comment that he shared a check with Manning owing him for his teachings.
However, this isn’t the first time Brady accepted his stealing. Earlier too, this trap pass discussion was done between these two legends.
Did Peyton Manning previously ask Brady for money too?
The episode of Peyton’s Places, last year, with Tom Brady and Peyton Manning was pure gold. After filming, they headed over to Jim Nantz’s house to hit the golf course, and what followed was hilarious. During their playful banter, at one point, Manning asked Brady about his favorite throw.
Without missing a beat, Brady teased the Colts’s star saying, “I love throwing seams.” This resulted in Manning recalling his trap pass, as he jumped in, proudly mentioning his “trap pass.” With this, he teased that Brady and Rob Gronkowski had borrowed it. Not only that! He even joked that Brady should send him money for it, by saying, “You oughta send me money for it.”
This made Tom Brady laugh, saying that then Gronk owes him a Father’s Day gift for improving his game in accuracy. At that time, the money issue remained unresolved between them. Hence, Peyton Manning again prompted the same demand from TB12. Perhaps, this time the 7x Super Bowl champ has rested the case.
