Peyton, Eli Manning troll Tom Brady during 'Eli's Places' visit to Knute Rockne's house
The Manning brothers seem to be enjoying their retirement. You might have seen the quarterbacks during Monday Night Football broadcasts during the 2021 NFL season.
Their next endeavor was a road trip to one of college football’s most legendary coaches, Knute Rockne, as a part of Eli’s “Eli’s Places” for ESPN+. Rockne served as the head coach for Notre Dame from 1918-1930, winning three national championships.
Even in South Bend, Peyton and @EliManning will find any reason to rag on Brady 🤣

In typical Manning fashion, the brothers had their share of jokes on the trip. Quips included Bill Belichek and Tom Brady.
“Think anybody would buy a Brady Roadster?” asked Eli.
“I don’t think any car’s gonna run on avocado ice cream,” answered Peyton, referring to Brady. “Besides, who wants a car that lost to an Eli?
Of course, the joke by Peyton is referring to his little brother’s two Super Bowl victories over the legendary quarterback.
The segment also included a recreation of Rockne’s favorite play, Old 51. Former Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn and current Irish head coach Marcus Freeman helped in the fun.
Run, @EliManning, run!

All-in-all, a pretty cool segment.
