Peyton Manning is set to have a long list of former teammates and coaches showing up to his Hall of Fame ceremony in Canton this weekend. But some people were surprised to hear that long time rival Tom Brady would be taking time out of his busy Training Camp schedule to make an appearance.
“Tom Brady is coming in, sitting in my section,” Peyton Manning said during Fox’s Hall of Fame preseason game broadcast between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys on Thursday.

“I’m not sure how my Colts teammates will handle that, but that means a lot that he’s taking the time,” he joked.
With his newfound social media presence, Tom Brady shared a funny reaction to agreeing to be in Canton for his old pal, Peyton Manning.
I just need to make sure he’s really done. Can’t risk this guy coming back… https://t.co/8afUVxicjO

Tom Brady and Peyton Manning were often compared as the greatest quarterbacks of the past generation. But Brady has put that debate to bed and solidified himself as the GOAT in recent years.
Over their storied careers, Manning and Brady went head-to-head a total of 17 times, with Brady winning those matchups 11-6.
Brady obviously has the edge in the trophy department, too. His seven Super Bowl wins are much more than Manning’s two.
But there is no doubt that both Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are bonafide first ballot Hall of Famers, and we were lucky to have been able to marvel at their rivalry for so many years.
This weekend should be fun.
