    Video — Tom Brady on the Mannings: ‘They bring out the best of you’

    By Doug Farrar | Shutdown Corner – Sun, Feb 5, 2012 4:57 PM EST

    New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady sat down with former teammate WIllie McGinest for an exclusive interview on the NFL Network. Among the things Brady discussed was his knowledge that every time he goes up against a quarterback named Manning, it's always a supreme challenge. Brady's Pats had many battles with Peyton Manning's Indianapolis Colts over the last decade, and younger brother Eli has proven to be Brady's white whale of late -- the quarterback of the team Brady can't seem to master.

    "These guys bring the best out of you," Brady said. "They have a great football family, their dad [Archie Manning] obviously was a great quarterback and you know they're going to play their best. Eli always does; every time we play Eli, I sit on the sideline and watch him go up and down the field and I go, 'Can we slow this guy down?'"

      Great interview. If there was anyone who has a reason to be arrogant, it's Tom Brady. He graduated from the University of Michigan. He has a supermodel wife. And he is close to being included in GOAT discussions at his position. Somehow, Brady still comes off as the same guy he was in Ann Arbor.

      A lot of athletes could stand to emulate Tom Brady instead of acting like Keyshawn Johnson.

        Not a Pat's fan but no doubt am a Brady fan. Dude has game, class and stays out of trouble could be considered as GOAT if he didn't play the Giants in two super bowls. Too bad there are not more players like him instead of more Keyshawn and Terrells.

      Every time he opens his mouth, it only makes me love and respect him more. Looking forward to a great next season with Gronk and Hernandez that much more experienced and talented straight through to the big game. Confidence and team attitude is something this franchise does exceptionally well... not to mention 2 first round, 2 second round and 2 third round picks in the upcoming draft. I sincerely hope Peyton is back in Indy where he belongs - Eli has proven his abilities and certainly looks to all but have our number at this point but from a sentiment standpoint Brady / Peyton will always be the match up I prefer.
