Tom Brady | Canton, Ohio | Usa Today
Tom Brady was in attendance this past Sunday for his friend Peyton Manning’s Hall of Fame enshrinement. Of course, this meant that the seven-time Super Bowl Champion was behind enemy lines; however, Brady was not going to miss one of his greatest adversaries and his pal’s induction into the Canton.
During Peyton Manning’s induction speech — the two-time Super Bowl Champ mentioned Tom Brady — the crowd erupted in boos.
“The 2021 induction class wants to thank those previous inductees who gave longwinded acceptance speeches, forcing us to have a whopping six minutes to recap our football careers. I want to give a special thanks to my old rival, Ray Lewis, for being here tonight. Ray just finished giving his speech that he started in 2018.”
“Next year, acceptance speeches will probably shrink to four minutes. And speaking of rivals, my good friend Tom Brady is here tonight. (Insert Booing) By the time Tom Brady is inducted in his first year of eligibility in the year 2035, he’ll only have time to post his acceptance speech on his Instagram account.”
Another classic Manning-Brady moment.@TomBrady

Brady is used to being booed as much as he has been praised, so this, of course, is nothing new to him. Buccaneers head coach was asked what he thought about his quarterback being booed during Manning’s enshrinement speech, and his reply was typical Burce Arians.
“Look at who was there — Denver, Indianapolis, Steelers. He got booed. Hell yeah, he got booed.”
Scott Bradford of Bucs Life News was in attendance for yesterday’s enshrinement and said the reason Tom Brady was booed was due to the fact that there were a large number of Colts and Raiders fans that were in attendance. They were the ones primarily doing the booing. Either way, you can boo Tom Brady all you want in Canton, but his place in the Great Hall is more than guaranteed — meaning your booing does not even matter.
