The Peyton Manning-Tom Brady rivalry lives on, even with Manning no longer playing football.
Over the weekend, Manning was at Comedy Central’s Roast of Rob Lowe, and dropped a Brady/Deflategate zinger during the roast.
You may recall that in January of 2012, actor Rob Lowe (oddly) tweeted that Manning was retiring:
Hearing my fave, #18 Peyton Manning will not return to #NFL. Wow. #Colts
— Rob Lowe (@RobLowe) January 18, 2012
That of course did not end up being the case. So, Manning used that blunder to mock Lowe, while also mocking Brady and Deflategate in the process:
Retirement hasn’t taken the fight out of Peyton Manning. #LoweRoast pic.twitter.com/0kiKBQmnb2 — Comedy Central (@ComedyCentral) August 29, 2016
“You tried to take the air out of my retirement announcement so fast, you can probably get a job as Tom Brady’s ball boy.”- Peyton Manning to Rob Lowe
That’s very well done by the Papa John’s franchisee.
If you want to see the rest of the Roast of Rob Lowe, it will air September 5 (Labor Day) at 10 PM ET on Comedy Central.
