Gary Myers On What Could Be The Final Chapter Of The Rivalry Between Peyton Manning And Tom Brady

Gary Myers is a pro football columnist for the NY Daily News.

Gary joined Ed and Steve to talk about the Brady vs Manning rivalry and his new book on those two.

Gary started by talking about whether or not this is the end of Peyton Manning's career saying "I don't think that he wants to put himself through this physically...he has an incredible opportunity now with two more victories to win the Superbowl."

Gary then talked about Tom Brady at Michigan and why it didn't seem to work there saying "until his fourth year in the program he hadn't proven to Lloyd Carr that he was the best QB on the team." Gary also talked about a time when Brady went into Lloyd Carr's office and told him he was going to transfer back home to Cal, but eventually decided to stay at Michigan and finish his college career.

Gary also talked about the previous meetings for the two QBs and how he thinks this rivalry will finish this weekend. Gary also shared an incredible story of how the New York Jets almost had Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, and Tom Brady at various points throughout their history.
