Comparisons of Brady, Brees and Manning
Brees and Peyton have been friendly since his Purdue days. Peyton was gracious enough to have him visit in Indy and work out with him. They have kept in touch at least somewhat according to a radio interview Brees gave last year in SD.
Here's one interesting stat on head-to-head games: I believe a Brees-led team has never been beaten by a Brady-led team in the NFL, and I believe the record is 2-0.
I also think Brees is 1-1 against Payton.
I was watching the Chargers-NE game last year - Drew had one of his best games ever, while Brady had struggled. The Pats pulled Brady at the end and played their back-up. Thay may have been why Brady was upset and ran off the field at the end without congratulating Brees.
