Tom Brady apparently is still haunted by his two Super Bowl losses to Eli Manning and the Giants.
Despite winning his record seventh NFL championship in his first season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the former New England Patriots star quarterback admitted in a podcast appearance this week that he’d like another crack at the Giants in the postseason.
“I got a question for you. How could you hate me when you’re a Giants fan? You should love me! That was the only team I never beat, was the freakin’ Giants,” Brady said on The Complex Sports Podcast. “It’s all good. I’ve got to figure out how to beat the Giants someday. Maybe we gotta have some type of rematch now that I’m in Tampa in a championship game.”
The Giants upset Brady and the Pats in Super Bowl XLII, ending New England’s bid for a perfect season, and then beat them again in Super Bowl XLVI four years later. Manning, the MVP of both games, told The Post earlier this year that the 43-year-old Brady still tells him how much those losses sting.
“It’s one of those things, it’s not something I ever say or ever think a lot about,” Manning said in an interview with The Post’s Paul Schwartz in January. “I’ve been around Tom numerous times, and I’ve never brought up a Super Bowl or our games versus them. He actually brings it up. It still bothers him a little bit, especially the ’07 one when they had the chance to go down as the greatest team of all time.
“But I don’t have any bragging rights with Tom. This is his 10th Super Bowl, and I’m so impressed with his whole career.”
Brady has posted a 7-3 record in 10 Super Bowl appearances, also losing with New England to the Philadelphia Eagles to conclude the 2017 season.
