Tuesday morning was a wild one on social media....

Why, you ask?

Because former NFL quarterbacks Tom Brady and Eli Manning were going viral for a .... baseball marketing campaign.

Brady, who was a former draft pick of the Montreal Expos before heading fully into football, posted a video on his social media channels that clearly represents a partnership with Topps, the card company.

Brady posted "It was all a dream.... right?! The video played and essentially served as Brady dreaming about what could have been had he stayed in baseball. It also basically swaps out his Patriots and Bucs career with a fictionalized career with the Expos in which he accomplishes all the same great accolades as he did in football. 

Even former Expos legends like Pedro Martinez appear in the video, reminiscing about Brady being their "teammate."

Then, the group makes light of Brady's two Super Bowl losses to the New York Giants, which we're led to believe are fictionalized baseball losses to the San Francisco Giants. 

The video ends with a picture of autographed Brady baseball cards (Expos) that are clearly going to be able to be bought or will appear as part of Topps packs.

Then, we get another video, this time of Manning, who is wearing a San Francisco Giants jersey. He's clearly playing on the two Super Bowl wins that the Giants got over the Brady-led Patriots teams in the NFL, playing upon Brady's commercial which referenced losses to the Giants.

A little confusing to put together, but fairly entertaining nonetheless.
