Eli Manning Joins Twitter, Tom Brady Roasts Him

In his newfound free time, recently retired quarterback Eli Manning joined the wonderful world of Twitter on Saturday.

The former New York Giants star and two-time Super Bowl MVP announced his presence with a "Hoosiers" reference:

To paraphrase Jimmy Chitwood, “I don’t know if it’ll make any change, but I figure it’s time for me to start playing social media." pic.twitter.com/Af8IFMOiEQ

A fellow Super Bowl MVP quarterback, Tom Brady, had jokes for the man that ruined his Patriots' bid for a perfect season in Super Bowl XLII:

Welcome @EliManning, In typical fashion, you never showed up until the 4th quarter anyway 😜 https://t.co/Wbun1VS2A0

As Brady prepares to square off against Eli's brother, Peyton, in a charity golf tournament Sunday, Manning had a playful jab aimed at Brady's talent on the links:

Hope your golf game is as polished as your Twitter game. Don’t hit it in the lumberyard. https://t.co/SaPL34P2T2

It looks like this on-field rivalry will continue via social media, as Manning starts the clock for his eligibility for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, while Brady prepares for his 21st NFL season.
