See it: Giants legend Eli Manning 'attacks' Tom Brady at Fanatics Fest NYC
Former Super Bowl rivals Tom Brady and Eli Manning had another showdown, this time at the Fanatics Fest at the Javits Center in New York City.
In a grand WWE-like setting, Brady made his entrance to a raucous crowd, tearing opponents' jerseys, including that of Manning's. Eli did not take kindly to the diss, playfully "attacking" Brady.
It was all in good fun in the end, and the two legends made up and even had a catch afterward.
Over the years, Brady has been vocal about his two losses to Manning in Super Bowls XXII and XLVI. Eli outdueled him in both contests and was named MVP of both games.
That has stuck in Brady's craw ever since. Had he been able to beat the Giants, he might have nine Super Bowl rings instead of his NFL record seven.

Buccaneers GM Reveals Comparison Between Tom Brady, Baker Mayfield
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Over the last couple of the years, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have found their new franchise quarterback. Baker Mayfield has taken over since signing with the Buccaneers and has not looked back. In each of the last two years, he has led Tampa Bay to the playoffs. He has done so while putting up major individual production, finally living up to the billing of being the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. With Mayfield leading the way, the Buccaneers will be a team to watch once again in the 2025 NFL season. At this point, the NFC South is still wide open and Tampa Bay seems to be the team to beat once again. Baker Mayfield #6 of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers reacts after a play during the fourth quarter against the Chicago Bears at Raymond James Stadium on September 17, 2023 in Tampa, Florida.

While no one would compare the two players from a success perspective, general manager Jason Licht did speak out with a comparison between the two quarterbacks. Read more: Vikings' JJ McCarthy Just Got a Head-Turning 2025 Prediction During a conversation with Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, Licht revealed how Mayfield's decision to sign with the team was similar to Brady's. "Some of the same ways that Tom [Brady] chose us, Baker chose us too, because he knew that Tom chose us because it was the best place for him to win a Super Bowl, Baker chose us because it's the best place for him to revive his career," Licht said. "There wasn't agendas, and he was going to be able to just play football and try to win. So that was big for him, and he's obviously helped, big part in winning, but those players love playing with him, especially receivers. Who knows if Mike [Evans] would have chose to come here, who knows if Chris [Godwin] would have signed back, they love that guy. It's because they want somebody that's going to help them on the field too. So I hope Baker's here a long time." Last season, Mayfield played in all 17 games for the Buccaneers. He completed 71.4 percent of his pass attempts for 4,500 yards, 41 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions. Mayfield also ran for 378 yards and three more scores. Back in 2023 in his first season in Tampa Bay, he threw for 4,044 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions while completing 64.3 percent of his passes. Needless to say, the marriage between Mayfield and the Buccaneers has gone well.

Mayfield leading the Buccaneers to a championship would equal the championship Brady brought to town. Only time will tell, but the team has a new star quarterback leading the way and Mayfield deserves a lot of recognition and praise for what he's done through two years with Tampa Bay.

Chicago Sky vs. Atlanta Dream: TV channel, time and how to watch WNBA
The Chicago Sky will be looking to find some good news Sunday as they visit the Atlanta Dream in WNBA regular season play. Chicago (3-9) will be playing its second game in a challenging stretch featuring three contests in four days. That sequence didn't get off to a good start, as the Sky suffered a blowout home loss against the Phoenix Mercury on Saturday. Despite Angel Reese's dominance on the glass, the Sky have struggled mightily with turnovers and are one of the WNBA's least-efficient offenses. That doesn't bode well against Atlanta (9-4), which has turned the ball over fewer than 12 times a game, the best such figure in the WNBA this season. The Dream are also the most prolific rebounding team in the league this season, while guard Allisha Gray – who is in the top 15 league-wide in points-per-game, assists-per-game, and three-point field goal percentage – is firmly in the MVP race. Here's how to watch Sunday's WNBA game between the Sky and the Dream. WNBA All-Star Game: Caitlin Clark, Napheesa Collier lead in All-Star Game fan voting What time is Sky vs. Dream WNBA game? The WNBA regular season game between the Chicago Sky and the Atlanta Dream is set to start at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday, June 22 at Gateway Center Arena in Atlanta, Ga.

Bengals' Orlando Brown throws out his take on Steelers' T.J. Watt
The Cincinnati Bengals aren't the only AFC North team embroiled in a major contract standoff with a star pass-rusher right now. Granted, nothing around the league seems as public and messy as Cincinnati's standstill with Hendrickson, unless one counts the contract standoff with Shemar Stewart, too. But the Pittsburgh Steelers are another team going through the same thing with edge rusher T.J. Watt. Ask Bengals offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr., Watt is one of those guys right up there with Hendrickson. 'I gotta put my man T.J. Watt in here,' Brown said on ESPN's NFL Live. 'As everybody knows with T.J., man, he's impossible to keep off the stat-sheet,' Brown said. 'I mean, there's been times I've played him, I thought I did a good job in pass-protection. And he's got two tackles for a loss on me, man.' RELATED: Bengals, Shemar Stewart nuclear option includes 2026 NFL draft route Brown also used the platform to talk about Hendrickson's contract saga and its impact on the locker room. Regardless, Brown is right that Watt deserves to be right up there with the best names in the NFL, hence the contract saga there, too. Hendrickson slotting right up there numbers-wise and overall, too, explains why the Bengals would like his contract situation resolved sooner rather than later, too.
