The Tom Brady-Peyton Manning rivalry has spanned over a decade now, but the two men who respect it the most are the two most involved in it. Tom Brady has won more of the head-to-head matches, but Manning is the one who will get all the love from Brady.
He posted a special message in light of Manning's retirement:
No matter how much everyone tried to hype up this rivalry these two always stayed down to earth and treated it just like a normal game. There may not be a QB rivalry that will ever be as good as this one, but fortunately there are some up-and-comers who have a chance of taking over the mantle.
