Peyton Manning has responded to Tom Brady’s email jab

Peyton Manning made light of the email jab Tom Brady took at him after the two faced off last season.

'Hey, Tom sent me an apology text that was unnecessary,'' Manning said. ''The fact that his emails got revealed doesn't make a lot of sense to me. So, no harm, no foul. And (I) didn't think a lot of it.''

Manning makes a good point about the emails. Perhaps the email leaks are one of the reasons Brady didn't want to turn over his phone to the NFL.

Brady's exchange with a childhood friend last November was contained in documents released as part of the NFLPA's lawsuit on behalf of Brady seeking to quash his four-game suspension.

In it, Brady, wrote: ''I've got another 7 or 8 years. He has 2.''

Manning said after Wednesday's practice that Brady was just joining the public conversation predicting when he'll retire.
