With Sunday's high-profile matchup between the future Hall of Famers Tom Brady and Peyton Manning on tap, the 37-year-old New England Patriots quarterback acknowledged Monday that as he has aged, he's allowed himself to reflect on the rivalry with his 38-year-old Denver Broncos counterpart.

"Five, six years ago you don't think about those things," Brady said in a radio interview with WEEI in Boston. "But as you mature a little bit and realize this could always be the last one, then you do. It's pretty special.

"[Manning has] been one of the greatest players to ever play. I've been fortunate to share a field with one of the best players that has ever played the game. And every time we play a Peyton Manning-led team, it comes down to the wire. Everything is usually at stake."

I wonder if this will be a flex game, or is it too early for that? I noticed Raiders play in Seattle (this will be a CBS game), so we may be missing this game up here:ohwell:

It's too late to flex it.

No. I dream in Spanish a lot, and there are times where I forget an English word. I was talking with my sister on Skype the other night and I spoke Spanglish to her a couple of times.

I checked titantv, and we get the Chargers/Fins for the early game, and for now, the BRONCOS/Patriots.

Manning/Brady rivalry is a can't-miss type of game.

BTW......you'll be rooting for the Fins, in support for the BRONCOS, correct?

Brady is one of my favourite QB's to watch and play the game, very classy guy. Unfortunately on Sunday, I hope this happens again... how did he not fumble?

yeah. as bad ass as the sack was I 've always been more amazed by Brady not even coming close to fumbling. Probably because he knew it was coming a split second before the hit...but still...

All joking aside - he is a classy dude.

But i remember when Brady bust his knee and was out for the year - PFM phoned him to wish him well, i think there is a genuine mutual respect/friendship between them

They text each other occassionally, Brady texted him after he broke the TD record.
