Lawrence Tynes took to Twitter to congratulate “Eli’s Brother” after he passed Brett Favre for most career passing touchdowns, but he also trolled Peyton and all Broncos fans in the process.
Congrats to Eli's brother for breaking the TD record. #elihas2 #peytonhas1 @giants @broncos

@broncos fans why all the hate. Peyton is Eli's brother. I wasn't being disrespectful. Just working with a character count. Facts are Facts

The facts are that you don't get rings for breaking records. You get them for winning championships. I could mention playoff records to

I get Tynes is going to stand by his teammate and that’s great and all, but lets be real here. Peyton Manning is arguably the greatest quarterback t0 ever play the game of football despite his playoff record and despite his brother having two rings to his one. The resume isn’t even close, it only becomes close if you look at a small sample size. If we are just going off rings then that must make Eli Manning better than Dan Marino since he never won a title. See how ridiculous that sounds? Tynes can make light of Peyton’s records all he wants, but it won’t change the fact that he is one of the best ever, rings be damned. You can have Eli, I’m taking Peyton every day of the week and twice on Sundays.
