Tom “Terrific” Brady, is officially lending his support for fellow Hall of Famer Peyton Manning. Brady told WEEI in Boston that he ‘fully supports’ the Broncos embattled quarterback who is tied to a now-recanted investigation that allegedly revealed HGH, or human growth hormone, was sent to Manning’s wife in 2011.
Here is what he said:
“I fully support Peyton and my friendship with him over the years. He’s a guy I can always count on, and he’s been someone who has always been so supportive of me. We’ll have lifelong friendships. Truthfully, I don’t put much into anything. I have a lot of friends, I have a lot of support, and he has the same. I’m a big fan and supporter of his, so that’s how I really feel about everything.”

Brady has had his own difficulties this season with damning allegations. He was suspended four games for his role in Deflategate, before it was overturned by the league much to the chagrin of those that felt he and the Patriots instituted an environment of cheating in New England.
And remember, he kind of supports Donald Trump. So his endorsements probably don’t carry too much weight right now.
