Tom Brady appeared at the Indianapolis 500 over the holiday weekend and it's no surprise that he was met with a roaring chorus of boos from Indianapolis Colts fans. The Brady-Peyton Manning rivalry was a fierce one during both players' times in the league and Colts fans certainly hate that Brady is crowned as the G.O.A.T. and not Manning.
Well, after getting booed by Indy natives, Brady clapped back on social media, trolling Colts fans on his Instagram story. "PS: It was nice to get in one more successful drive in front of a bunch of Colts fans" with a laughing emoji.
Tom Brady taunts Colts fans again (and this one hurts)
It's no secret that Brady had the Colts' number during his lengthy NFL career, going 16-4 against them. The Patriots took down the Colts in four of their five playoff appearances against them and that includes two AFC Championship Games. Of course, it wasn't always just about the quarterback but with how quarterback-driven the league was/is, Brady gets the glory here.
Colts fans also don't respect Brady due to Deflategate, which occurred in the AFC Championship in the 2014 season. Brady was accused of using deflated footballs to gain an advantage in what ended up being a lopsided Patriots victory over an Andrew Luck-led Colts squad.
The fact of the matter is that Brady's Patriots won a lot of games against the Colts and fans clearly aren't going to forgive him for that (or Deflategate) anytime soon. That being said, after Indianapolis natives booed him, did fans really think he was going to just sit back and take that kind of taunting?
If anyone can flex on another team, Brady has the bragging rights to do so against Colts fans, as unfortunate as that is. Hey, at least Manning and the Colts got him in the 2006 season on their way to winning Super Bowl XLI.
