Tom Brady had three Super Bowl wins before Peyton Manning got one. In a different category, Manning has an early lead.

Manning won the 2023 Sports Emmy for “Outstanding Personality — Event Analyst” on Monday night. The victory traces to his work on the ManningCast alternative to Monday Night Football.

That’s the category Brady will be in, if/when he begins working for Fox. He’s schedule to start in 2024.

Of course, Brady is in the process of beating Manning to the “minority owner of an NFL team” punch.

The competition will continue, indefinitely into the future. Here’s one thing that can be taken to the bank. The fact that Peyton has won an Emmy will make Brady even more determined to get one of his own, ASAP.

74 responses to “Peyton Manning wins Sports Emmy, before Tom Brady

  1. Manning must be amazed. He won an Emmy for basically sitting in his basement and being himself.

  2. Peyton Manning is why Brady went into the shotgun spread base and why Brady was awful in postseasons from 2007-2012.

    The irony.

  3. I know a small trophy shop in Hollywood that will make Peyton an Emmy. They can make him an Oscar, Tony, and a Grammy if he likes.

  4. I’m a slightly bigger fan of Brady as a player over Peyton but, let’s be honest, Manning has better comic timing than Brady, by a mile.

  5. There’s no question who the more “accomplished” quarterback – but there is also no question who people would rather have a beer with. Peyton’s SNL skit alone is all time. Brady isn’t that

  6. But you know Manning actually has a great personality off the field. Brady, not so much.

  7. Best article I’ve read in days! Laughed out loud even! Peyton by a mile! Brady’s shady!

  8. As far as I’m concerned, those guys are retired. I’m more interested in Mahomes and Joe Burrow competing with Trevor Lawrence and Kenny Pickett.

  9. Peyton +Eli+Omaha Productions is going to get big money from Mickey Mouse in the future.

  10. Good for Peyton. Manning has had less to work with than Brady his entire career.

  11. I don’t think Tom Brady ever has to worry about winning an award for “outstanding personality”.

  12. Peyton Manning is comfortable in front of a camera – and is informative, engaging, and funny. Tom Brady is none of those things, so any broadcasting awards he might be nominated for once he begins at FOX will be questionable, if not sketchy. Getting a deja vu vibe here…

  13. When it comes to their business activities, I doubt either one of these guys sees himself as being in competition with the other.

  14. Ever notice how petty Brady is in his banter with Peyton? He was always jealous that fans love Peyton’s game and can’t stand Brady’s 3 yard passes being called the greatest.

  15. Peyton wouldn’t have lost the biggest game in sports history like Brady did.

  16. Peyton should have gotten an Emmy for his hysterical performance in the 2003 AFC Champuonship.

    ————–

    Ever notice that Brady is actually good friends with Peyton and respects his game. Ever notice that Brady led the league in deep pass attempts or was near the top so many seasons. Ever notice that Peyton could barely throw a spiral. Even notice that Brady won 2 Super Bowls and went to 3 after Peyton retired. Ever notice that Brady had the top selling jersey for so many years.

    Fans love or at least respect Brady… Including Peyton. Haters don’t.

  19. Shocker. Manning talked the game though Romo for one is much better. Brady was the best to ever play the game and at that only Montana was a worthy, though distant comparison.

    ———–

    Marshall Faulk – HOF, Marvin Harrison HOF, Edgerrin James HOF, Reggie Wayne 8 season over 1000 yards including 6 over 1300, Joseph Addai 19 TDs and back to back 1000 yard seasons,
    Jeff Saturday.

    Brady had Corey Dillon for 3 seasons Moss for 2 seasons, Neither in their prime. Then Gronk. Only players in the conversation with the players above.

    Edelman was a nice player, so was Welker, bot nobody is mistaking them for Harrison and Wayne.

    Brady had far less to work with.

    I think every person that has met Brady likes him. Not so much for Peyton. He was a jerk when he was younger. Also, lets not be fooled by Peyton sponsoring pizza, beer and Buicks. He’s a rich guy that likes nice things too. He’s not driving around in a Buick off camera. You might not like Brady, but what you see is what you get. It’s not an act to make everyday people like him.

  23. There’s no question who the more “accompli.

    shed” quarterback – but there is also no question who people would rather have a beer with. Peyton’s SNL skit alone is all time. Brady isn’t that

    ++++++

    He didn’t know how to play football when his favorite plays were taken away.

    ONE of the playoff defense was able to do it, and usually it was enough to keep him from winning SB.

    That is why those QB who you think were more “talented” im general had hard time winning SB.

    Huh? Peyton was trounced in the Super Bowl. Embarrassing.

    That wasn’t the biggest game in sports history. SB42 was. And Brady lost because he was terrible in that game.

    Can’t blame the defense when you have the greatest offense of all time going up against a middling defense and scoring only 14 points.

  25. Peyton > Brady at everything.
    —————-

    Come again?

    Manning in his 4 SB appearances
    1,001 yards 3 TDs 5 INTS 77.4 Rate

    Brady’s arguably worst SB appearances by the #s – both Rams and Giants games
    949 yards 4TD 2INTs 82.8 Rate

    I did not want to embarrass Manning’s SB stats so I will not put up Brady’s best 4 games or even the 3 losses plus another because he slung it against Philly in the loss.

  26. Manning does have one of the funniest SNL segments ever. That alone should have won him an Emmy.

  27. Manning’s career sans elite coaching: 2 Super Bowl titles and 3 appearances, plus 3 wins over Tommy in AFC Championship games. Multiple NFL records.

    Brady’s career sans elite coaching: Losing record

    Says it all folks. I can’t add anything to that that this doesn’t say already.

  28. It’s hard in football to declare who is the best based on wins. It’s a team game.

    Manning had better receivers. But Brady had better defenses, a better organization, and the GOAT coach. I’d be curious how many rings both would have had they switched situations.

    I do think Brady is better and the GOAT – but I don’t see a big gap. They were both great. Pats fans should give Manning more props – if he’s supposed to be some choker, who did Brady really have to get by to get to the SB so many years? The AFC then wasn’t like it is today.

  29. I’d be curious how many rings both would have had they switched situations.

    ++++++++

    If Joe burrow had been able to score 24 points, Bengals would have won the SB and beat mahomes in AFCCG.

    Bengals would be a dynasty with Brady.

    Belichick the garbage? With so much invested in defense, he couldn’t even win a divisional title.

  30. Says it all folks. I can’t add anything to that that this doesn’t say already.
    ————-

    You try so so hard. You are the Rudy of PFT.

  31. Sorry cult but Brady will never be admired as Peyton nor be half the football and cultural icon Peyton is. Peyton > Brady at everything as I pointed out above.

  32. Manning’s career sans elite coaching
    —————-

    What about HOF coach Tony Dungy? You know, the guys with a better record than Bruce Arians, better winning %, two time COY, and as mention before – 2016 HOF inductee.

  33. Sorry cult but Brady will never be admired as Peyton nor be half the football and cultural icon Peyton is. Peyton > Brady at everything as I pointed out above.

    This must be in the mind of Belichick the garbage when he tried to push Brady out.

    Ok but that doesn’t change Peyton’s AFC championship and SB appearance with a subpar coach. I bet Peyton would have a much better record with Bowles than Tommy did.

  35. I bet Peyton would have a much better record with Bowles than Tommy did.

    +++++++++++++++++

    You are probably right on this one : Manning might even win MVP.

    But he wouldn’t be able to score 30 in 3 consecutive games, meaning, Bucs wouldn’t have won SB with him.

  36. Montana is nothing but a nice little system QB with a little arm who is nothing without elite coaching from the likes of Walsh, Seifert and Schottenheimer.

  37. Bengals would be a dynasty with Brady.

    Said no one.

    Ever.

    All he had to do was to score 24 points, that is what Brady did in 2003 and 2004 season playoff, with much worse talents around him.

  40. Belichick the garbage? With so much invested in defense, he couldn’t even win a divisional title.
    ===========

    What about 2007, the #1 offense of all-time?

    What about 2010-2012, 3 more of the top 10 offenses in NFL history?

    Why didn’t they win those seasons? (I ask, for the 10th time… knowing you can’t answer)

  41. I told you 10 times: there are two kinds of ways of playing football for a QB:

    #1, do what I want to do, the way that produces great stats and wins QB MVP.
    #2, take what is given, THE WAY A QB SHOULD PLAY .

    Between 2007 and 2012, Brady played like Peyton, the 2nd way, the way to lose in playoff.

  42. All he had to do was to score 24 points, that is what Brady did in 2003 and 2004 season playoff, with much worse talents around him.

    I would LOVE to have seen Brady play those Ravens and Steelers defense twice a year in the 2000s

  43. Between 2007 and 2012, Brady played like Peyton, the 2nd way, the way to lose in playoff.
    =============

    Belichick gave him “talents”.. 4 of THE best offenses ever…. and he couldn’t win.

    Noted.

  44. Lol, he played Steelers in AFCCG.

    Ravens defense? Other than 2000 season, what made it better that LOB?

    BTW, in what way did Belichick’s defense played better than Bengals defense in playoff, huh?

  45. I would LOVE to have seen Brady play those Ravens and Steelers defense twice a year in the 2000s

    So would have Brady. He dominated the AFCN with a 28-11 record.

    I think it’s funny the cult blames the defense for Tommy and the greatest offense that ever existed in this league (and still is) managing only 14 points against a middling Giants defense and losing the biggest game in sports history.

    Did you study elementary physics when you were in school?

    A QB could have both peak Moss and peak Rice, and it would not mean anything if he didn’t have 3 seconds in pocket.

    Actually 32-13 career vs the AFC North.
    Total domination of the Steelers 12-4 regular season and playoffs 35 tds 5 ints in 16 games. Vs the ravens 9-5

    So a combined 21-9 vs the ravens and Steelers.
    Yeah if only he okayed in the big bad AFC North

  49. So would have Brady. He dominated the AFCN with a 28-11 record.

    Noted, and undeniable.

    But would he have survived 4 games of that each season?

    Those rivalries were vile. Suggs, Ray Lewis, Joey Porter, Harrison, Polamalu.. Burfict.. not the creampuffs of the AFC lEast.

  50. Ravens defense? Other than 2000 season, what made it better that LOB?
    ===========

    The Ravens were a top 10 defense 11 of 13 seasons 1999-2011

    They were top 5 7 of those 11 seasons

    The LOB had a nice 5 year run…..

  51. BTW, in what way did Belichick’s defense played better than Bengals defense in playoff, huh?
    ===========

    The Bengals… that never won a single playoff game with Marvin Lewis as HC?

    Remains tied for the Browns lead in Playoff wins since 1995.

    1 more than the entirety of Marvin Lewis’ career. Despite having 6 more opportunities.

    None of them won the Super Bowl. That’s because in all 4 cases Brady played lousy and was solely responsible for his team’s exit.

    His 32-13 record vs the AFC North disagrees..

    You really think it easily javelin made a difference if he played them twice a year? Maybe they split a few times

    FYI… the act of “I’m a Patriots fan” that doesn’t like Tom Brady is so fraudulent.. come up with a new troll gimmick then you won’t have to spend an entire day (see all the comments from you on this article alone) on Brady related articles trying to convince people he wasn’t that good.
