Brady was quick to respond with his own jab.
“So I’ve been working on our little response video to Eli and I’m looking around the house, and I can’t find the other six of these,” Brady said holding up the Lombardi Trophy.
“Rob, can you just educate the Wrexham fans just a little bit on the history of the NFL?” Brady continued. “Thanks bud, appreciate it. I’ll see you Monday.”

Brady got the last laugh in this one, with Birmingham City coming out on top in the star-studded affair, handing Wrexham its first defeat in League One by a score of 3-1, despite the visitors scoring the first goal just minutes into the contest.
It has been a very busy few days for Brady, who was in Dallas to serve as the colour commentator for the Cowboys matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
It was Brady’s second game in the booth for FOX after signing a massive $375-million deal with the broadcaster last year.
The former QB also had another heavyweight meeting before that game, hanging out with Mike Tyson on the field before kickoff.
Tyson is set to face YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in an officially sanctioned boxing match live on Netflix from AT&T Stadium in November.
