Eli Manning was absent from Netflix’s "Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady" on Sunday night even as the New York Giants great was a thorn in the legend’s side during his career.

Brady included Manning and Giants fans at the end of his speech during the show. His message? "F--- you." Manning’s Giants topped the Patriots in Super Bowls twice and represent two of Brady’s losses in the big game.

Manning had a great response to why he wasn’t in Los Angeles for the event.

"I thought about attending the Roast of Tom Brady last night, but I did not want to Roast him for a 3rd time!!" he wrote on X.

Peyton Manning was at the roast and welcomed Brady to the stage before the seven-time Super Bowl winner took his chance at roasting everyone who attended.
