Before, Eli Manning had been smiling; all of a sudden he changed his expression. He sprang on Tom within seconds, knocking him to the floor in front of a cheering audience. Other sportsmen on stage and security dashed across to stop it.

Though it seemed terrible, Tom and Eli were seen laughing again minutes later, adding to spectator confusion. Michael Rubin, CEO of Fanatics, arranged the event, which included athletes from several disciplines including Kevin Durant, David Beckham, and Derek Jeter.

Brady and Manning's moment soon stood out, nevertheless. Many followers recorded the explosive event on their phones, and within minutes the videos went on Instagram, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter).

People close to the players said the whole moment was part of a lighthearted skit that turned a bit wild. A Fanatics Fest spokesperson told People magazine, “Both Tom and Eli were in on it. It was all fun. The crowd loved every second.”

Chris Johnson, a sports analyst from FOX, said during a live segment, “You don’t usually see Tom and Eli this playful. This was obviously for the fans, and it helped. The moment also brought people back to the fierce competition two had in the Super Bowl decades ago, but now with a joyful turn.
