Peyton Manning trolled former rival Tom Brady for spending most of his free time lounging on his luxury yacht after hanging up his cleats last year.

Meanwhile, Brady — who was spotted lounging on his yacht a few days prior — caught wind of Manning’s comments and took to Twitter with a playful comeback.
“I’m sure the temperature was perfect,” the 46-year-old tweeted. “Peyton could never handle life outside the dome…
