Bucs QB Tom Brady celebrated his 43rd birthday yesterday and received messages from both family and friends.
And, it turns out, former on-field rivals.
Former New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan took to Twitter to send some love Brady’s way, while also having a little fun at the quarterback’s expense.
Take a look.
Happy birthday, @TomBrady! Enjoy the day my brotha. Yes, I had to use this photo AGAIN 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/CGc9odwra8

That picture is of course Strahan standing over Brady in Super Bowl XLII, when the New York Giants stunned the world by upsetting Brady and the 18-0 New England Patriots.
Don’t worry, though, Brady got in a good little jab of his own with his response.
Take a look.
Thanks, Mike. Guess we’ll just have to run it back…on a football field…where I still go to work every day…😉 https://t.co/MHzPWtIDJa

Strahan hasn’t exactly been hurting in his post-NFL life. On top of a big career in television, he was also elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2014.
So, I guess Strahan can hold it over Brady’s head that he was a Hall of Famer first.
Let’s keep this friendly rivalry going!
