āHoly cow, thatās a good question," Brady said. "The team I would love to beat the most is the Giants, thereās no doubt about that, because theyāve taken away some really, you know --Ā Iāve always joked with Eli [Manning] but, yeah, and I think he likes that I bring it up all the time. So to bring it up again, I do not like losing to those guys, so when we beat them I love that.
"And the team I like to beat the least is obviously the Patriots. Again, those are my guys, man. Those are the other warriors that I went to battle with for so long. Iāve had a lot of battles over the years with different teams, thereās a lot of mutual respect in pro sports, but glad Iām through with the one last night.ā

Brady, of course, lost two Super Bowls to Manning's New York Giants, including Super Bowl XLII where the Patriots' came up a win short of an undefeated campaign. Regular season success versus the Giants has not alluded Brady, though. He's 5-1 against the Giants with eight touchdown passes and four interceptionsĀ in those games.

His most recent matchup with New York was a 25-23 victory in Week 8 last season. The Bucs and Giants are scheduled to play again in Week 11 at Raymond James Stadium on "Monday Night Football". It might end up being Brady's final matchup with the Giants.
