Eli Manning has fun with Tom Brady's undefeated comment

Eli Manning is undefeated on Twitter, just like Tom Brady was heading into Super Bowl XLII.

The two quarterbacks have been linked ever since the Giants handed Brady his first Super Bowl loss on February 3, 2008. Not only was it Brady's first time being defeated in a Super Bowl, but it also prevented the Patriots from entering the record books by going 19-0 for the first time in NFL history.

During the NFL's Draft-a-Thon this past weekend, Brady, now with the Buccaneers, was asked if he would trade two of his seven Super Bowl rings to have completed the perfect season.

"I would, let's be real," Brady said.

The 2007 Patriots team was one of the greatest teams ever, averaging a whopping 36.8 points per game as Brady took home league MVP honors. However, following one of the most memorable moments in Super Bowl history (a certain catch made on one player's helmet), the Giants pulled off an epic upset to win the franchise's third Super Bowl Championship as Manning was named the game's MVP.

After seeing Brady's comment about the undefeated season on social media, Manning couldn't help but poke a little fun at the seven-time champion.

United Way names Lorenzo Carter its Gridiron Hometown Hero

The Giants have done some fantastic work in the community this past year.

One of the community initiatives the Giants focused on was educational equality with United Way of New York City. Linebacker Lorenzo Carter and his "team of teams" chose to partner with United Way of NYC, particularly its EducateNYC program, which works in 45 elementary, middle and high schools to help youth reach the goal of on-time graduation, while preparing them for college or a career.

"Knowledge is power," Carter said last season. "We know that right now, and we know that if we can educate kids and educate other people that look like us, then we can possibly bring them up and give them opportunities that they didn't even know that they had."

United Way of NYC recently honored Carter by naming him this year's Gridiron Hometown Heroes.

"We came together as a team and decided that one of our focuses would be educational equality," Carter said in the video below. "It was because every student deserves the best quality of learning, regardless of where they live. It was important for us to communicate to the students that we wouldn't be where we are today without the education and the help we received. Knowing that the children in our communities are facing these challenges is something that we take personal."
