Peyton Manning says he sent Tom Brady a heartfelt gift when Brady announced his retirement nearly two months ago, and the Hall of Famer wants it back.

Manning was a guest at an event hosted by The MINT Collective on Saturday. He revealed that he sent Brady a bottle of wine and a nice handwritten note after the seven-time Super Bowl champion said he was retiring. Now that Brady has unretired, Manning expects a refund.

Brady and Manning are always trading funny barbs. In fact, Brady recently compared his retirement 180 to Manning joining a social media site.

Peyton should look at it this way — Brady is going to retire at some point. Even if that isn’t for another two or three years now, Brady already got his gift. Manning’s work is done.
