Tom Brady is better than Peyton Manning but not because of the reason you're thinking.

With the New England Patriots just one win away from playing in Super Bowl 50, you'd think Tom Brady's football skills would be a hot topic of conversation this week. But they're not, because everyone's talking about his looks.
It started on Wednesday when Jessie James Decker, the wife of Jets wide receiver Eric Decker, said that everyone likes to pick on Brady because he's good looking.
"I think he gets picked on because he's hot," Jessie said. "I do -- people pick on him because he's hot. You know what I mean? If it was someone else they probably wouldn't be picking on him that hard."
Brady's handsomeness isn't always a negative though.
During Wednesday's showing of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Colbert asked Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall who the better quarterback was between Brady and Peyton Manning.
This was a very light-hearted interview, so Marshall gave a very light-hearted answer that had everything to do with Brady's looks.
"Tom Brady is handsome, he has the supermodel wife, his wife makes more money than him, his hair is awesome," Marshall said. "[It's] Brady."
At that point, Colbert decided he needed to stick up for Manning.
"Peyton Manning, though, has much more forehead. He beats him on the forehead," Colbert said.
After that, the conversation moved from Brady-Manning to just Manning, and Marshall gave a serious answer when he was asked if he thought Manning would be done playing football after this season.
"It kind of reminds me of watching Kobe Bryant, right? Where these last couple years, you've seen the guy really hit a wall," Marshall said. "These are legends, living legends, and all of a sudden they can't do it anymore, physically, but I am a huge Peyton Manning fan."
Marshall's hoping that the Broncos can somehow upset the Patriots on Sunday.
"I am a fan of the redemption story, so hopefully [Manning] goes out there and wins and makes it to the Super Bowl."
