Tom Brady might not have the time to respond to Peyton Manning’s constant jabs in the Monday Night Football “booth” — and by “booth” we actually mean his man cave — but former New England Patriots stars sure do.

Step right up, legendary cornerback Ty Law! What did you think about what you heard during the Green Bay Packers-Detroit Lions broadcast this week?

On Monday, Manning took a couple (playful) shots at Brady, but one more generally at the Patriots, alluding to their previous cheating allegations/infractions.

Law, who certifiably owned Manning throughout a good portion of his career, took exception to what the Hall of Famer said.

Hey, Law’s a Hall of Famer too! Don’t you forget it!

His input here is as worthy as anybody’s, and he didn’t exactly take it as a joke.

Patriots legend Ty Law fired back at Peyton Manning’s “cheating” jab.

Manning joked that every time the Patriots came to Indianapolis he never discussed strategy near his locker, fearing it was bugged by Brady and Bill Belichick, which … really isn’t that outlandish to consider when you realize the Patriots were hit with a serious penalty for filming the Cincinnati Bengals’ sideline in 2019. The Cincinnati Bengals.

But don’t tell that to Law, who had this to say on The Greg Hill Show on Tuesday:

"“You know what’s even stranger about that comment is that I agree with Peyton: He is extremely right that it’s very strange to see seven guys in the shower talking about football. But you know what, he might’ve thought that because we were in his head a little bit.“Let’s be honest, we were in his head a little bit. That’s OK. That’s Bill Belichick scheming up things and giving players confidence, so you probably did think we had a bug in there because we knew what you were doing. I ain’t gonna tell no secrets right now, but we knew what he was doing. So go ahead in the shower with all your buddies.”"

Oh MAN! Now, for some highlights of Law ruining Manning’s early career:

Law, a three-time Super Bowl champ and two-time All-Pro, picked off Manning NINE times in his career. FIVE of them came in the playoffs, three of which sealed the Colts’ fate in the 2004 AFC Championship Game. The other two were recorded when Law was a member of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2007 … though the Colts won that game and eventually the Super Bowl.

Hey … maybe it was Law doing the bugging the entire time since his success against Manning continued after his Patriots days?
