Tom Brady has tablet-tossing meltdown in Buccaneers game
A new NFL season means a new year of players throwing Microsoft Surface tablets on the sidelines when things aren’t going their way.
During Sunday’s game against the Saints, Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady christened the new tablet-tossing season with a Rob Gronkowski-like spike as Tampa Bay’s offense struggled to get points on the board.
The Buccaneers took a 10-3 lead over the Saints midway through the fourth quarter.
This isn’t the first time Brady has taken his frustrations out on the device. Last season, the 45-year-old quarterback hurled a tablet from the bench in a 9-0 loss to the Saints in December. Brady received a warning from the league after the incident.
“I can’t throw another Surface or else I get fined. Imagine that. Imagine that,” Brady previously said on his “Let’s Go!” podcast. “I won’t throw another Surface. Although I think it was pretty good marketing for the Surface at the end of the day. I think it worked out pretty well for them.”
It remains to be seen if the league will hit Brady’s wallet with a fine in the coming days.
The Buccaneers are looking to improve to 2-0 this week after a season-opening win against the Cowboys last Sunday.
