Anyone who has ever felt the urge to rage-quit a game of Madden and fire their controller across the room can likely identify with Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady. During last week’s win over the New Orleans Saints — a game that saw Brady miserable before, during, and after — the veteran quarterback broke not one, but two Microsoft Surface tablets.
Now the entire NFL has been warned.
According to Jay Glazer of Fox Sports, the league circulated a memo to all 32 teams informing them that “penalties and fines” could be levied against teams if more tablets are broken:
Thanks to Tom Brady's tablet-trashing tantrum, the NFL sent every team a memo about not doing that or you'll be penalized & fined. pic.twitter.com/oxt2pC7WrQ
Brady was spotted on the sidelines last week firing a tablet in frustration as he and the rest of the Buccaneers offense struggled early in their clash with the Saints:
Brady has a history of throwing tablets on the sidelines while frustrated, particularly in games against New Orleans. This side-by-side shows some of his previous anger while squaring off against Tampa Bay’s division rivals:
Tablet Watch could be interesting Sunday when the Buccaneers host Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. After all, Brady is not the only veteran quarterback known to tussle with a tablet:
Wondered if Aaron Rodgers’ 2015 tablet toss would come up today at his locker given Tom Brady’s tablet spike last Sunday. It did.
