Tom Brady has already apologized for his behavior at Sunday’s game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New Orleans Saints, where he was seen throwing his tablet on the sidelines in frustration.
Tensions were high at Sunday’s game, where the Bucs did not score a single point until after halftime. Brady’s blowup came after the second half of the game when the team kicked off with a stalled drive and punt.
While on the Let’s Go! podcast this week, Brady opened up about that outburst.
“I’ve had a pretty bad record against that tablet, unfortunately. I think I forgot the password and I couldn’t log in, so those things can be frustrating,” Brady joked, via the New York Post. “Unfortunately, the tablet just happens to get in the way, and obviously that’s the reason things weren’t going great yesterday, so I had to take it out on the poor, meaningless tablet.
“I’m trying to make sure I don’t throw my arm out when I throw it, but I was pretty pissed yesterday. Until I get it right, I’m going to keep doing it. Obviously, with repetition being the key to success, I gotta get the perfect tablet slam, which I haven’t got yet. Tune in next week to see if it happens.”
Brady wasn’t the only one showing his temper on Sunday.
During the fourth quarter of the game, a brawl broke out on the field between both teams that began with a verbal spat between Brady and Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore.
Leonard Fournette chimed in, arguing with Lattimore, who retaliated by pushing him. That’s when Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans then got involved, pushing Lattimore and triggering teammates from both sides to clear the benches and take to the field.

Evans has since been suspended for a game.
The Buccaneers are 2-0 heading into this weekend’s game against the Packers and without the services of Evans.
