Tom Brady’s wallet didn’t get any thinner after he tossed a tablet in frustration during a 9-0 loss to the Saints on Dec. 19.
The Buccaneers quarterback, though, did get a warning from the NFL about throwing the Microsoft Surface tablet, he told Jim Gray on their SiriusXM“I can’t throw another Surface or else I get fined. Imagine that. Imagine that,” Brady said, laughing. “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.
Brady had previously apologized for throwing the tablet, and said he was “pretty pissed” at the time. “I didn’t want to throw an interception with that tablet so I made sure it hit the ground. It was out of use. There was no chance of that one being using that tablet after I got a hold of that tablet.”After Tampa Bay’s Week 15 loss to New Orleans, Microsoft had fun with the viral moment in a Twitter exchange with Saints defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson.
“Hey @Microsoft @surface , can y’all send me a new Surface Tablet? I need to give it to a friend who broke his. Thank you and Merry Christmas,”Microsoft replied, “We’ve reviewed the tape and while we don’t recommend throwing your @surface , here are some tips for caring for your Surface.” The NFL began using the Surface tablet exclusively in 2014, in a deal that cost Microsoft $400 million.
