The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fell to the New Orleans Saints 9-0 on Sunday night.
It was an ugly affair from start to finish that saw quarterback Tom Brady finish with 214 yards, no touchdowns and a pick on 26 of 48 passing.
In addition both Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, two of Brady’s top wide receiver targets, left the game with injuries and did not return.
All of that led to a lot of frustration for the consensus GOAT. And that frustration boiled over when he threw his interception:

The message to coach Dennis Allen there was clear: go f**k yourself.
Brady’s tantrum didn’t stop there.

After the game, Brady shined a light on his frustrations.
“Just a tough night,” Brady said after the fact.
“Didn’t do much of anything right. I wish it was just one thing. It was a lot of things. We just didn’t play well enough. We’re not going to win scoring no points.”
While Brady’s frustration is understandable, there is a right way and wrong way to handle things. He opted for the latter on Sunday night. And he has a history of pulling these kinds of stunts.

There’s a reason why New England Patriots coaches had such a strong reaction to him after he left and why they took such joy in his failures.
Brady can be a tough guy to work with, and he showed why this past weekend.
