The dramatic game of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the New Orleans Saints ended in a victory for the former team. While the news was powerful and worthy of rejoicing, nobody could forget the outburst of the leading Bucs quarterback. The game was a rocky one. Surely, the team suffered a great deal of pressure. But it was more evident when the fans saw Tom Brady flinging tablets and shouting profanities at his teammates. This did not sit well with the Hall of Famer tight end, Shannon Sharpe, who did not hold his tongue before rebuking him.

Tampa Bay’s star, Tom Brady, faced grave issues since the start of the matchup. His team could not score any points against the New Orleans Saints. They could not score until late in the third quarter. And could not find the end-zone until the fourth quarter. Definitely a slower start this season.

Tampa Tom was frustrated and maybe many guessed what came next. Things went awry at the start of the fourth quarter as the tension kept building. The seven-time Super Bowl-winning QB made gun signs at the Saints cornerback, Marshon Lattimore. The instigation erupted in a brawl in which Leonard Fournette and Mike Evans joined. Consequently, the suspension hit Evans and Lattimore because they laid each other on the ground. Before this altercation, Brady threw his tablets on the ground and talked crassly with his teammates.

He’s wearing his emotions on his sleeve. And it’s starting and looking at it. He looked like he’s not resting as peacefully as he once did. So off the field issue and that’s why I’m saying, Skip, you got a clear mind.” Sharpe maybe was alluding to the QB’s marriage, which is rough at the moment. And therefore, fans saw the volatile side of Brady. Or maybe it was because the pressure to win against the Saints was too much to handle.
