Brady says NFL warned him about throwing tablet on sideline

Tom Brady will think twice before throwing another tablet on the sideline.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback went viral after tossing a Microsoft Surface tablet in the fourth quarter of Week 15's shutout loss to the New Orleans Saints.

"I did get a warning from the NFL," Brady said Monday night, according to Jenna Laine of ESPN. "I can't throw another Surface or else I get fined. Imagine that! Imagine that."

Brady said he apologized to the league after the incident.

"I won't throw another Surface," he added. "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."

The 44-year-old struggled against the Saints, completing just 54% of his passes with no touchdowns and one interception. He's faced New Orleans five times since arriving in Tampa Bay and has lost all four regular-season meetings but won the teams' playoff matchup last season.
