"If he got pissed and wanted to break a tablet, he is going to break a tablet" - Tom Brady won't care about NFL's warning, claims Richard Sherman

Tom Brady didn't break a tablet on Sunday, but going into the game, some anticipated as much from the quarterback. Some are linking his decision to save the technology to a supposed league-wide memo asking for players to refrain from breaking tablets. Speaking on the 'Richard Sherman Podcast', Mitch Eisenstein asked Richard Sherman whether there was any connection.

Here's how Eisenstein phrased the question:

"I didn't see Brady throwing any [tablets] on the sideline, but I did hear there was a league-wide memo sent out to stop breaking tablets. Is this the weirdest thing you've heard in a while, or is that just par for the course with the NFL?"

Sherman responded, claiming the quarterback will do whatever he wants with the tablets:

"That's par for the course... if he got pissed off and wanted to break a tablet, he is going to break a tablet. But I think he just wanted to show more confidence, more poise, more leadership. And that matters, especially when you've got a bunch of young receivers out there."

He went on to explain how the young receivers became the reason as to why the quarterback refrained:

"They see you throwing a fit and pissed off and it kind of puts their head to the ground. Instead, he was out there trying to encourage his guys... like, 'I know you made a mistake, but you got this.'"
