Things got testy during Sunday night's matchup between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New Orleans Saints. Tom Brady and the Bucs were on the wrong end of a humiliating 9-0 shutout at the hands of the Saints, which is why it isn't surprising that the GOAT was in a rather foul mood throughout the contest.

At one point, the Bucs superstar got involved in a heated exchange with Saints defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, who at that time was acting as the team's head coach with Sean Payton placed under COVID-19 protocols. Brady approached the Saints bench and appeared to have told Allen to “Go f–k yourself”:

Brady was clearly frustrated and he let his emotions get the better of him. Late in the game, the Buccaneers quarterback also had a bit of a tantrum as he hurled his tablet in irritation.

In a recent episode of Brady's Let's Go! podcast, the Bucs star broke his silence about his NSFW incident with Allen. According to him, it was nothing more than a heat-of-the-moment type of occurrence:

“We were just exchanging pleasantries,” Brady said (h/t Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times). “We were very competitive in that moment and we were emotional. It’s just football players being football players.”

Fair assessment from the GOAT here. Brady has played down the untoward incident as he looks to move past it.
