The seven-time Super Bowl champion raised eyebrows last weekend when he was seenyelling at teammates on the sidelineduring the Steelers game. In a video captured along the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' bench during the second quarter of the Bucs-Pittsburgh Steelers game, the quarterback was seen screaming at three of his linemen.
“You are so much better than the way you’re [bleeping] playing!” Brady yelled, perCBS News, just before halftime when the Bucs trailed 10-6.
“He is fired up, talking to his offense along the sidelines,” announcer Joe Davis said.

Earlier this week, the superstar quarterback shut down rumors that he’d be stepping away from the team mid-season — a claim that came from a former Bucs QB, Chris Simms. Simms brought up the idea that Brady would leave the sport mid-season during NBC’sPro Football Talk Live, saying that things going on in Brady’s life outside of football — such as a potential divorce from his wife of 13 years,Gisele Bündchen— could compel him to retire from the NFL before the final game of the season.
“I love the sport, I love the teammates, and I want to go do a good job for this team like I always have,” Brady said. “So, no retirement in my future.”
