Brady: Sharing locker room videos wouldn't go over well with Belichick

Winslow Townson / USA TODAY Sports

There aren't many coaches who would appreciate a player secretly broadcasting a video of their postgame locker room speech to thousands of viewers - least of all Bill Belichick.

The New England Patriots players are well-aware a stunt like the one Antonio Brown pulled Sunday night wouldn't garner many laughs at the team facility.

"That's against our team policy," Tom Brady told WEEI's Kirk and Callahan Show, according to Phil Perry of CSNNE.com. "I don't think that would go over well with our coach."

"Social media in our locker room is a no-no," safety Devin McCourty told Sirius XM NFL radio. "We don't do that while Bill Belichick is talking."

In Brown's video, Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin can be heard calling the Patriots "assholes" not long before telling players not to use social media - a cue his receiver elected to ignore.

Brady says that type of behavior wouldn't fly with Belichick or anyone in the organization.

"Every coach has a different style," said Brady. "Our coach, he's been in the league for 42 years and he's pretty old school. He's not into social media, and I think he lets everyone know that. I think our team has a policy.

"We don't show anything that should be private because he feels when we are inside our stadium, inside the walls, there has to be a degree of privacy that we have. What's done in the locker room should stay in the locker room."
