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.
