Tom Brady Frustrated About Being Fined for Slide vs. Cowboys

Tom Brady revealed he plans on appealing the fine he received from the league for attempting to trip Cowboys safety Malik Hooker during last Monday’s wild-card game.

Brady came under fire for what some fans deemed to be a dirty tackle attempt on the Dallas defensive back in the third quarter of the Buccaneers‘ 31–14 loss. As Hooker attempted to return a Chris Godwin fumble, the Tampa quarterback appeared to slide at the safety’s legs to bring him down. 

Though Brady did not complete the tackle and the fumble call was eventually overturned, the league issued the seven-time Super Bowl champion a $16,444 fine for unnecessary roughness, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
