Thanks to Tom Brady, all 32 teams received a memo from the NFL this week threatening punishment for breaking tablets and/or other league-issued equipment, per @JayGlazer.

I don't really watch the NFL, but assuming he broke a Surface tablet, I'd think Microsoft is all about the free press.

Microsoft threatened to sue the NFL when commentators kept calling them ipads

Microsoft should have been threatened with my peepee going down their throat when my 13 month old Surface Pro 2 turned itself into a melty brick

I used to be a hot head and would always be snapping clipboards across my knee.
Looking back it's pretty embarrassing, one year for Christmas my coworkers bought a metal clipboard. One day I tried to break it, I couldn't and ended up throwing it and it got stuck in the sound proofing shit on the wall.
I'm chill as a cucumber now though.

Breaking and throwing shit is based. It lets people know you're serious. Not quite on the level of punching holes in walls but you're a real respect magnet.

Not in this case, I was a mid level engineer with a bad case of unwarranted self importance who couldn't see the bigger picture.
Things work much better if your subordinates are more worried about disappointing you than being worried about you flying off the handle.

Nah homie, you care a lot more about pissing off someone that's a friend you work for than someone who is strictly a boss.
Works wonders in recruiting as well.

I've cracked pencils into pieces while raging and stressing
It always makes me feel like crap afterwards when I look at the pencil pieces
plus, not controlling your anger makes it easier to do things like lash out or break pencils in the future

I punch massive dents into my beer fridge then show my wife the dents and tell her this could have been you. She straightens out for a week or two after that.

How can you be frustrated at work? You're a government contractor, just waste like 3/4 weeks of time before ordering new parts at a 900% markup from Halliburton and literally don't even bother to explain why you failed a simple task because your firm won an RFP to provide a poorly-scoped service until 2078

MS pays for them to use Surfaces. They even got upset when that deal started and announcers kept calling them iPads on air.

They're not paying extra for people to talk about the 🐐 breaking tablets is my point.
