It’s no secret New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is a very serious competitor on the football field.

But ping pong?

On the Tuesday episode of NFL Insiders on ESPN, wide receiver Danny Amendola was a guest on the program and shared a funny story about a time Brady lost his cool during a match against him where he broke his paddle in the process of losing.

“I knew I was better…needless to say, his competitive nature unleashed a broken paddle by the end of it,It’s the reason we love him and the reason why he’s the best quarterback,” Amendola told ESPN host Wendi Nix.

In response to Amendola’s now public claim, Brady took to his Facebook page on Wednesday with a funny response to the incident.
