Tom Brady insults referee Miller certainly shouldn't have complained about a roughing the passer call since Brady clearly threw the ball away beforehand. The 44-year-old reacted correspondingly angry when he got up again with a bleeding lip and saw no yellow flag on the ground.As can be seen in the repetition of the scene, he stormed towards the referee crew with a red face and let his disp...
