It was a debate as heated as the pronunciation of GIF as gif or jif and it waged through all of Tuesday afternoon: Are you a tablet guy or non-tablet guy?

Bill Belichick was the one who started this madness going on a 5:25 minute rant about how he no longer has use for the sideline tablets that the NFL gives to teams before the game due to their unreliability. He said he's given them as much time as he can and is now going back to still photos.

This caused Microsoft and the NFL to both come out with statements supporting one another and their product.

On Wednesday, Tom Brady was asked about his usage or non-usage of tablets in game.

"I’ve never been too much of picture/tablet – I kind of know what I see," said Brady giving a very old school, man vs. machine answer.

He does, however, see the benefit for the staff.

"It’s great for the coaches because they have a different angle. It’s hard to see when you’re seeing from the sideline. When you’re out there playing, a lot of times I can come over and tell Josh, ‘This is what happened and here’s why we did that.’"

For the most part Brady trusts his own two eyes, but isn't totally opposed to peaking over at the footage to double check on things, so he isn't totally opposed to it.

"Maybe to verify some fronts and stuff like that to make sure of where guys are shaded and identification, because in our system, we always set the scheme of blocking on every play, so we just want to make sure we get it set the right way so that everyone can really be deployed the right way," said Brady. "That’s where the pictures probably help me."

Very down the middle, can see both sides, bipartisan answer from Preside... I mean, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

By the way, it is pronounced jif.
