New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady abruptly ended his weekly radio interview with WEEI's Kirk & Callahan this morning, due to comments made about Brady's 5-year old daughter by another one of the radio station's hosts last week.
According to USA Today, Brady is reconsidering whether he'll appear on WEEI 93.7 fm in the future because radio host Alex Reimer called his daughter, Vivian, an "annoying little pissant" during a discussion about Brady's Facebook documentary series "Tom vs. Time."
This morning, during Brady's weekly radio appearance, he said,
"I've tried to come on this show for many years and showed you guys a lot of respect," Brady said Monday morning, according to the station. "I've always tried to come on and do a good job for you guys. It's very disappointing when you hear that, certainly. My daughter, or any child, certainly doesn't deserve that."
"I really don't have much to say this morning. Maybe I'll speak with you guys some other time," he said, before ending the interview.
WEEI has since suspended Alex Reimer for calling Brady's daughter a "pissant."
Meanwhile, Brady and the Patriots have bigger fish to fry. The 40-year old quarterback is looking to win back-to-back Super Bowls for the second time in his career, and his sixth overall alongside head coach Bill Belichick. Super Bowl LII will take place at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minnesota on Sunday, February 4th, with kickoff scheduled for 6:30pm ET on NBC.
