Tom Brady ended his weekly slot on sports radio WEEI early on Monday after a host insulted his five-year-old daughter.
The New England Patriots quarterback appears on the Kirk & Callahan Show every Monday but that arrangement is in doubt after a host on another show, Alex Reimer, called his daughter “an annoying little pissant” last week.
“I’ve tried to come on this show for many years and showed you guys a lot of respect,” Brady said. “I’ve always tried and come on and do a good job for you guys. It’s very disappointing when you hear [Reimer’s comments], certainly. My daughter, or any child, certainly don’t deserve that.
“I really don’t have much to say this morning. Maybe I’ll speak with you guys some other time.”
Kirk Minihane, one of the hosts of Kirk & Callahan apologised to Brady and said Reimer has been suspended.
Reimer’s comment came as he discussed a new Brady documentary, Tom vs Time. “The first scene was so staged, where Brady is in the kitchen, his kid’s being an annoying little pissant.”
Brady will lead the New England Patriots in their Super Bowl meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles this coming Sunday. He is one of only two players to have won five Super Bowls.
