New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady cut short his weekly appearance on a Boston sports radio station Monday, citing his unhappiness with comments made by one of the station's hosts about his daughter last week.
"I've tried to come on this show for many years and showed you guys a lot of respect," Brady said on WEEI's "Kirk & Callahan", per ESPN. "I've always tried and come on and do a good job for you guys. It's very disappointing when you hear [the comments about my daughter], certainly. My daughter, or any child, certainly don't deserve that."
The comments were made by Alex Reimer on a separate WEEI show during a discussion about Brady's Facebook documentary "Tom vs. Time." Reimer called Brady's daughter "an annoying little pissant."
Brady added he would reconsider if he wanted to continue to be a part of the show.
"I really don't have much to say this morning," Brady said. "Maybe I'll speak with you guys some other time."
Brady elaborated on his stance during Super Bowl Opening Night in Minneapolis on Monday.
"I just think any parent is really protective of their kids, and I've never stayed away from criticism," said Brady, who added he didn't believe Reimer should be fired. "I understand that criticism is part of sports, but I certainly don't think that my children, or any other children, deserve to be in that. So that's how I felt."
WEEI and the Patriots announced last week a multi-year extension of their partnership, and the release highlighted weekly features headlined by Brady and Bill Belichick.
Reimer was indefinitely suspended last Friday, per WEEI.
