Tom Brady Says Radio Host Shouldn't Be Fired For Daughter Comment

SAINT PAUL, MN — Don't count Patriots quarterback Tom Brady as one of the people calling for WEEI personality Alex Reimer to get fired over comments made about Brady's daughter.

Brady was asked about Reimer at Monday night's media session. The WEEI.com writer and occasional radio host has faced a backlash after calling Brady's 5-year-old daughter a pissant during a segment Thursday night on WEEI about Brady's documentary series "Tom vs. Time." Brady made it known during his weekly interview on Kirk and Callahan Monday morning that he was aware of Reimer's comments and said he would have to evaluate whether he wants to appear on the show again.

"I think any parent is protective of their kids and I've never stayed away from criticism. 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," Brady said at Monday's Super Bowl Opening Night

Reimer has been suspended indefinitely by the radio station with no return date. Brady said he does not want to see Reimer fired for his comments.

"We all have careers and make mistakes and I'd hate for someone to change their life over something like that. That is certainly not what he intented," Brady said.

As with all opening nights and media days at the Super Bowl, there were plenty of fun and silly questions as well. Here are some of the highlights:

Brady's Favorite Man Crush?

Who else but Rob Gronkowski, Danny Amendola, and Julian Edelman?

"Those guys are pretty good looking guys. None of them are married either. Can you imagine that?" Brady said.

Brady said he also loved this year's halftime performer Justin Timberlake and gave praise to his new album.

Inspiring Women

This year's Panini "kid reporter" asked Brady who the most inspiring woman in his life is. It's a draw between his mom Galynn Brady and his wife Gisele Bündchen.

"They're amazing in their own way. My wife likes my mom too. My mom can do no wrong in my wife's eyes and my wife can do no wrong in my eyes," Brady said.

A close second were his sisters and his young daughter.

No Snapface, No Documentary

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was asked if he's had a chance to watch Brady's documentary, which is available on Facebook Watch. Belichick has not changed his anti-social media stance, replying, "No, I don't have Snapface."

Belichick's tendency to mix up the names of social media platforms, possibly intentionally, goes back years. Last year he was asked about Steelers receiver Antonio Brown posting a Facebook Live feed from inside the Steelers locker room.

“As you know, I’m not on SnapFace and all that, so I don’t really get those. I’m really just worried about getting our team ready to go," Belichick said on Dale and Holly at the time.

Fedora Bill

It's not often Belichick makes a fashion statement, so it can be forgiven if extra attention is given to him for strolling into Super Bowl week with a fedora. He explained on the NFL Network that the hat belonged to his dad and he felt good about wearing it, noting that Minnesota is a good place to wear a hat.
