Tom Brady cut off his weekly interview with WEEI's "Kirk and Callahan" following a disparaging comment from a host last week about his five-year-old daughter.
While commenting on the first episode of the "Tom vs. Time" documentary about Brady on Thursday, WEEI radio host Alex Reimer called Brady's daughter, seen in one of the early scenes "an annoying little pissant."
On Monday, when Brady called into "Kirk and Callahan," he criticized the radio station following Reimer's remarks.
"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 [the comments about my daughter], certainly. My daughter, or any child, certainly don't deserve that."
Brady left it unclear when he would call back again.
"I really don't have much to say this morning," Brady said. "Maybe I'll speak with you guys some other time."
According to ESPN, Kirk Minihane, one of the hosts, said Reimer was suspended for the entire Super Bowl week following the comments.
