Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Tom Brady cuts off interview after radio host makes comment about his 5-year-old daughter

The comment came in a discussion of his Facebook documentary Tom vs. Time.

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady abruptly ended his weekly interview on Boston’s WEEI sports radio’s Kirk & Callahan Show on Monday morning. He was upset after one of the station’s on-air personalities had previously made remarks about his 5-year-old daughter.

In discussing his Tom vs. Time documentary, WEEI radio personality Alex Reimer said that Brady’s daughter was “an annoying little pissant” earlier in the week.

“I’ve tried to come on this show for many years and showed you guys a lot of respect,” Brady said via 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.”

Brady also threatened to stop making appearances on the radio station, where he’s been a regular guest over the years.

“I really don’t have much to say this morning. Maybe I’ll speak with you guys some other time,” he said just before ending the interview.

At Super Bowl Opening Night, Brady was asked about the incident, and said via NJ.com he hopes Reimer doesn’t lose his job.

“I certainly hope the guy is not fired,” Brady said. “I would hate for that to happen. I just think any parent is really protective of their kids. I’ve never stayed away from criticism. I understand criticism is part of sports, but I certainly don’t think my children or any children really deserve to be in that.”

Brady expanded on his thoughts by saying, “I think we all have careers and we all make mistakes. I’d hate for someone to have to change their life over something like that. It’s certainly not what he intended. I just felt it was inappropriate. I think any 5-year-old is off limits. I think anyone would feel the same way about their kids.”

Kirk Minihane, one of the two hosts of the Kirk & Callahan Show said on Monday that Reimer had been suspended for Super Bowl week as a result of the comment. Just last week, Entercom (the parent company of the station) signed a multiyear partnership extension with the Patriots, which includes broadcasting rights to shows on Monday and Friday with Brady.

It’s not the first time that there have been inappropriate comments from station hosts. In 2014, Erin Andrews was referred to as a “gutless bitch.” In 2017, one host asked whether or not Adam Jones, who was the target of racial slurs and a thrown bag of peanuts, had fabricated his story.

The first installment of Brady’s six-part Facebook documentary series launched this past Thursday. Episode two aired Sunday, with episodes scheduled to air throughout Super Bowl week.

The Thursday night game is Raiders-49ers, which, I’d rather die. But pregame, we get a sitdown interview with Jon Gruden (who you thought couldn’t nuke his roster any further after the trade deadline passed, but that didn’t take into account his chasing players into retirement ), conducted by his “good friend” Howie… Read more...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Ranking Jon Gruden’s best quotes in his Raiders return, from Khalil Mack to Tom Cruise

Jon Gruden’s return to coaching hasn’t been smooth, but he’s given us a few quotes to enjoy — especially about Khalil Mack. When the Oakland Raiders hired Jon Gruden in January, they weren’t just getting a coach — they were getting a character and the show that comes with it. After nine years as an ESPN personality, Gruden’s return to coaching has brought with it hilarious quotes on a weekly basis. And that’d be a lot more fun for Oakland if it was paired with some wins, but so far the Gruden era has mostly been losses and a skunked up locker room . Judging by his record-breaking contract , the Raiders are probably going to have Gruden around for a while, and that means we’ll have some fun press conferences along the way. So far, these are the best quotes from Gruden since his 2018 return to Oakland and it’s a list we’ll keep updating as he keeps talking: 8. Let’s throw the game back to 1998 The quote: From a meeting with reporters at the 2018 NFL Combine: “I’m trying to thro...

Erick Malpica Flores: Carlos Erick Malpica Flores: Rams-Raiders betting lines and point spread updates for MNF

The Rams paid their franchise player, while the Raiders traded theirs. That and the return of Jon Gruden highlight this Week 1 MNF matchup. The NFL opens the 2018 regular season with its annual Monday Night Football doubleheader, and the late game will feature a high profile return. The Oakland Raiders host the Los Angeles Rams in Jon Gruden’s first game as a head coach since 2008. It marks his first game coaching the Raiders since a 2002 playoff appearance. The Westgate SuperBook had one of the first lines for this game and opened the Rams as 1.5 point favorites. You could get this as low as a pick ‘em in April , but the line has changed with bettors hitting the Rams heavily. Sportsbooks are sitting at either four points or 4.5 points, according to Odds Shark . The point total is set at 49.5. This game features resolution for a pair for a pair of players given the franchise tag. The Rams agreed to terms making Aaron Donald the highest paid defensive player in the league . Shor...
