Tom Brady is not looking to have the radio host who called the quarterback’s daughter “an annoying little pissant” fired.

The Patriots star had said earlier on Monday he’s reconsidering whether to continue a long-running weekly radio appearance with the WEEI station. Hours later at the Super Bowl media night, he was asked about the incident in which host Alex Reimer made the remarks about Brady’s five-year-old daughter after watching the first episode of a Brady documentary called Tom vs. Time. Reimer made the comments on Thursday, four days before Brady’s weekly morning radio segment with different hosts.

“I didn’t hear too much about it. I didn’t get into it much,” Brady said in Minneapolis, where he is preparing for this Sunday’s Super Bowl. “I certainly hope the guy is not fired.

“I just know everybody is real protective of their kids. I never stayed away from criticism. I understand that criticism is part of sports. But I certainly don’t think that my children or anybody else’s children deserve to be in that. And that’s what I said.”

Brady cut short an appearance on WEEI onMonday morning and said, “I’ll obviously evaluate whether I want to come on this show again. It’s very disappointing when you hear that certainly with my daughter or any child. They certainly don’t deserve that.”

The station says Reimer, who is in his mid-20s, has been suspended indefinitely. “Look, I think we all go through our life and sometimes we say things we shouldn’t say or make mistakes, and that happens,” said Brady. “I can express it and you move on.”

The Patriots and WEEI recently announced an extension of their agreement, which involves weekly calls from Brady and New England coach Bill Belichick. The five-time Super Bowl champions will play for their sixth ring against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

Brady expressed no regrets about doing the Tom vs. Time documentary series, which features appearances from his family. “I thought it was fun. I thought it was a great opportunity,” he said. “The fans like it. And that’s really what we were looking for.”

Patriots safety Devin McCourty praised Brady defending his daughter.

“It’s always easy to defend our families,” McCourty noted. “I thought that was very disappointing to see anyone say anything negative toward his daughter, or anything about your family. Really poor taste. But I think as always Tom handled it in the right way with something like that. But I think with all of us that’s one thing that we’re gonna tolerate is anything toward our family.”
