Tom Brady Cuts WEEI/Boston Interview Short Over Questions About His Trainer

Awkward

TOM BRADY has had a history of awkward phoners on ENTERCOM Sports WEEI-F/BOSTON's "KIRK AND CALLAHAN" show, and he had another one TODAY (8/27) as co-host KIRK MINIHANE pressed the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS quarterback about whether his personal trainer had flown on the team plane to the third preseason game and BRADY responded by cutting the interview short.

BRADY's controversial personal trainer ALEX GUERRERO had been banned from flying on the team plane last year, but was reportedly on the plane to CHARLOTTE last week when the PATS played the CAROLINA PANTHERS.  MINIHANE asked BRADY what had changed to let GUERRERO back on the plane and BRADY said “Yeah, I am not getting into all that.”  After some follow-ups, to which BRADY repeated he didn't want to talk about the issue, MINIHANE pushed the issue, asking whether GUERRERO was on the sideline for FRIDAY's game and BRADY abruptly responded, "Yeah. All right, guys. Have a great day. I’ll talk to you later.”

In JANUARY, BRADY cut an interview short on the show after WEEI contributor ALEX REIMER criticized BRADY's daughter as an "annoying little pissant" after she appeared on BRADY's reality documentary series online.  REIMER was suspended and the station apologized to BRADY and his daughter.  The PATRIOTS have a contract to provide BRADY and other players and coaches for WEEI's "PATRIOTS MONDAY" and "PATRIOTS FRIDAY" segments; the team's play-by-play airs on crosstown rival BEASLEY Sports WBZ-F (98.5 THE SPORTS HUB).
