I am referring to his handling of a local sports talk radio host calling his 5 year old child a 'pissant'. In his weekly call in bit with that radio station, he cut it short, diplomatically letting them know why.
IMO, he handled this with class and restraint. And kids should always be off limits. I thought this when the board was all over Riley Crean. I felt this way about the Bush girls, the Obama girls, and now the youngest Trump child.

I think it's all a PR stunt. A lot of non-New England "johnny six-packs" out there don't like Tom Brady; he's got the reputation of being a prima donna. This PR stunt garners him some sympathy among the casual football fans.

Right ... cause six days before the Super Bowl, he's definitely concerned with appealing to non-New England "johnny six-packs" who don't like him. That's the market for the Aston Martins and UGG's he endorses, along with his weird pseudoscience health system.

I'm generally not one to defend Brady, but I don't see it. If he wanted the support of johnny six-pack, he'd get a LOT more mileage by saying he loosened up his diet and now has a steak or a burger once in a while.
He did say that he didn't want anyone fired, but what the radio host did was really stupid-give the guy a pee test and sincerely apologize and maybe rethink the firing, if they do but hard to keep damaged goods. What the hack could a 5 year old have done to this dude.

He handled it perfectly. For as much of a brand-toting, pseudoscience pusher, cyborg-esque personality that he is (wait am I talking about Brady or Russell Wilson), he's still a human and a father.

See what I mean? The PR stunt is going exactly as planned, perfectly embodied in GB Warrior Six-Pack's quote.
Brady's publicist is working overtime!
He's not a super-model-dating prima donna. He's not some cheating pretty boy. Rather, he's a downhome country boy. Aw shucks, maw.

He's a family man:

Make no mistake. He's 40 years old. He's positioning for his post-football career. I'm not knocking him for it; I'm simply pointing out the obvious. Johnny Six-Pack needs to be able to stand this guy when he is calling games/post-games.
