Alex Riemer disparaged Tom Brady’s daughter back on January 25. An apology was posted to the WEEI website on Friday, February 23, with an accompanying 2:30 audio clip.
WEEI quickly apologized to Brady for Reimer’s comments, partly because they were ridiculous, partly hoping that would keep Brady from quitting his weekly interview on the Kirk and Callahan show. Reimer was immediately suspended indefinitely by Entercom after Brady called the station out on it during one of those interviews.
Riemer is trying to save his job with the station now, a job he admits is his dream job. Brady has said he doesn’t want Riener to get fired. Here’s part of what Riemer posted on Friday…
“My remark about Tom Brady’s daughter was ridiculous and reprehensible. I am deserving of all the criticism that has come my way over the last four weeks. I would like to take this opportunity to publicly apologize to the Brady family. I am truly sorry. I wrote Tom a note of apology and am grateful for his compassion. It is safe to say my father would not have acted as magnanimously if somebody talked about one of his kids in that fashion. No child should ever be mocked. It sickens me that I used my platform in such an odious manner. Working at WEEI has been a dream of mine ever since I started podcasting in my parents’ basement at 12 years old. This is not how I want to be remembered. I know I have a lot of work to do.”
