Tom Brady may or may not get fined for kicking his leg up at Ed Reed while going down to slide after a scramble Sunday in the AFC Championship game.
But at the very least, the veteran safety Reed, whose Baltimore Ravens beat Brady's New England Patriots for a spot in the Super Bowl, says it's "all good." (photo: Keith Allison, Flickr)
"Leg is feeling alright. A little sore right now," Reed told WJZ-FM on Monday, via NFL.com. "A little slide kick (by Brady), you know what I'm saying. But it's a tough spot the quarterback's in. You know, I understand Brady's point. Him protecting himself... I respect Brady and his game for all it stands for, and I know he's not a dirty player."
"... We talked actually not too long ago, we talked on the phone. He actually reached out to me, texted me. I tried to text him back, but the message exploded after 12 seconds, so I had to call him ... and he's just apologized and what not. But I told him, 'You know, it's good, man.'"
Brady's slide-kick is being reviewed by the NFL.
Reed said he didn't respond to Brady "for the most part" when Brady was jawing at him during the game but added that he understood Brady was in of heat battle.
"Brady's a great competitor and I love going against him and I know where his heart is at for this game,"Reed said. "It was all good."

Maybe he was protecting himself from the dirty players on the team who want to hurt him and others. He is a gentleman after all, and where is the jackass Pollard's apology to hurting Brady, Welker, Gronkowski and most recently, Ridley. He is a sick bully who needs to be released from football. He needs to be fined along with their coach, Harbaugh. It is disgusting.
ReplyDeleteWhat did he do wrong. Hit Ridley hard?? It's football queerbag
DeleteHe has never been a gentleman!!!!
DeleteCant agree with you more - add the murderer in there all they is a bunch of hoodlum, gang members, immoral, hateful inidividuals I don't like either of the Harbaughs but I hope 49 crush them

ReplyDeleteWho is a bigger bully than Belichick ? Forget the record he'll cheat to win. Let the NFL sort it out. Brady is a class act who reacted and maybe Reed lucked out with a sore leg.
ReplyDeleteALL of Pollard's shots were deemed legal, by NFL rule. Pats fans are biggest cry babies in NFL
ReplyDeleteI agree He did hit Ridley hard. The 12:23PM post does not know the rules.
ReplyDelete...."Once an offensive player becomes a runner beyond the line of scrimmage, the helmet to helmet rule only applies if that player is deemed defenseless.
On the Ridley play, he was in control and lowered his head in an attempt to get underneath Pollard.
too all pats haters hate the jets or raiders or Miami or ravins leave us out of your hate-minds
