NFL looking at Tom Brady’s cleats-up slide

   Amid news that the NFL is looking into Patriots quarterback Tom Brady’s cleats-up slide into Ravens’ safety Ed Reed during the first half of Sunday night’s AFC Championship game, Reed told a Baltimore radio station that Brady has apologized.

   The league always reviews games to see if there are infractions that warrant fines, and Brady’s sliding kick is one of them. Hits doled out by players on both sides also will be looked at.

Comments

I think Tom Brady is one of the best quartbacks of all time but truth be told he is a whiner and that slide was cheap.
