Turns out, Harrison was joking, and in the wake of his tongue-in-cheek rant on Brady he can’t believe it was taken so seriously.
Harrison apparently sent Brady a text message beforehand to let him know he was going to take a swipe at him during the broadcast.
“Let me tell you something: no one has more respect for Tom Brady than me,” Harrison told the Boston Herald. “I’ve seen this guy. One thing I would never do with this guy is challenge his manhood. Tom is one of the toughest son of a guns I’ve ever been around. He’s like a brother to me, and we bust each other’s chops.
“If people think I was serious, it’s ridiculous.”
