NFL won't punish Tom Brady for criticizing ejection

Tom Brady will not be punished by the NFL after criticizing officials on Sunday during Fox's broadcast of a game between the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions. Brady, a Fox Sports analyst, made the controversial comments when Detroit safety Brian Branch was ejected for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Green Bay wide receiver Bo Melton in the second quarter. "I don't love that (ejection) call at all," Brady said. "Obviously it's a penalty, but to me, there has to be serious intent in a game like this." Brady, as part owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, is not allowed to make certain comments during broadcasts, with criticism of officials being among the things that he can't dive into.
