Brady apologizes for criticizing Buffalo hotels
INDIANAPOLIS - Tom Brady is sorry for denigrating hotels in Buffalo.
The New England Patriots quarterback apologized on Thursday for an off-the-cuff comment about Buffalo hotels. A day earlier, he said that hotels there are "not the nicest places in the world."
In response, one of the top hotels in Buffalo offered a free night's stay to show him he's wrong. Brady appreciated the offer and said he was sorry for his comment. He suggested he should have picked a "non-NFL city" in his comment about places to stay that he didn't particularly enjoy.
Brady isn't the first athlete to joke about Buffalo.
Toronto Maple Leafs winger Joffrey Lupul tweeted the night before a December game against the Sabres: "Is there any windowless rooms?" The tweet was accompanied by a picture of the city's skyline and a parking lot across the street from the team's hotel.
The Patriots play the New York Giants in the Super Bowl on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium. The Giants ended the Patriots' bid for a perfect season in the NFL title game four years ago.
