WEEI host Christian Fauria has been suspended for five days after the station says he mocked Brady agent Don Yee on air Friday.

The radio station posted about the incident on Twitter Friday night, saying Fauria impersonated Yee in a "insensitive and ill-conceived attempt at humor." It went on to say "We do not support or condone Christian's comments," and said he will be suspended for five days.

Fauria made the impersonation while discussing a Boston Herald article that has been removed online.

The article, written by sports reporter Ron Borges, was about Tom Brady's alleged salary demands. Friday morning, WEEI reported that Borges was duped via text message by someone pretending to be Brady's agent.

Friday afternoon, the Herald said Bores' column has been suspended while they review what happened.

After WEEI announced Fauria was suspended, he also went on Twitter to apologize for his actions.
