Julian Edelman will eventually make the Hall of Fame in 20 years

If I had to guess, I think [Edelman] will end up in it in 20 years because people will keep it alive and it will grow in stature. And no other receiver will do what he's done in the playoffs in the next 20 years.

Edelman is currently not in the Hall of Fame; this take won't be testable for another ~17 years from the date of the take.

Julian Edelman isn't actually retiring and will try to come back

I have a lot of faith in his work ethic, and I think he definitely is going to try to rehab it and come back. [Edelman] isn't actually retired.

Edelman never returned to the NFL following his April 2021 retirement announcement.

You can't tell the story of football without Julian Edelman and Eli Manning

The best argument that Julian Edelman has and Eli Manning is you can't tell the story of football without those guys. Because you can't tell the story of the Falcons Super Bowl without Julian Edelman. You can't tell the story of Tom Brady's career without Eli Manning.

This is a subjective standard for Hall of Fame induction.

Samus Reyes is a future Hall of Famer

My Washington football team just signed a collegiate basketball player to play tight end. He's never played football before. His name is Samus Reyes. This is a guy that immediately, in my mind, he's already a Hall of Famer. This guy is going to be the diamond in the rough that turns around the entire field.

Samus Reyes had a very brief career, appearing in only 11 games for Washington in 2021 with zero receptions, and was out of the league shortly after. Definitely not a Hall of Famer.

The Nuggets are 'cooked' for the season after Jamal Murray's injury

Jamal Murray tears ACL. So the Nuggets are cooked and that does suck because they actually were like one of those teams like, oh, maybe if they get a nice run going. So we're going to be Jazz fans now.

The Nuggets were swept in the second round by the Phoenix Suns following the Murray injury, failing to reach the conference finals they made the year before.

Ronald Acuña Jr. is officially the face of baseball

My cool throne is baseball because we do officially—I'm ready to call it—Ronald Acuña fully the face of baseball already. I just think Ronald Acuña, like, did you see what he did? He beat out the very routine infield hit... scores tagging up from third on a pop-up to the second baseman.

This is a subjective title, though Acuña did go on to win an MVP in 2023.

24-hour news networks should be tried for treason for dividing the country

I am a firm believer that there should no longer be 24-hour news networks because just the sheer panic of having to fill up all that time. I just find that CNN and Fox News, they should be tried for treason. All they do is divide the locker room.

This is a personal opinion on media regulation and national unity.

Julian Edelman belongs in the Hall of Fame for his big game performance

Whenever we needed a first down, whenever we needed a big play, somehow that guy got open. I would put that [Atlanta Super Bowl] catch arguably as one of the greatest Super Bowl catches of all time. I look at him like he was on the modern day Steelers of the 70s and he was our Swan or Stallworth and both of those guys are in. I put him in there.

Whether Edelman belongs is a matter of HOF voter opinion.

The OMAD (One Meal A Day) diet is going to 'kick everyone's ass'

I'm on a diet. You've got to get your stomach small, bro. Once you reach OMAD (One Meal A Day), it's a level of intermittent fasting... If I never eat again, I will be skinny. OMAD is going to kick everyone's ass.

The effectiveness of the diet for Big Cat specifically is subjective, but his prediction that it will be successful for him is testable.

It's better to take vacations while you are young and can actually do things

As I've gotten to my age, I realized that... I'd rather take vacations while I'm youthful and can do many things. As opposed to earlier when you never took vacations. You don't want to just be an ant marching, dude. You're just a rat in a cage.

Personal philosophy on life and work.
