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.

Julian Edelman will eventually make the Hall of Fame in 20 years because the 'Patriots Dynasty' narrative will keep it alive

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... whenever 150 [anniversary] comes and they start opening the door to everyone and they clean up the Hall of Fame. That feels like a Julian Edelman [year].

Edelman is not in the Hall of Fame yet. It will take at least 20 years to see if this specific prediction of him being 'grandfathered' in comes true.

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.

The Hall of Fame has a bias against the slot receiver position

Does the Hall of Fame have a bias towards a position like slot receiver? Because it's similar to a nose tackle who doesn't get the sacks. A slot receiver might not have all the receiving yards or all the touchdowns, but he's impacting the game in another way.

This is a subjective debate about voting trends in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Drake Maye is not the Patriots' problem

Is Drake Maye a fraud? Our problem is our offensive line. We can't run the ball either. We can't throw, we can't fucking run. And then what happens? We have three-and-outs and our defense has to keep coming out.

Whether Maye is a fraud and how much blame belongs to the offensive line are evaluative judgments.

Baseball's expanded playoffs are a money grab

The divisional round of the playoffs, you're seeing these guys shaking up champagne. It's like, dude, this is a money grab by MLB. It's a second- and third-place team. They were seven, eight games out of first and they made the playoffs.

The claim that the format is a money grab is an interpretation of league incentives, while the references to lower-place teams are factual context.

The NBA should turn on the three-point line only late in quarters

I would get rid of the defensive three-second rule. I'd get rid of the three-point line until the final two minutes of each quarter. Then it lights up, then you can take your threes. And we get back to pick-and-rolls, give-and-goes and backdoor passes and actually dunking on somebody.

This is a proposed rule preference and cannot be objectively judged as correct or incorrect.
