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.

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.

The 2026 World Cup final was boring and sucked.

It was boring ass soccer. It sucked. It made me thankful that the World Cup's over, that football's back. Now we can get back into real football, which I'm very, very thankful for. But that was actually, I think that was the best way to end the World Cup, because I'm totally fine with no more soccer now.

Fanatics Fest is a cynical place designed only to take money from fans.

It also seems like the most cynical place ever. Like, you can go to an autograph festival or a fan festival and you know that the guys are being paid to be there. And they're still like, happy to see, interact with you, all that shit. It just seems like every single thing about being at that place is just designed to take money from the people that are there.

Bryson DeChambeau is being targeted by selective rule enforcement.

I think that Bryson definitely did it and it's definitely against the rules. And he got caught for it and they enforced it against him because he's a bad boy. He's had some run-ins before. I don't think the R&A or whatever, I don't think they're particularly happy with Bryson right now.
