This is embarrassing for the league. This is not the nba. Players show no loyalty anymore. It’s a testament to this generation.

The fans who fell for the Julian Edelman post clearly didn’t see the “April fools” in small print in the bottom right hand corner of the post.

After suffering several different serious injuries during his career, Edelman appears to be very content stepping away as one of the best postseason receivers ever to play the game.

You’d have to think Tom Brady has done some lobbying to get him back, though.
