Even on IR, Julian Edelman is Still Bringing His A+ Trolling Game
I confess I’m not exactly sure what Hanukah is all about. Or even if that’s the preferred spelling. I’m pretty sure it has to do with some candles that didn’t go out and Dreidels and the schools being careful about what music they pick for the “Winter” concert. In fairness to me, the most ethnic kid in my elementary school was my buddy Rog, the only non-Catholic kid I knew. And he was a Protestant. I didn’t even know what that meant. Just that he didn’t have to go to CCD or eat fish on Fridays. But I’m all about diversity now, obviously.
All I can say is if this is what Hanukah is about, sign me up. Promoting your book while rubbing an entire NFL market’s nose in the dogshit 10 months after the fact sounds like the perfect holiday for this kid. When we celebrate our Savior’s birth we’re supposed to do none of that stuff. It’s all supposed to be about Peace on Earth and salvation and goodwill toward men. Well I prefer my tidings of great joy the Edelman way. By finding any excuse to remind the Falcons they blew a 25-point lead thanks to Minitron making a catch that made Julio Jones’ catch (and David Tyree’s and Mario Manningham’s and Jermaine Kearse’s) look like dogs catching Frisbees.
So yes, give me some of that kind of religious holiday. Honoring you God while unnecessarily giving shit to people just because you can. That is win/win. Not that I’ll fully convert. But just for Hanukah season I can be what Edelman says he is: Jewish. Mazel tov.
