Julian Edelman

Why do you hate Julian Edelman?

I don't actually hate him. It started at the beginning of my challenge which happened to coincide with the playoffs in my fantasy football league. Edelman was a key member of my lineup and after a great season, he suddenly got a concussion before my last game. It didn't appear that he got it during the game on the previous Sunday so it seems like it happened sometime between the game and practice on Wednesday. It was apparently bad enough to keep him from traveling with the Patriots to their next game against the Jets in New York.

I honestly couldn't find a sad picture of Julian Edelman so instead,
here's a sad Tom Brady photoshopped on to a waterslide.

Around the same time, I tweaked my shoulder while plugging in my laptop. I likened that to a professional athlete consistently performing really well but then slipping in the bathtub. Not that I'm by any means a professional athlete or would even consider myself athletic, but the sentiment of injuring yourself over something stupid is the same. Since I have no idea what caused Edelman's concussion, I'm assuming he slipped in his bathtub or walked into a wall. At this point, the whole situation has turned into a joke for me and from that point on, I've referred to my right shoulder as my "Edelman shoulder."

It's pretty much only funny for me but hey, it's my blog.

That being said . . . Julian Edelman, I may mock you almost daily in my blog but I will always draft you in my fantasy league because you=awesome.

Even if I am a die-hard Broncos fan.
