Julian Edelman Told A Hilarious Story About The Career Advice He Received From Bill Belichick
Bill Belichick had some interesting advice for Julian Edelman after he announced his retirement from football, and signed on as an analyst on ” Inside The NFL”. Edelman recently spoke about this hilarious encounter with coach Belichick.
“So I retired this offseason, and I haven’t seen Belichick,” Edelman said. “I end up going to some little shindig, and he was there. It’s been publicized that I was doing ‘Inside the NFL’ for, like, five months. So he looks at me and he goes, ‘So, what are you up to now?’ I’m like, ‘I’m doing ‘Inside the NFL,’ ‘ And he looks at me and goes, ‘Oh, you’re doing media?’ And I go, ‘Yeah, you know, it’s going to be kind of fun.’
“I didn’t know what I could say to him. He’s scary. He’s intimidating. And so he goes, “Look, you can’t be a homer. If you have to motherfuck us, you can motherfuck us.” It felt like a mafia meeting. But it was cool. He was telling me to do my job. But it was fresh out of a movie, like I was in ‘A Bronx Tale’ at an Italian restaurant and I see the old mob boss.”
