Julian Edelman bets big against Tom Brady 

The former Patriots star played with the future HOF-er for several seasons. While talking in the show, he laughingly discussed the new signing. “I don’t wanna talk about this. They just signed Cole Beasley. I didn’t get a call. I bet against Brady and then he signs Cole Beasley,” Edelman remarked
