You have to imagine that playing in a Super Bowl is one of the most high-pressure situations an athlete could ever find themself in. So, the last thing they’d need is some added pressure from His Airness himself like Julian Edelman did before Super Bowl XLIX.
The former Patriots wideout hosts a podcast called Games With Names. On a recent episode, he hosted comedian Bert Kreischer. During the interview, Edelman talked about meeting not only Jordan but also Derek Jeter ahead of the game in Glendale back in 2015.

Mike McDaniel’s accountability is what we all want from our leaders.
With the Miami Dolphins set to take on the Dallas Cowboys in a colossal Week 16 NFL matchup, Miami is looking to put the finishing touches on a division crown and potential one seed in head coach Mike McDaniel’s second season as head coach. A major accomplishment for a coach in his second year, but through Hard Knocks, NFL fans were treated to a great look at why McDaniel is so beloved by his players.
There’s been a lot of debate on who should win the NFL’s coveted MVP award for the 2023 season and on his latest Let’s Go! podcast, Tom Brady weighed in. Surprisingly, the former signal-caller didn’t name a quarterback and picked 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, his podcast guest this week, as the league’s most valuable player.
“I remember the first time I actually got a glimpse of Christian was in the Rose Bowl,” Brady said. “He caught an angle pass against Iowa and ran for about a 75-yard touchdown. I was like, ‘Well, they’re not gonna catch him.
After 16 years worth of hits and 9 miles worth of carries, the third-all-time leading rusher has one question for his NFL-bound son and every other back in the league: How bad do you want it?
Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Patriots coach Bill Belichick shared a special moment on the field following Kansas City’s 27–17 win over New England in Week 15.
Postgame handshakes aren’t often notable unless a conversation appears to be more than simply exchanging pleasantries. That applied to Kelce and Belichick, who spoke to one another for longer than a “congratulations” or “good game” would take. That naturally sparked curiosity regarding what the two said to each other.
Baylor vs. Duke, 7:00 ET
2-0 last night in the college ranks (2-0 in NBA and a +348 parlay given out as well), leads to more college basketball tonight. Look, I love hockey, but I’m here to give you guys winners, and until I can figure out what I’m doing wrong on the ice, I’m going to stick with what I know: basketball. Last night in our ranked matchup, the Memphis Tigers made light work of the Virginia Cavaliers. Tonight, I think we see something similar in a ranked matchup between the Baylor Bears and the Duke Blue Devils.
The shot of the college basketball season, thus far, belongs to Chattanooga guard Trey Bonham after he drilled a half-court buzzer beater for the Mocs to knock off Gardner-Webb on Tuesday night.
Chatt was tied 66-66 with the Runnin’ Bulldogs with 1.3 seconds remaining. Bonham was able to catch the inbound pass in stride and fired off the Hail Mary shot attempt just before crossing the halfway line.
The shot looked great in mid-air before hitting squarely on the backboard and falling to give Chattanooga a 69-66 victory.
Watch. Watch again. Then watch it again. And then maybe again.
1. “It’s not a banner. It’s a decoration.”
That was a frustrated Shaquille O’Neal on TNT on Tuesday night reacting to the Lakers‘ hanging a banner for winning the meaningless in-season tournament.
O’Neal, who won three real championships with the Lakers, was adamant that whatever the Lakers hung Monday night was not a banner.
While the segment with cohosts Ernie Johnson and Kenny Smith was light and playful, Shaq made his feelings about the Lakers’ celebrating the in-season tournament win more than clear.
“This is just an ornament,” O’Neal said.
BATON ROUGE, La. – While every other major college football coach in the country made final preparations and plans the day before one of the biggest days of the year (national signing day Wednesday), LSU coach Brian Kelly found himself in a federal courtroom on Tuesday.
“I’d rather be coaching football, but I understand the importance of this,” Kelly said to an attorney representing fired associate athletic director for recruiting Sharon Lewis.
Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. I can’t be the only one who felt old watching the sons of Josh McCown and Chad Pennington go head-to-head in a bowl game last night.
