The Navigator
Judgement in the fog, money, risk and the call others cannot make.
Julian Edelman is The Navigator because his career is a study in orientation under duress. He converted from quarterback to receiver, endured special teams obscurity, came back from ACL surgery, and then reinvented himself again as a broadcaster.
“I just want to say that. Yeah, we were, and it was analysis, but I think Ranet, it was not reporting because apparently people need to be told the difference. But I think we were pretty spot on. But I mean, just to get back to it, like I said, Phil Sims was already super critical of Brady, Chris Sims grew up in that household.”
“Yeah, who's tuning in to see Chris Sims? It's not like there's some quarterback You look at what happened to Phil Sims. If Phil Sims can get knocked down after what, 10, 12 years in the booth for a guy who's never called a game before and get pushed back to the studio, yeah, they can say goodbye to Chris Sims like that if people are too u…”
“And wouldn't you know it? The one other team had the second best coach left in the tournament, McVeigh behind Belichick. So you can't use that as a cop-out. Yes, football is the ultimate team game. Yes, if Brady was playing with a bunch of 12-year-olds, he wouldn't have this kind of success.”
“Right, so it's not like he's not working with Julie Nettleman, and I get this, but Mark Wahlberg, he's produced but never a documentary. He's never really approached anything like this. I think Mark Wahlberg, you talk about being the spokesperson for Patriots Nation.”
