Is Julian Edelman Jewish?

[APatrioticVirginian]

You think he's one of the chosen people?

Chuck Norris once punched Edelman in the face....and winced

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

Yes, that's exactly what it is. There aren't a ton of us playing football

Just wait, I think Yeshiva is about to go big time in college football.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

You think he's one of the chosen people?

Well, he was drafted by BB. . . .

 

[Clonamery]

Pardons to Rogers and Hammerstein:

Edelman, Edelman
Every game you please me
Small and white clean and fast
You look happy to catch a pass
Blossom of BB may you hitch and go
Hitch and go forever
Edelman, Edelman
Bless my hometeam forever.

I have one of those! For real.

I'm thinking my Hanukah shopping just got a lot easier. Flying Elvis kippot all around! Especially for the Jets and Giants fans.

Anyway...Edelman's potential looks tremendous. Just months removed from quarterbacking, he's running with the ones, catching everything thrown his way, and generally looking like Wes Welker after a crash diet. And the kicker is that he's a much more gifted pure athlete than Welker. Plus clearly, BB & co. love him. They've been throwing every rep they can at him at both receiver and PR to get him up to speed fast.

It's been a while since there was a late-round rookie to really fall in love with. Ahhh.

p.s. could Lewis have been any more invisible?

Well, maybe suited up. Taking the helmet off sort of ruins the image:

Edelman gets off to fast start - The Boston Globe

And, you know, there's a difference between the way Welker talks and the way Edelman talks. . . . but I just can't put my finger on it.

I think he is but he's hiding it from the rest of the team. He knows that the Patriots are an exclusive team full of blue bloods and he want to use his football skills to get a scholarship to Harvard.

 

[Ring 6]

I saw Wes Welker Jr. last night.

 

[Funktopus]

Whoever wrote the AP game summary actually thought it was Welker on Brady's first pass.

SI.com - NFL - Recap


"Brady handed off on his first play before tossing a 6-yard pass to Wes Welker out of a shotgun formation. On third-and-4, Brady's pass for Joey Galloway was broken up."

Is this thread serious?

I have a "Jewish" surname and great-grandparents that were. But the practice ended with them and I am a born and raised Catholic.

You would think this was Idaho or something with the beliefs that it's all in a name.

Yeah, in the 7th round.

 

[shmessy]

Just wait, I think Yeshiva is about to go big time in college football.

Yeshiva U. could produce some great pass rushing DE's!!!

 

[ScottieC]

Because if he is I'm buying his jersey tomorrow!

Before the game I was on the phone with my dad, who is totally crushing on Greg Lewis. I say "well Reiss said the kid Edelman is ahead of him on the depth chart", he goes "who?"....hours later my dad had a new crush and says "he's gotta be Jewish"

So, anyone know? Patjew??

Not sure - But he's damn sure a good little football player, But if he's Polish I'm going to buy his Jersey! I only buy Polish Players jerseys......

 

[ScottieC]

I saw Wes Welker Jr. last night.

Yea, for sure - He had the first tackle on Special Teams as well. Dude was everywhere.

Maybe we can get Lisa Olson to find out.

Wait for it.....wait for it........

 

[shmessy]

Wait for it.....wait for it........

We know how to get that quarter back.


Hope I haven't offended anyone, good shabbas all!

 

[RayClay]

Yeah, in the 7th round.

I guess that means Guyton and Woods aren't Jewish...

 

[SHOWTIME15]

i don't think his background should have any bearing on whether you buy his jersey. regardless of his religious affiliation, he played great and that's all we as fans can ask.
