Julian Edelman is joining “Fox NFL Kickoff” for the upcoming season. Edelman, who won three Super Bowl titles in 12 seasons with the New England Patriots, is replacing Sean Payton on the show, which airs at 11 a.m. EDT on Sundays during the season. Payton did television for one year before...

I think Julien is destined to be one of those guys on the sports shows for a long time.

As long as they don't blunt his knuckleheadedness, I agree. Dude is funny.

I think that's why he's going to be on TV talking football for a long time.

Fox ain't blunting anyone's knuckleheadedness. That's the Fox brand.

I think Jules is entertaining and good on these shows.

When I've seen Gronk, it's painful. He does not have the right kind of charisma for this. He should be doing the Tony Siragusa bits down in the stands with fans.

I'm not sure how Tom will do. I think he can be intelligent and informative, but I'm not sure he's got the personality for TV.

Tom would be a good fit for an old-school Jaworski type breakdown show. The guy sees everything and can explain it. The sport needs a mainstream X's and O's show.

Edelman is very entertaining. He will be a solid addition to the show. Gronk is a moron, and embarrassing on air. Brady is as dry as dust when he’s not on the field and talking ****.

Edelman > Brady & Gronk when it comes to being on TV, IMO.

I agree.. he's a natural in front of the camera.. I'm surprised it took him this long.

Agreed.. that's where Brady would be best used. Otherwise he's just going to be very PC. That man has a pretty serious facade.

Love the guy, my all-time favorite Patriot. But I think something like this could go either way. He's not particularly quick-witted or articulate but has a great sense of humor, knows the game and is very likable. Not a complete knucklehead like Gronk. I hope it works out for him.

 

[Patsfan1958]

I think Edelman is going to be OK. He's a pretty funny dude. Brady seems more serious but should be alright. It's just not a good fit for Gronk.

Agree. Gronk is horrible. He's awkward in his delivery and his vocabulary is limited.

Jules is pretty fluid. He'll do very well.

I have reservations about Tom. Part of me thinks he'll be very dry and canned with what he says.

It seems like TV might have the same problem with Tom as it did with Peyton Manning. As much as I hated him when we'd play against him, Manning is a smart guy with a nice dry sense of humor, but it doesn't work well on normal broadcasts or the desk shows. So he's done Peyton's Places and some of the other shows where he can show his intellect, but they don't really get watched enough to justify having Peyton Manning. So now he's mainly known for the twincast.

Fine I'll give Jules a shot but if I don't like it you gotta pay up with one of those onlyfans chicks pics you subscribed too

I like Edelman in the media. I am not sure if Belichick or his former teammates are excited about this. Edelman doesn't seem to have a filter when it comes to telling war stories. Great for the audience. Not so great for the subjects of his stories. When he goes on the Kelce's podcast, he doesn't hold back on some of the stories especially about Belichick. Nothing damaging. But definitely stuff you know some of these guys, especially Belichick, probably doesn't want out there.

Ha! I can totally see that. But as he moves up on these desk shows, it seems like he'll be doing fewer stories and more talking about the current players and upcoming games. He's definitely got that WR personality that should be a good fit.
