NEWS'He's a Little Too Old for Texting': Julian Edelman Roasts Tom Brady for Leaving Him on 'Read'
Julian Edelman shared that Tom Brady leaves him on 'read.'
Julian Edelman and Tom Brady have remained close friends since their football days on the New England Patriots, but it's safe to say they’re not text buddies.
Edelman, 38, humorously expressed his frustration at Brady’s struggles with modern-day communication.
“I think he’s a little too old for texting,” Edelman told Us Weekly. “You know when you teach your grandparents how to text and stuff? Maybe that’s what it is. He reads it and he doesn’t know how to text back. I mean, the guy is 50. We’re pushing 50.”
Tom Brady doesn't reply to his texts, his pal Julian Edelman said.
Edelman remarked that despite being 47, Brady frequently doesn't reply to his texts, but "I know that he seems him," he said.
Despite the teasing, the athlete shared his appreciation for his friend and their former Patriots teammate Rob Gronkowski, who joined him in his latest advertising campaign, as well as for the new phase of life they are all experiencing together.
Julian Edelman revealed he 'was a punching bag for' Tom Brady.
“It is very special,” the sports icon said. “Now that they’re both retired, it feels very similar to when we were back playing, you know? I see Tom and how he’s preparing for his work now. It makes me want to be better at my work. I see how Rob prepares when we’re doing our podcast. It makes me want to do my job better.”
