Imagine walking past a McDonald’s in the wee hours of the morning and seeing former New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman in a James Bond suit with Saquon Barkley and Odell Beckham Jr., who are both wearing Scottish kilts.
You’d probably rub your eyes more than a few times to make sure what you’re seeing is actually there.
According to Edelman, that moment really happened following a Met Gala event. Not only did it happen, but Edelman shared a funny moment between Barkley and Beckham on that night.
“Me and Saquon used to kick it a lot,” Edelman said on “Games with Names.” “We went to the Met Gala. When you go to those kinds of events, athletes always kind of congregate towards each other. So it was me, Saquon, Odell—and they wore skirts because it was camping or something.
“They wore like some Scottish [expletive]. I just went James Bond. I just went cool with it. We went out afterwards, I remember we went to McDonald’s, two in the morning. Saquon was still a young guy, and he’s like, ‘Man, we can’t eat this.’ And Odell looks at him or something, and he goes, ‘Dude, it’s May.'”

Barkley’s dedication to his body being strong enough to consider turning down the mighty temptation of a post-party McDonald’s meal is incredible self-control.
Fortunately, he has good friends like Beckham to remind him it was the offseason. It’s okay to eat the Big Mac in May.
