Edelman is messing with the brand, the NFL’s shield and should expect a nice pre-Super Bowl fine. While addressing the media, the Patriots wide receiver had on a cool Urban Outfitters Tupac with two middle fingers up.

Public relations no-no. Edelman was either forced to remove the shirt, or simply was reminded, but he covered it up.
We inadvertently showed an offensive image on a t-shirt during one of our reports tonight. We apologize to our viewers. #NBCNightlyNews

Edelman realizing what shirt he had on: "Oh my — I've got this shirt on right now? Jeez bro, you guys didn't even let me know about that."

Hopefully Edelman doesn’t get the Wes Welker treatment, and receive a benching.
