From the keeping-it-light department, New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman took to Twitter on Friday and complimented retiring defensive end Jared Allen on his fine career. Edelman also took note of Allen's past hairdo.
#respect for everything you did in this league. Btw the mullet you had was only second #chucknorris https://t.co/a7AWRc0unu

That, of course, sparked some playful banter on mullets. Jaromir Jagr, Patrick Swayze and Rod Stewart were part of the discussion.
Allen announced this week that he is stepping away from the game after 12 seasons with the Chiefs, Vikings, Bears and Panthers.
