Braylon, Meet T.J.

Braylon Edwards takes a belated shot at Cleveland

Posted by Mike Florio on August 9, 2010 5:01 PM ET
Though it's not quite on the same level as Brett Favre's return to Green Bay, Jets receiver Braylon Edwards will face the Browns on November 14, in Cleveland. Edwards, who has had several seasons of mediocrity and dropped passes sandwiched around a fairly stellar showing for the Browns in 2007, has done his part to throw a little jet fuel on the embers of his time in Northeast Ohio.

"There's nothing going on in Cleveland," Edwards recently told Greg Bishop of the New York Times. "There's no real estate. There's no social life, no social networking. All the people who have something going on leave Cleveland. So Cleveland has nothing, and I came in there with a New York-type of essence. So what? That was the attitude I came in with. Like, this is who I am. They didn't like the flash."

(As a side note, just what is a "New York-type of essence"? Is he referring to those brief moments on Seventh Avenue when you think you've caught a whiff of crap and/or vomit and then just as your brain has acknowledged the existence of the odor it's gone, as if it were never there? Someone should pitch that one to Calvin Klein.)

Edwards' mother also chimed in on her son's struggles in Ohio. "He came from a team that was always looking for a savior to a team that knows how to win," she said, apparently under the impression that he'd been traded not to the Jets, but to the Giants.

"No one would understand what he's been through unless you've been drowning," she added.

Really? Drowning? Earning millions of dollars to play a kid's game is drowning?

If Edwards was drowning in Cleveland, it's only because he jumping into quicksand and asked for someone to throw him an anchor. Edwards' primary problem in Cleveland were his hands (or, more specifically, his inability to use them properly) and his mouth (or, more accurately, his inability to shut it).

So we'll check back with Braylon in a year, when he'll likely be a member of yet another new team, and he'll be blaming his failures in New York on those brief moments on Seventh Avenue when you think you've caught a whiff of crap and/or vomit and then just as your brain has acknowledged the existence of the odor it's gone.

I hope when his contract with the Jets is up the only team that will sign him is the Bills.

Why dude? Why do you have to be the flaming asshole that you are? WTF do you have to gain by slamming the good people of Cleveland? You are knocking on the wrong side of karma's door, and I hope our DB's split your fucking head wide open.

Driving 120mph, talking modeling contracts at the line of scrimmage and dropping passes habitually is a fault of the struggling Cleveland Economy... Got it.

Not to mention he had a complex because he played for Michigan and thought everyone hated him because our majority are Buckeye fans.

Get real Braylon, and good luck with the Jets... who are supposedly, according to your ignorant shit mom, a team that "knows how to win" .. Haha give me a fucking break. Since when are the Jets perrenial playoff contenders and super bowl winners?

OH WAIT............YEAH THEYRE NOT MRS EDWARDS YOU DUMB SH!T!

[Shep]

What a fucking dick, especially after the Quitness, which he was obviously referencing. Very, very mean-spirited. I'm really eager for that game now.

Look, he's not 100% wrong, but that doesn't mean he has to open his mouth about it.

Right I dont think anyone has delusions of Clevelands bustling population and exhilarating night-life.

But this guy, BE, is a class A douche bag.

I just can't wait for Ward to give this worthless SOB a Russell/ Ochostinko type hit, hope it happens on the Jet's first offensive play of the game and Mr. "Eats a bucket of KFC extra-greasy prior to each game then forgets to wash his hands" has to sit on the bench and get warm beer and piss tossed at him for the rest of the game.
Then he gets hit by a car on his way to the team bus.
Then the paramedics "forget" to latch the door of his ambulance.
They take a turn at 120mph and he goes flying into Lake Erie.
Just to get sucked into the motor wheel of The Goodtime 3 on its way to Put in Bay and gets ground into hamburger for the walleyes.

Yeah, that should do it just for being a first round bust and bashing the city.
I'll think of more later that he deserves just for being your typical POS Michigan guy as well.

"Been drowning". Really Mrs. E?

Way to let the stench of your Wolverine education pathologically destroy your mother's ability to speak Braylon.

You butterfingers, "Stonehands" Featherstone piece of crap.

Anyone who is privileged enough to play football at the pro level and loses there way shouldn't have a very hard time driving down to Canton and taking a look around and understanding what the Browns and football are all about,heritage and tradition.

Hey, if you've got money, every city in the country has plenty of gorgeous neighborhoods, plenty of nice restaurants, and plenty of places to party.
