Braylon Can't Forking Stay Out of Trouble (Jalen Rose Present)
While not directly implicated in the harms befalling two Birmingham bar employees, Braylon once again finds negative spotlight in incidences taking place late Sunday night:
According to FOX 2 in Detroit, two people in Edwards’ entourage were arrested after allegedly assaulting employees at a Birmingham bar.
Per the report, Edwards’ friends got into an argument with the employees. The dispute made its way into the kitchen, and one employee was “sliced with a knife.” The wound required 14 stitches to close. Another employee allegedly was attacked with a fork. (Alas, the Placesetting Trifecta was not completed, possibly because Braylon dropped the spoon.)
Edwards reportedly posted the following on Twitter at about the same time: “Damn. Get ya knuckles ready” and “Don’t fight if. You don’t know how.”
He then gets lampooned for the following Tweets sent in the aftermath
The next morning, the tough talk died down and Edwards tried to run damage control by doing what all celebrities do when they run into trouble on Twitter: Make the "Oh no, my Twitter account got hacked!" excuse. "Yo...Lost my phone last night someone sent tweets," he tweeted. "Deleted them and changed my password. Sorry for the mishap hopefully never happens again!"
Dude. Just stop. Also that bar is a dumpster fire of a crap place.
Edit: Multiple media sources reporting Jalen Rose was with Braylon.
Great players make great plays, but almost no one can completely change direction on a slant route and catch a ball thrown both at their feet and well behind them. If you don't like Braylon, that's fine, but I don't know how you can reasonably second guess that particular play. Especially when there are a few dozen better examples in his illustrious career of dropping fairly easy passes on a regular basis during his four years at Michigan...
DONATIONS!!! YEAH!!!
I don't have the stomach to go back and look at that play but if I remember correctly, the ball bounced off of Braylon's heel, went straight up and the USC player grabbed it before Braylon could even turn around. It was a flukey, extremely lucky play that went USC's way, the kind of plays they have benefited from since the beginning of time. You will never see Michigan get a break like that in the Rose Bowl. If you want to be angry with Braylon in that game, be angry about that bomb on our first drive that he dropped which would have been a sure TD.
I too wish Braylon would stay out of trouble. I don't think he was ever a saint, even while at UM. But I really wish he'd stay out of the news unless he's doing something good. This is really starting to get annoying.
Always loved Braylon and always will. When you are a public figure and you go to the bar you are going to get attention good and bad. Look at the stupid Real World kids getting yelled at everywhere they go. You have to live your own life and sometimes in bars shit happens.
I think we should with hold judgment here. Two persons in his entourage were arrested, he was not, if the police thought he committed a crime they would have arrested Braylon. Are the tweets in bad taste? Yes, is bad taste a crime? No. if bad taste was a crime all MSU fans would be in jail.
If he keeps this up he may be running routes for T Pryor in good old Saskatchewan!
Because it sounds like dangerous work.
When the New York Jets replace you with Plaxico Burress in order to bring more stability to the team, and fewer off-the-field problems into the locker room, you've got issues.
I guess I was wrong in thinking that the only way to get into trouble in Birmingham was to sneak out one of the golf carts after dark.
Braylon is becoming an embarrassment. He seems like such a prick. Your twitter account was not hacked, you're like a 6 year old that's trying to avoid getting in trouble.
If there is one thing I have learned in life it's don't believe everything you see on the news. There are always 2 sides to a story and this story did'nt even directly involve Braylon. it's like blaming Mcdonald's because 2 of their employees broken into your car.......
He chooses who to have in his "entourage," and if they're in his entourage, I'm sure he has the power to call them off and tell them not to get violent.
I'm sure everyone posting here has atleast one "friend" that can be a dick. Don't matter to me tho I'm sure Braylon is crying himself to sleep at night on his giant pile of money because some mgonerds think he is a dick...
Nothing good happens to professional athletes after midnight. I don't know why they can't just lead calm lives - no good comes from being out at a bar and watching your friends get into an argument. Just tell them to f-ing shut it and leave!!! Its not rocket science.
We've all known them in our lives. Sometimes they're personally involved, sometimes not, but they always seem to end up connected to it.
The worst thing you can do is to hang out with a trouble magnet. Eventually, inevitably, you'll end up dragged into their black hole of dumb.
Yeah what a douchebag. Where does he get off putting inner city kids through college? The audacity.
Sticking feathers up your butt doesn't make you a chicken.
Mussolini ran the trains on time, the audacity of people to drag his naked corpse through the streets. Sometimes loser assholes do good things, we're not cartoon characters.
Very logical argument on your part. Comparing one of the worst dictators of the 20th Century to a guy who makes boneheaded decisions every now and then. Braylon is a loser asshole now because he doesn't live up to your standards? H
I'm pretty sure there was a thread about Braylon a while ago where I said I just don't care about Braylon anymore and you came back with the same response. If you're going to give him a pass on everything he does because he does this one thing, then go ahead and do so, but it's an idiotic thing to do.
Don't get me wrong, putting inner city kids through college like Braylon is doing is a wonderful thing. I commend him for it. But that doesn't give him a pass on all the stupid shit he does, like spurring on a fight that led to stabbings. I don't think anyone here is saying he's a bad person. We're just saying he's being a dumbass and has god awful judgement right now, and it's true.
Too many people here give players a pass for stupid shit they do just because they're associated with Michigan. Whether they're a player, former player, or even just someone that Michigan is recruiting, if they hear that they have something to do with Michigan, all is forgiven. And it's a sad thing, but it's true.
Braylon might be a really nice guy. I don't know, I've never met him. But that doesn't mean he gets a pass on all the stupid shit he does. Hell, Mel Gibson donates to multiple charities. Are you willing to give him a pass as well?
Braylon Edwards is fast approaching "human train wreck" status.
Yes, if you are a large professional athlete that has a history of run-ins with the law, then what you say is exactly correct. You should be held to a higher standard. In such a situation, you need to manhandle the supposed "friends" that threaten to further tarnish your name by getting into a ridiculous fight in a restaurant and throw them the hell out of the place before things escalate. If you don't, you're guilty by association.
For good examples, see: Ray Lewis prosecution and the several recent lawuits filed against famous people in cases where their bodyguards go rogue and beat the piss out of people.
Braylon is apunk and an idiot. He's proven as much ever since he left school. I'm tired of making excuses for him. I hope his daddy (Stan Edwards) stops making excuses for him as well.
I like how everyone who posts anyhting Pro-Braylon gets negged.
Please let's not even try to bring up the results of lawsuits as being a guage of right or wrong. Hundreds of thousands of completely worthless lawsuits are allowed into U.S courts on a daily basis.
I'm saying that we don't know what happend here, we don't know who started this "fight" , we don't know who got "cut" we don't how they got cut. When people see a celebrity they tend to get a little pushy and little douche. So i'm going to wait for the whole story to come out before i start damning Braylon for the actions of his Friends.
You can get off your soap box now. People speculate on everything, including the guilt or innocence of a suspect. And I would like to hear your opinion on "worthless" lawsuits in the court system when you find the need to litigate a small-claims matter or whatever. I suspect if that happens you won't be so critical of the court system. That said, of course there is worthless litigation (see prosecuting Casey Anthony for first-degree murder rather than going for the easier homicide charge). But if it looks like a turd and smells like a turd, its probably a turd, know what I mean?
Well considering they could'nt prove how Casey Anthony daughters died the decision to prosecute her for murder was pretty stupid, don't you think.
I never said small claims lawsuits where worthless , I said hundred of thousands of worthless cases get filed daily. If you would like some examples How about Kyle richards sueing the state of Michigan for removing porn from prisons... or an inmate sueing the state for not providing chunky peanut butter , or someone sueing for 1mill in damages because her ice cream melted. These my friend are worthless lawsuits.
Braylon may have to donate $50,000-$100,000 more to the university to keep Bando Calrissian's love.
Obsessed much?
Lol at him claiming he was "hacked"
"Wasn't me who tweeted that, was someone else. Sorry!"
It's a real shame he can't get his head on straight
has reached critical levels. As to Mr. Edwards I'll leave you with the immortal paraphrase from Coach D. Green, "He's exactly who we thought he was..."
