Warren was lazy. I believe this year is a contract year for him. What a shock he is finally motivated once he left Cleveland!

Brown never had an injury UNTIL he came to Cleveland.

Did Paul Brown sell his soul to someone?

Interesting that these first round injuries only happened after the great fans of Cleveland cheered the injury of another 1st round pick, Tim Couch.
Karma sucks.

Can't argue with this. That was one of the sickest scenes I had ever seen to have those fans cheer for an injured player.

But it still doesn't explain why Courtney Brown and Tim Couch had to be busts in Cleveland.

As a Brown fan, I wasnt at the game and watched it on TV. After Couch went down there was a lot of cheering, and I remember thinking how sick that was. Then, the next day on the radio fans kept calling in and saying that they were cheering because Holcomb was coming in. I dont know what the real story is but thats just something to keep in mind.

Notebook
Elated Edwards falls into O-H-I-O trance Browns receiver, former Michigan standout joins in sideline celebration
By George M. Thomas and Marla Ridenour CLEVELAND:
Published on Monday, Oct 01, 2007
Hell is freezing over and the devil is wearing a parka.
Just after Hang on Sloopy, the song that indelibly is linked to the Ohio State Buckeyes blared from the sound system at Cleveland Browns Stadium, Browns wide receiver Braylon Edwards could be seen making the arm movements that spell O-H-I-O. Given that he's disavowed anything related to OSU since his arrival from the University of Michigan on draft day, more than a few heads turned, and he knows it.
''I think the 'O-H-I-O' is so much bigger than Ohio State. I was definitely doing it,'' he said with a wide grin. ''I told myself, 'I'm part of Ohio. This is my residence. This is where I play football. This is where I earn my paycheck. This is the city I've adopted and has adopted me,' . . . so I don't mind doing O-H-I-O. I don't believe it's just pertains to Ohio State. Cleveland is in Ohio. That's my statement. I can live with that.''
It would seem that Edwards is learning the landscape. When asked if he would be rooting for the New York Yankees in their upcoming American League Divisional Series that begins Thursday, he would only say: ''Go, Tribe!''

Edwards enjoys some 'Sloopy' as offense rolls
Monday, October 1, 2007
By Todd Porter
REPOSITORY SPORTS WRITER

CLEVELAND Braylon Edwards is liking this new offense. Almost like a new car.

Edwards, Cleveland's speedy wide receiver who is living up to his No. 3 overall draft slot this season, hit the gas Sunday afternoon. After he blew past Chris McAlister for a 78-yard touchdown catch, Edwards stayed on pace for a 1,000-yard receiving season.

Through four games, the former Michigan Wolverine is averaging nearly 21 yards a catch and 100 yards a game. He has 18 receptions for 375 yards.

Tuesday Conversation: Braylon Edwards
By Jason Cole, Yahoo! Sports

November 27, 2007



Cleveland wide receiver Braylon Edwards, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2005 draft, has started to realize his vast potential during his third season in the NFL. He has scored 11 touchdowns this season, tying the most by a Browns receiver since 1963. He has also led the Browns to a 7-4 record and control of their playoff hopes with five games remaining in the season. On Tuesday, however, Edwards hosted his third annual canned food drive. He hosted a pizza party and did motivational speaking for an elementary school class that gathered the most cans:
Cole: So tell me about the drive.
Edwards: We're trying to show the younger kids that it doesn't take a million dollars, it doesn't take being an actor or a football player to help somebody, to help somebody less fortunate than you are. By just bringing in a can, you're helping somebody and you get excited. Then you might bring in five cans tomorrow or you'll ask your mom, 'Do we have any extra cans?' Then maybe you might take your own money and you find out a can of food isn't that much.
It doesn't cost that much to help. Now, you have a competition within that and they're so excited. They're excited for two reasons. Number one, it's competition and everybody wants to win, and number two, they're helping somebody. Win, lose or draw, you've helped somebody and that's a great feeling. They're kids, they don't have a thousand dollars or a million dollars, but they can be part of something really good.

ACCESS HOLLYWOOD

Braylon Edwards got glowing reviews as Cleveland's marquee wideout. Now he's taking aim at another role: big-screen player.

by Carmen Rene? Thompson

Palm trees flicker through the LA sunshine as a black SUV hangs a right onto Olympic Boulevard. Behind the tinted windows, Braylon Edwards sits in the backseat, excited about the day ahead. This May morning is about opportunity. He has meetings with some of Hollywood's top players, a group who may just hold the ticket to his big-screen dreams.
The SUV pulls into the parking lot at the Film 44 office for the first meet and greet. Edwards steps out in his dark suit, turquoise shirt, paisley tie. The 25-year-old Browns receiver's ensemble was carefully designed, he says, to show he's professional and fun. Even his fragrance, Bond No. 9, serves a higher purpose. "It's my war cologne," he says. "It's a strong, masculine scent. I wear it when I'm trying to show confidence or be dominant."

Heard an interesting statistic on the radio, where Braylon averages well over 100 yards on Monday Night Football (national TV), but only 60ish on Sundays (regional or no TV, ignoring $400 plans).

Here are the quotes which have everyone up in a tizzy:

"People in this town believe they are entitled to too much. They have been disrespectful to me and my family. I've gone out in public with my family and have had to deal with being called foul names. My parents have been called vulgar things at restaurants."

"My biggest problem is that I actually give a damn. I'm always rushing back from surgeries and injuries, never missing games or practices. But through this, I've learned how to overcome adversity. I'm also proud of how my foundation has taken off. I've been doing all this community service in Cleveland ... my charity efforts will only be in Detroit from now on."

Braylon Edwards’ Quote of the Day
lifetimebrown said:
This is a situation where everybody has blame but everyone wants to pass the buck and act like they’re a saint. Braylon wants to dismiss the hostility from the fans as just ignorant hatred on the account he is from Michigan . That’s not the case.

And the fans want to portray things as though their actions towards Braylon are justified because of his poor play. That’s not the case either.

Note to Braylon: You’re Michigan ties don’t help things, but you’re dropped passes are why fans don’t like you.

Note to fans: There is no such thing as justification for the kind of treatment and harassment you are putting Braylon and others associated with the Browns through. It’s disgusting

I really feel for this guy. Even though Braylon "collects" more money in a year than any of us will ever "earn" in a lifetime, you have to feel for the guy and the hostility he feels he's encountered in his career, don't you?:tibor:


Didn't think so. This Punk-A.S.S Muther-F.u.c.k.e.r can't get out of Cleveland soon enough. And p.i.s.s on his assumption that C-Town folks hate "scummers." We (Browns fans) loved Leroy Hoard, Steve Everitt, and Aaron Shea because they were good players from a good program and played the game as professionals, not as the spoiled little prima-donna that is Braylon. Browns fans don't give a rat's-ass where you went to college.
