Braylon Edwards (official drop thread)

Pretty sad that these guys don't take advantage of the free ride service the team provides. I know the Bengals have the same thing in place (as every NFL team probably does) -- every player gets a card to put in their wallet with the number to call if they need to be picked up anywhere -- no questions asked 24/7. Yet Rey Malaluga (sp?) did the same thing as Braylon last year, even though it wasn't the first time he had dealt with the cops for the same issue. Just mind boggling. But I guess that's the NFL for ya.

Even worse, he didn't need to call a taxi, the NFL/NFLPA has a totally free service for the players. The NFL/team picks up the entire tab: Safe Ride Solutions

After a night of revelry, the last person you want to encounter is a police officer. But a nationwide car service employs off-duty and retired police officers to pick up revelers and drive them home safely. Lorenzo Neal, NFL fullback and founder of Safe Ride Solutions, shares his determination to put an end to drunk driving and explains why this method might actually work.

"It's a nationwide DUI prevention program that uses off-duty officers or retired officers," Lorenzo explains. "They will come pick you up, as well as your car and your friends, and take you home safely. You can get your car home safely, you're home safely, knowing that the people that are taking you home are professional, trained officers who are providing a service and giving back to the community."

Lorenzo adds that all the officers sign confidentiality agreements, and privacy is ensured.

Apparently the Jets GM believes that "nothing good happens after 5:15 AM" too. :biggrin:

Jets irked Braylon Edwards was out late

MIAMI -- Embattled wide receiver Braylon Edwards won't start for the New York Jets Sunday night against the Miami Dolphins, but not because of his drunken-driving arrest.
It's because of when he was arrested, according to Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum.
"We felt he didn't deserve to start based on the fact that ... not for the arrest as much as going out and being out until 5 in the morning," Tannenbaum said Sunday morning as a guest of Ian O'Connor on 1050 ESPN Radio.

Braylon Edwards' birthday

A Caesar salad would have gone well with the Jets wideout's cake at the fabulous MGM Grand Detroit Ignite Lounge, where he celebrated reaching the ripe old age of 28 as well as his rout of Pharnaces II of Pontus in 47 BC.

Braylon reflects on his “B.S.” DUI stop, wants “a good situation”

article said:
“The bad thing about this situation is I never drive in New York,” Edwards said on WXYT in Detroit, via SportsRadioInterviews.com. “One I don’t know where the heck I’m going and two the roads are too bumpy and the traffic is crazy. I usually always have a chauffeur, but it was a random situation where I went to a teammates event and stepped out after that. Why I got pulled over wasn’t even because of erratic driving or suspicion of intoxicated driving, it was for tinted windows, which was B.S.”
That doesn’t exactly sound like Edwards has learned from his mistake, but he insists that he has.
“Things happen, but you learn from it,” Edwards said. “No matter if you drove there, you’ve gotta make sure you have someone drive you back. Whether it’s a cab, friend, or whatnot. Just don’t put yourself in that position. You learn from it.”


Edwards is a free agent who doesn’t know where he’ll sign when the lockout ends, but he knows he needs a “good situation” — which isn’t what he thinks he had in Cleveland.
...
Just a situation where I don’t have to start from scratch like the Buffalo Bills or something.”
I’m sure Bills fans would say the feeling is mutual.

That’s to bad he doesn’t want to play for the Bills, we’ve really been hoping for a arrogant receiver who drops alot of passes since we lost T.O

Nothing has ever been you fault Braylon. Maybe the cop just pulled you over because “you were from Michigan”.

You’re going to drink and drive with Limousine tints and complain about it? Weren’t you drinking with Stallworth too?
You don’t do it a lot so that makes it OK? WOW.
You’re going to REDIRECT the blame in a contract year? LOL.
So the rest of us know that those Tints are SCREAMING “pull me over, pull me over” and yet is was all BS?

At the time of Braylon Edwards’ DUI arrest, it was reported that his blood alcohol limit was .16. That’s twice the legal limit.
Edwards doesn’t seem to be disputing that the test results were accurate and that the was legally quite drunk. Instead, he’s publicly complaining now that because he was drunkenly keeping his car between the lines, he shouldn’t have been pulled over in the first place? In other words, “I’m such a good drunk driver that they shouldn’t have pulled me over.”
