LeBron James statement on claim that Braylon Edwards attacked James' friend
By Plain Dealer staff

Associated PressCleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron JamesFrom Brian Windhorst, The Plain Dealer


CLEVELAND, Ohio ? LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers responded Monday afternoon to an attack on one of his friends, who was punched early Monday outside a downtown nightclub. James' friend, Edward Givens, said Braylon Edwards punched him outside the View nightclub. Givens said the motive for the attack was Edwards' jealousy of James.
This is what James said:

He's (Givens) a good friend of mine. The situation is sensitive right now. But it is unfortunate. Hopefully my friend is doing well at this point.
It is unfortunate when something like this happens at someone's work place. My friend, that is where he works, and it is unfortunate that it happened there.

I've never crossed paths with Braylon before but it seems like there is a little jealously going on with Braylon and me and my friends. I have no idea why. I've never said anything to Braylon at all. For him to do that I think is very childish. My friend is 130 pounds, seriously it is like hitting one of my kids or something like that. It doesn't make sense but the right people will take care of it.

It hits home for me when I hear something like that at 7 a.m. in the morning when I get up for work.

I know how to handle myself as a professional athlete and I take care of my friends and my family. It is unfortunate that some guys don't understand that. You are a role model to kids and you should carry yourself that way on and off the field. And I carry that. I'm not going to do anything to jeopardize myself or my family. I'm one of the guys that look at being a professional athlete at more than just being out on the court.

This is the best Browns news I've heard all season.


See ya Braylon!!! Have a good time in New York. I hear they are a very understanding and appreciative fan base.

:lol:
Snowballs are going to be hard for him to duck and move the more he keeps missing catches.

Trade Braylon Edwards? If I'm Cleveland Browns coach Eric Mangini, I do it, too - Terry Pluto

If I'm Eric Mangini, I do exactly what the Browns coach did this morning -- I trade Braylon Edwards.
I do it knowing Edwards might go to the New York Jets and play like a star. He has the talent. He has the motivation, having wanted to play in a major market and also being a free agent at the end of the season. He could make this trade look very bad in the short term for the Browns.
I do it knowing the Browns didn't strike football gold in return. They added what is expected to be a third- and a fifth-round draft picks, along with reserve receiver Chansi Stuckey, and special teams star Jason Trusnik, a product of Nordonia High and Ohio Northern.
I do it because my team is 0-4 with Edwards, whose 10 catches are actually one fewer than what Stuckey has with the Jets. I do it because when the Browns tried to deal Edwards around the draft, the highest pick they could receive was a third-rounder along with some journeymen veterans.
I do it not just because Edwards was involved in an incident at a downtown Cleveland night club at 2:30 a.m. Monday where he was accused of assault by a friend of LeBron James -- but because this is just the latest in several immature decisions made by Edwards.

Now that I've had some time to reflect, this trade had to happen for two reasons:

1. We were not going to win with Braylon Edwards anyway this year.

2. He wasn't going to resign for next year.

The only negative to the trade is that it may send a message to the other players that they can whine and cry their way out of Cleveland if they become too big of a distraction.

They'd have to work awfully hard to be as big a distraction and simultaneously get less out of more talent as Edwards has managed.
