Braylon Needed the Boot

After reading some of the local columnists, Braylon Edwards got what he wanted and the Browns got what they wanted – to get rid of Edwards. Edwards had one good season and that was it. He always thought he should not have been in Cleveland and thought the problems he suffered on the field (albeit 2007) was not his fault.

It was because he was from Michigan or the quarterbacks or the line or the other receivers or the…well you get it.

Edwards acted like a kid, never accepting responsibility for his own actions.

The latest off-field incident with LeBron’s friend was the proverbial straw for the coaching staff and management. Did the Browns get anything good? They got rid of a problem. That was good. Good luck to the Jet.

Mike Tannenbaum, NY Jets GM said he was excited to add Edwards to the team. Although he gave up a couple of players, he thought it was best for the team. Tannenbaum said the trade just took a long time and that the incident on Sunday really had nothing to do with the trade. The risk of taking Edwards was reasonable and manageable said Tannenbaum.

Tannenbaum also said if there is any discipline from the league or law enforcement, they will fully cooperate.

Good-bye and good luck Braylon.


Browns New Child

We found this interesting but amusing story…

Justice in Cleveland, Ohio

Cleveland, OH (AP) – A seven-year old boy was at the center of a Cuyahoga County courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulation requiring that family unity be maintained to the highest degree possible.  
      
The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried and said that they also beat him. 


 After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.

 After two recesses to check legal references and confer with the child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Cleveland Browns, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.
