Braylon Edwards had to feel on top of the world. He caught a touchdown and a 2 point conversion in Sunday's win over the Patriots. He'd shut up Joe Namath by catching 5 of the 6 balls thrown in his direction. Then he got drunk and decided to be chauffeur to two teammates.
Do these athletes realize that this is a world full of consequences? Edwards should. He was hanging out with Donte Stallworth the night he drove drunk and killed a man. So maybe Braylon should know better. Does he not have two buddies in his contact list he could call. "Hey could one of you pick me up and the other drive my car home?"
And where is Coach of the Millenium Rex Ryan on this one? I'm not blaming him for Edwards' behavior. Then again, Rex hardly instills discipline. When in Hard Knocks did he talk about the importance of making smart decisions? He probably had his mouth full of double-stuffed Oreo's.
And what are the Jets going to do to Edwards this week? Essentially nothing. Which kind of pisses me off because they're pretending to do something. "He will not start... He will dress. He will play at some point." This isn't baseball. Starting a game doesn't mean much, especially for a wide receiver. That just means he's on the bench for the first play.
Hey, if you don't want to suspend him in a key divisional game, I can understand. But don't be a bullshit artist and pretend you're punishing him because he'll miss 1st & 10. The Jets which will play Edwards when they want to, and won't hold him back in an effort to discipline him. Which is fine, but don't try to make it seem like you're punishing him.
