Braylon Can't Forking Stay Out of Trouble (Jalen Rose Present)
While not directly implicated in the harms befalling two Birmingham bar employees, Braylon once again finds negative spotlight in incidences taking place late Sunday night:
According to FOX 2 in Detroit, two people in Edwards’ entourage were arrested after allegedly assaulting employees at a Birmingham bar.
Per the report, Edwards’ friends got into an argument with the employees. The dispute made its way into the kitchen, and one employee was “sliced with a knife.” The wound required 14 stitches to close. Another employee allegedly was attacked with a fork. (Alas, the Placesetting Trifecta was not completed, possibly because Braylon dropped the spoon.)
Edwards reportedly posted the following on Twitter at about the same time: “Damn. Get ya knuckles ready” and “Don’t fight if. You don’t know how.”
He then gets lampooned for the following Tweets sent in the aftermath
The next morning, the tough talk died down and Edwards tried to run damage control by doing what all celebrities do when they run into trouble on Twitter: Make the "Oh no, my Twitter account got hacked!" excuse. "Yo...Lost my phone last night someone sent tweets," he tweeted. "Deleted them and changed my password. Sorry for the mishap hopefully never happens again!"
Dude. Just stop. Also that bar is a dumpster fire of a crap place.
Edit: Multiple media sources reporting Jalen Rose was with Braylon.

I loved Braylon when he was at U of M. But seriously? This guy has turned into such a joke. Sigh.
I agree. There were times - e.g., 2005 MSU - when I've never seen a college wide receiver dominate a game like Braylon did. In fairness, though, do you remember how frustrating he was early in his career? I'm not even talking about the disciplinary stuff; I just remember so many dropped passes at inopportune times. I can't say I'm all that surprised about how his NFL career has gone.
When he dropped that sure TD against USC I about lost it. That was teh definition of facepalm.
At least he tackled Tedd Ginn that game and didn't let him return a punt for a TD...amirite?
Braylon was in the NFL in 2005.
I think you mean the triple OT MSU game on 10/31/2004, also known as Braylonfest.
late in his career. Junior year, Oregon, Iowa, SC. Two are wins if he holds on to the ball every once in a while, the other one is at least competitive.
He sure isn't acting like a Michigan man, thats for sure.
I think we all know what school he is acting like he went to.
Plus this guy still hasn't signed with an NFL team...what is he thinking?
I thought he had turned things around when he decided to come back for his final year and at the beginning of his senior year when he was all business. It seemed like Lloyd had given him a good talking to. Maybe Lloyd needs to give him another call to set him straight.

1) Nothing good happens after 2 a.m.
2) The internet is not your friend. Repeat: The internet is NOT your friend.
3) Entourages...don't have them.
4) Call a cab. Call a limo service. Call me. But yes, you are too drunk to drive.
Why is it that if the guys is an athlete and he is out with his buddies they are his "entourage"? Seems like he was just hanging out with his friends and some of them did some dumb shit. Can't blame him for it, other than maybe he needs some better friends.
"Can't blame him for it, other than maybe he needs some better friends."
So yes you can blame him for getting his name dragged through the mud. At this point he should know not to hang out with a crew that would do something like that.
Kids will be kids? I hope he grows up, and goes to the Colts.
Especially when in my mid-twenties and having moderate success.
What Braylon needs to learn is that many of those things can happen before 2 a.m., and they don't need to be preceded by entourage deployment and 18 shots of jagermeister.

Oh I could never stay mad at him!
But seriously, get your shit together Braylon, you don't even have a team to play for next year (yet). Come on!
That's the kind of comment I would have formerly expected from the bucknuts forum, but now also expect from mgoblog.
You sure as hell are allowed to be a jackass as long as you make us them touchdowns, derp! /s
Seriously, and we're complaining about other schools' "win at all costs" attitudes?
Sorry, where were his legal troubles WHILE he was a player at Michigan?
Wow, my unwavering support for the guy is starting to...waver.
I feel the same way. My first year in Michigan was 2003 when Braylon hit the scene. I've stood by him even though he powerbombed me on the snow in front of the co-eds during the South Quad-West Quad Snow War, the repeated stupid comments he's made throughout his career, the problems with the law, and the (many) drops. But I'm borderline fed up with the way he has chosen to behave. It reflects negatively on the program and is disrespectful to his many supporters and Michigan Men everywhere.
He talks the talk, but can't crawl his way out of trouble. Regardless of whether he is a free agent or not, timing is not the issue. There simply is no excuse for having friends who stab bartenders with knives and forks.
Braylon is a free agent; the Jets have already signed two wide receivers, so he's no going back there. You think any GM is going to want to make a contract offer in the next few days with this story out there? Well, other than the Raiders.
C'mon Braylon,
forking
əlqɐʌəıləq
I mean, he does realize no one believes that for a second right? Also, in what world does stabbing someone with a fork consist of "knowing how to fight"?
it's better than throwing a shoe
Honestly, who throws a shoe.
He beat the hell out of a guy with his own shoe after the guy threw it at him....throwing a shoe is a good way to get a nike print on your forehead.
Your son didn't fall far from the loser tree, I take it.
awesome
I know better than reply but 99% of your post are about other people sucking. You can look at all of your posts. Is your life so bad that all you have to do in life is be a cock-knuckle to people on Mgoblog? Seems they should add cock-knuckle as "on topic" around here. Sorry I am not up to your standards.
Ask Charles Rogers' ex-girlfriend
Only in Jackie Chan's world in which you find yourself having to fight your way through 25 chef's knife-weilding, black-belted thugs in the kitchen of a Chinatown restaurant on your way to rescue the president's daughter who is locked in the walk-in freezer.
The guy has turned into a disgrace, pure and simple. At some point, he needs to get help and grow up before he ends up doing something that will put him behind bars.
to be clear, edwards wasn't the one forking or knifing right? I feel like people are missing that. It's like when you go to the bar with your friend (THAT friend) and they get forking on the brain. All you can do is try to get them out the door, but good luck with that.
You put yourself into a position where trouble just somehow magically finds you. Maybe he needs to pick some new friends.
This is why members of an entourage should only be allowed to be near sporks.
Guy's an asshole. Not a lot surprising about any of this.
Yeah no kidding. Isn't time we stop his bullshit scholarship , AKA ego tripping on the no.1. Nobody will ever wear that jersey again if we leave it up to him.
I thought he was a good reader, but I'm starting to question that assumption. I'm not optimistic that we'll be on the same page again any time soon, but I hope I'm wrong.
if Braylon is involved with it in any way. It should be a punishment for behaving like an asshole, instead of having wings taken from helmets. He's an infant, and I'm sure Jets fans are relieved to be rid of him.
Actually, until I just saw this thread I'd been pretty upset about the Jets FA moves. I wanted Braylon over Holmes (though I preferred to resign both, and I don't like overpaying Cromartie or signing Plaxico), and I couldn't for the life of me figure out what the Jets managment was thinking. He had a great season last year, went to voluntary workouts out west with Sanchez, and was saying the right things about wanting to be a Jet, even if he got better offers elsewhere. I was proud to wear my Jets #17 jersey on Sundays last year. I thought he would learn from his DUI and finally turn the corner, regain his Pro-Bowl form, and start to grow up. Now this...
Someone needs to make this guy run some more stadium steps until he grows up.
I'm sure Stan will set everyone straight soon enough.
Stan just can't seem to come to grips with the fact that his son is a Grade A dipshit.
Having the big boy talk from dad might not work anymore.
......perhaps he needs someone other than himself to do his marketing.
I'm sure RCMB is having a field day with this, but Braylon didn't actually commit a crime here. It's still the same old stuff: Sparty people commit violent misdemeanors and felonies, while Wolverines usually confine it to DUI's, simple possession of pot, or sometimes not being able to keep their friends from doing something stupid.
This is much ado over nothing. He does need to get rid of the entourage and stop "living large," though. I would like to see him have a little of that money left to have a good life after he retires.
You degrade M's rivals, then promptly hold your own to the same low standards.
I dont think you will have to worry about that?
The honor of the #1 jersey is beginning to diminish with every negative report on Mr. Edwards.
I'll always remember Braylon-fest as one of the highlights of his career, but I also vividly remember his lack of effort to go down and get a ball that was thrown at his shoes against SC in the Rose Bowl. The ball took an unfortunate bounce and landed right into a Trojans hands who ran it back inside the 5, if I recall correctly. Arrghhhh.
It wasn't a lack of effort, it was a poorly-thrown ball that took a one-in-a-million, total gift ricochet...
I have a different opinion, so we'll have to agree to disagree. It was a poorly thrown ball and it was at his shoes and behind him, but big players make big plays. I'm not saying he hauls that pass in, but we'll never know because he didn't even try. He kept running his crossing route, cocked his head back in apparent frustration, and never even realized the guy picked it off.
