OT: Braylon Arrested for DWI

I may have posted 2nd, but I got a link!  He needs to grow up.

With that kind of coin you have the flexibility to construct protective bubbles whenever you need them (for, say, when you're drunk).  I'm reminded of Plaxico Burress and his accidental shooting.  In that case, why not *pay* someone else to carry the weapons (if you insist on doing that type of thing)?

I'm sorry to be interjecting late, because I have some valid insight on this.  Braylon came to a private party hosted by Josh Cribbs at a bar I managed in Ohio.  I'll always point out that he was overly courteous, and took the time to learn his bartenders name, as well as mine.  I had the displeasure of serving other college and pro athletes.  For the most part, they were all pricks.  Anyway, on that night, there were 1000 people at the bar who drank just as much as he did (well, probably not all of them, but he didn't get sloppy).

As for the Lebron thing.  I don't have personal insight, but from what I hear, he is a raging dbag.  His friend probably deserved exactly what he got.

DUI's happen, unfortunately.  Most people, myself included, could have been handed a DUI.  It's kinda luck of the draw.  Is it immature, probably.  Is it uncommon?  Nope.  I can't really name too many adults in my circle that have never been over the limit.

Athletes tend to think they're invincible and beyond reproach.

One of the first things I'd do with BE's money is get a driver.  When you live the show, "Entourage" you might as well go whole hog.

Glad no one was hurt, anyway.

It's clearly John Navarre's fault.

Of course it is. Braylon is so distraught over RR STILL not asking him which receiver should wear the #1 jersey....

My sentiments exactly. One of my favorite collegiate football players and one of my least favorite pro football players.

That does smell... odd, doesn't it?

It's not like they need an excuse for a DWI checkpoint.

Because real n*ggas do real things.

I wasn't looking at the performance from a pure numbers standpoint.  It was almost a must-win for the Jets, vs. the Patriots, at home.  And with Sanchez coming off a lousy opener, Braylon stepped up big time.  Definitely one of his better games.

"... primadonna #1 kerfuffle (go to the media first, not the Head Coach)..."

Agreed -- if his ego didn't block out the sun, he would've handled the matter privately.

or even pseudo superstar reaches the point where they feel there is nobody out there capable of  telling them anything anymore. Some of them respond really poorly to that situation.

I'm not sure Rex Ryan is the best influence for someone who has a ton of talent, but needs to get his head on straight.

He needs someone who will chew his ass out. Who is the NFL version of Larry Brown? I don't think Rex Ryan being there helps. Regardless, what he did was really stupid.

But Tuesday is their day off, so today is, in a way, his weekend.  Lord knows I've had a number of weekend nights when I was up at 5:30

Going to work out?

Well, after this, if he were still at Michigan I know what he would be doing at 5:30 a.m. - running the stairs at Michigan Stadium in hopes that Lloyd would give him another shot. 

At least LeBron hasn't turned his back on your hometown...

/toosoon?

Also in C-town here, I've never gone from loving a player so much to disliking him (oh wait, Lebron, fuck).  I'm still having trouble with Braylon.

He's been back for a bunch of games, and was just recognized on the field at the uconn game. After the spat over the #1 jersey I thought he's supported richrod.

i don't see what evidence you have for him "turning his back" on the program.
