Braylon Suspended by BTN
September 3rd, 2018 at 2:35 PM ^
If you agre with Braylon, you are wrong, you are a petulant child, and you are a fool. You need to seriously reevaluate the way you act and think. I feel sorry for you.
September 3rd, 2018 at 6:55 PM ^
I’m talking about his criticism of the team read my whole post before you open your mouth. I am against him talking shit against players. But harbaugh deserves the criticism. I hope harbaugh realizes how hot his seat is right now
September 3rd, 2018 at 7:55 PM ^
Before you post something, think for 5 seconds. You agreed with Braylon’s comments. If you agree relative to Harbaugh, you are calling him trash. That is unacceptable and you should feel shame and retract your stupid statement. There is no debate here. It is cut and dried.
Harbaugh’s seat is quite comfortable. Ridiculous opinions like yours matter not.
September 3rd, 2018 at 2:38 PM ^
This coming from a guy who was looking to leave the program because Carr was holding him accountable. He was soft the first three years in the program. Having to face adversity and criticism steeled his spine, as Coach says. Seems he forgot his flaws too.
September 3rd, 2018 at 2:40 PM ^
As he should be. Calling your former program TRASH and passively insulting the fans is not something a former player should do. And his "Self evaluation" portion could be read as him saying we need a coaching change
His tweet made me pretty mad. We don't need former player jumping on the Michigan hate dog pile after a loss. Theres already enough people shitting on us. Also, this could hurt recruiting. It certainly wont draw recruits to our program if they see former UM stars calling the current team trash
And to top it off its not like Braylons Michigan teams accomplished anything so great that he can sit up on his high horse talking down to the current team. He won 10 games twice. Harbaugh has done that twice already.
September 3rd, 2018 at 2:49 PM ^
Braylon didn't lie, but you can't say that in context.
September 3rd, 2018 at 2:56 PM ^
It's funny that he calls Ruiz weak. He's a sophomore going against a big time defensive tackle. But Ruiz is physically and mentally stronger than Braylon will ever be.
September 3rd, 2018 at 2:57 PM ^
This all goes back to Harbaugh cutting him from the 49ers after the 2011 season.
September 3rd, 2018 at 9:37 PM ^
Yeah, it's got nothing to do with Saturday's game being an abject disaster; or with the last three years bearing zero improvement.
September 3rd, 2018 at 3:02 PM ^
twitter is trash, especially when you've been drinking
September 3rd, 2018 at 3:22 PM ^
The good news for Braylon is he’ll have plenty of time to drink & tweet.
September 3rd, 2018 at 3:59 PM ^
That's strange, I always assumed that twitter was trash because they were drinking.
Perhaps I need to re-evaluate.
September 3rd, 2018 at 3:19 PM ^
Braylon's shots at Harbaugh were extremely eye rolling.
Braylon was very vocal about how happy he was with the hiring of Brady Hoke yet I don't remember him saying these comments and anger after losses to Maryland, Rutgers and when we were 5 yards away from losing to Akron.
September 3rd, 2018 at 3:26 PM ^
He's entitled to his opinion and can express it however he'd like to whether we like it or not....I draw the line at calling kids out by name. That crossed the line.
September 3rd, 2018 at 3:42 PM ^
Start your own show, Braylon.
He didn't lie.
September 3rd, 2018 at 3:42 PM ^
I'm not sure that Braylon is "right" upstairs, between the ears. I honestly wonder if there's something going on up there that none of us know about.
September 3rd, 2018 at 4:05 PM ^
I'll venture a guess, he was drunk or high when he posted this stuff. He's very lucky it is a suspension and he wasn't canned. He better clean up his act if he wants media work.
September 3rd, 2018 at 9:43 PM ^
Why do all of you want him to have been drunk or high when he posted that? It says a lot about your integrity, or lack thereof. I was sober when that shit-show ended, and I agree with his anger. And as much as you all hate to admit it, he's not wrong about the current state of the program.
I didn't notice Ruiz, but I damn sure saw how Shea is scared to get hit, while McCaffrey took on contact.
With as many of you that talk about getting drunk, you should try to be a little less hypocritical.
September 4th, 2018 at 2:12 AM ^
Another troll showing up to back the stupidity. And you are in fact stupid if you back these comments. Befitting of your origins.
The comments are not accurate and not appropriate. Ruiz is not weak and played a very good game. Patterson did not play scared and extended many plays to move the ball and end with a 66% completion percentage.
Go back to whatever pitiful East Division program that you represent. Your comments as associated with Braylon’s have no value here.
September 3rd, 2018 at 3:46 PM ^
The whole thing saddens me. I really like Braylon. This hurts him more than the team. The team is not hurt by this, they are hurt by the loss. These guys worked their asses off and lost. That's what hurts them. It's just one game. Lots of games to play
September 3rd, 2018 at 4:02 PM ^
What does he have to tweet to get fired?
September 3rd, 2018 at 4:29 PM ^
I wonder how his brother feels about being called trash. Or was he so drunk that he forgot Berkley was part of this “trash” team?
September 3rd, 2018 at 4:34 PM ^
I get being upset but why are people acting like he killed somebody? These aren't toddlers, these are grown ass men - many old enough to drink, all old enough to join the Army, Navy, Air Force, etc. If I was them I'd be disrespected that everyone's treating me like a child, not that someone had input on my performance. You can't control what others think or say.
Should Braylon have been suspended for what he said? Yes, he was unprofessional, but come on this isn't the end of the world... relax.
Now lets actually get to what he said.
Did Shea look scared? Hell no. He played a solid game and IMO a great game given the circumstances. He gave us a chance to win.
Is Ruiz trash? No, but one can argue he played a trash game. Or if you guys crying want it more "politically correct", One can argue this wasn't his best day.
September 3rd, 2018 at 5:06 PM ^
My guess is Braylon makes over $500k a year to be a member of BTN. The kids he called weak and trash are on scholarship and don't really have a pulpit to defend themselves. Yes, the world isn't ending, but when a 35-year-old man calls out teenagers online, it's okay to think he's an asshole and for him to be punished. The fact he may or may not have been right doesn't change the calculus.
September 3rd, 2018 at 5:21 PM ^
They definitely can defend themselves. Gary called Braylon out in today’s presser. Not to mention almost all of these guys have social media.
But you’re right, him being partially right doesn’t make it okay for him to say it the way he did - which is exactly why he got suspended. I’m just saying nobody on the team benefits from this unless they use it for motivation. Again, like I said IMO they’re men. Times will come where someone may critique your performance harshly and maybe even disrespect you in doing so. Will you get mad or will you get better?
September 3rd, 2018 at 6:43 PM ^
So basically, let’s blame the 20-year-olds who were personally insulted, and not the 35-year-old man who leveled these insults, because he was good at running after a football 15 years ago. And if they’re grown men, WTF is he? Senile?
Are you this big of a jock sniffer that you can’t see what an asshole move Braylon made here?
September 3rd, 2018 at 8:30 PM ^
I never said you should blame them. But does Braylon play in the games? The people who directly affect a game are the players and the coaches. If one or both aren’t to blame then who is? The drunk 35 year old man tweeting from a different state? Lol I’m done with this topic.
Like I’ve said in other posts, what he said was wrong. It was a dumb decision. But his whole sentiment wasn’t wrong. That’s all I have on this.
September 3rd, 2018 at 6:44 PM ^
There’s no way Braylon makes a half million dollars working at BTN. No way. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was as low as the high five figures. TV money isn’t that good on a regional cable sports network.
September 3rd, 2018 at 4:40 PM ^
Suspended??
Good. He's a member of the media now. He can't be talking shit like that publicly ..
September 3rd, 2018 at 4:53 PM ^
Good. He's the real trash.
September 3rd, 2018 at 5:26 PM ^
Don’t know if this has been mentioned yet, but Lloyd Carr needs to be on the phone with Edwards RIGHT NOW telling him to quit being such an asshole!
September 3rd, 2018 at 6:38 PM ^
Well, Braylon is also a regular on WTKA's lineup of programs. And WTKA engineers produce Harbaugh's podcast, so I wonder whether he will be invited to appear or respond to the BTN suspension. I am guessing he will be persona non grata on their shows as well.
September 3rd, 2018 at 5:48 PM ^
I hope he was under the influence. That certainly doesn't excuse his remarks. But can't imagine a sane, rational, sober Michigan Man to act like that...
September 3rd, 2018 at 6:04 PM ^
Let the first to have never said anything negative about a player cast the first stone. He made a mistake. He knows it. Let it be.
September 3rd, 2018 at 6:12 PM ^
Okay dude.
Sure. You can think it. You can say it to your bathroom mirror while you are shaving.
But I think you know the difference from those two examples and making posts on Twitter to hundreds of thousands of people, right? Or how about making such statements to the players to their faces in the locker room or in the gym.
Yeah. I didn't think so.
September 3rd, 2018 at 6:49 PM ^
Braylon isn’t showing that he “knows it.” He’s doubling down on his idiocy.
September 3rd, 2018 at 6:11 PM ^
One would expect a little more common sense from a 35 year old man.
But of course I have to be proven utterly wrong about such things.
Thanks Braylon, you colossal dumbfuck.
September 3rd, 2018 at 7:31 PM ^
Maybe BTN will add another former Buckeye to their broadcast. Maybe A.J. Hawk or Andy Katzenmoyer. That would be greeaaaaat.
September 3rd, 2018 at 10:00 PM ^
It would be peak BTN to hire a guy who was illiterate the entire time he was in college.
September 3rd, 2018 at 7:42 PM ^
Im not going to say Ive given up on Michigan Football...BUT...after decades of watching every minute of every game every snap pre and post game tv,and radio shows, I found myself not watching the game in its entirity..after the first 10 mins I had seen enough...same ole same ole and I had work to do (just bought a new house)..so i stopped watching and checked in every now and then to see where it was at...what I did see was AWFUL and PREDICTABLE....I cant even believe Its gotten to the point where I just casually watch and find myself looking forward to Basketball season...Beginning to think Harbaught is a bust
September 3rd, 2018 at 9:48 PM ^
Harbaugh made out like a bandit didn't he. 8 mil a year for mediocruty.
September 4th, 2018 at 2:14 AM ^
The troll is back. You did not learn to spell either at truck driving school.
September 3rd, 2018 at 8:19 PM ^
Braylon is still a young man. He needs to find serenity but he's not going to find it in a bottle or a can.
September 3rd, 2018 at 11:41 PM ^
Everyone mad about this is so soft. Who cares what he thinks? If you don't want to be called trash, don't lose the game.
September 4th, 2018 at 10:54 AM ^
Looks like Braylon is doing the Michigan football program a favor. Even though the team did have some problems in the game, it seems like everyone is jumping on the bandwagon and supporting Ruiz, Patterson, and the team and the hate talk is going towards Braylon.
