Let’s see, the Browns lost 23-20 in overtime to drop to 0-4 and Braylon Edwards was catchless, putting up a freaking goose egg in the game. Whatever production he lacked against the Bengals he apparently tried to make up for after the game. Edwards has been accused of punching a club promoter in the face, giving him a cut and black eye and sending the guy to the hospital. The club promoter gave his side of the story:
After the club closed, I was outside greeting and saying goodbye to people. Braylon comes up and started saying things, degrading me. He said if it wasn’t for LeBron or the Four Horsemen, I wouldn’t have what I have, nor would I be able to get girls. Everyone knows Braylon has a problem with LeBron. So I had to speak up for myself. The conversation started to escalate. As some of his teammates started to pull him back, he punched me. I have a black eye and a cut. I’m not a violent guy. As long as I’ve known Braylon, I’ve allowed him and his friends to come into our events free of charge. Whatever jealousy he has with LeBron, he felt he needed to take it out on me.”
I’m sure this guy wasn’t as innocent as he’s coming off in the story but I can buy everything he’s saying about Braylon. If your team was 0-4 in a city where all the fans are hardcore, and you feel embarrassed for not having any catches, I could see where you’d be trying to put others down to pump yourself up. Think about it — this is the same Braylon Edwards who shows off how much alcohol he has stocked at his house. He’s not exactly the smartest cat out there.
