Is New York still trying to land LeBron James?
November 10, 2009
And in case you haven’t heard, LeBron James hates Braylon Edwards’ guts.
Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James called former Cleveland Browns receiver Braylon Edwards ”childish” for allegedly punching his friend, Edward Givens outside of a Cleveland night club.
Yes, you read it, Braylon Edwards found a way to attract all the media attention without doing anything substantial in the 2009 NFL football season. James said Edwards punched Givens, his friend and a promoter with a Cleveland marketing firm who was working outside the club.
Based on the official report, Givens accused an unidentified man of punching him in the face following an argument at approximately 2:30 a.m. Givens, who is listed as 5-foot-7, 135 pounds on the report, said the 6-foot-3, 215-pound Braylon Edwards hit him with a closed fist. Givens added that he suffered a black eye and cut and was later treated at a nearby hospital.
Browns coach Eric Mangini was aware of the alleged altercation and said he spoke with Edwards. ”Personal conduct is very important to me,” said Mangini, who has drawn criticism for fining players this season for breaking team rules.
”I always want our players to put themselves in the most positive positions. This is something I will continue to gather information on.”
Edwards, has been a major problem for the Cleveland Browns in the past. While recovering from a foot injury, he cut his heel running in his socks after practice. Last year, he was pulled over in his Bentley for driving 120 mph in a 65 mph zone.
He has dropped passes, criticized Cleveland’s play-calling, argued with teammates and famously took a helicopter to the Ohio State – Michigan game in 2006 despite being told not to go.
Edwards was also caught partying in March with teammate Donte’ Stallworth, who later that night struck and killed a 59-year-old pedestrian while driving drunk in Miami. Stallworth has been suspended for the season.
And now that he has gotten into LeBron’s bad side, a cardinal sin if you’re a sports athlete in Cleveland, the Browns have decided to trade him away to the New York Jets. For now, the New York Jets – Braylon Edwards relationship has been smooth, that’s until the Knicks start going after the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar in the 2010 free agency.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see Edwards kicked out of New York to make way for LeBron James.
