Edwards Drops the Ball...Again.

Luckily for Bray Bray, the news of Brady Quinn starting has taken a lot of focus off of a bad trend for #17. Braylon Edwards leads the league in Drops, according to Elias Sports Bureau. They have the number at 14. (a generous 14. We counted at least 3 more in the Shaver Sports Film room) A league high 14 Drops this year and we are only half way through the season? (2007 NFL Stats show Braylon was tied for league lead with Dallas Clark at 12.)

Just as bothersome as the drops is the lack of accountability that BE has shown. After last weeks embarassment, Edwards made himself unavailable again to the media, and according to ESPN Cleveland's Michael Reghi, that is 3 Games now that Edwards has had nothing to say. This is the same Braylon Edwards who was seen talking all off-season, promoting Yahoo! Fantasy Football, his own aspiring career in Hollywood, and making wagers with Olympic Gold Medalist Michael Phelps (He would have been a lot better off if he bet Phelps he would have 2x more Drops than he had Gold medals). I guess Braylon only talks when the Going Is Good. Think we will hear from Braylon this week? I guess it depends if he scores a TD or not..

Either way, this kid has a lot of growing up to do, both On and Off the field.

Phelps is a Better WR than Chad Johnson

In response to being asked about Michael Phelps last Chad Johnson made the statement that he is a better swimmer than Phelps. As a result, I think Phelps is a better WR than Chad. Johnson said the following on PTI last week:

"The problem with Michael Phelps is there’s no competition where he is,” Johnson said. “Now if he came to where I’m from, which is the inner city, Liberty City [in Miami], I was the three-time Charles Hadley Pool champ. . . . I know a couple people who could beat Michael Phelps right now. Seriously, I’m telling you. And I’m one of them.”

In the past I have found a lot of what Chad Johnson has said funny, but this comment just comes off as sounding a bit weird. Cinco just sounds jealous of attention that Phelps is getting right now, and is begging for some of that same attention to go his way. The reality is, Johnson is a small fish, in a big pond of Pro Athletes...known more for his mouth than his game, and not really known at all outside of NFL fans and circles. He will never attain the fame that Phelps has right now, and I think he knows it. As a result, CJ decides to take the high road and just hate on Phelps for no real reason whatsoever.

I dont mean to be a hater as well, but from my point of view, if CJ were to ever say, jump into the dog pound again, I hope he would be made to regret that decision.
