Braylon Edwards finally showed up on the field for the Jets’ crucial win Sunday over the Patriots, also showed up in headlines early Tuesday morning.
Edwards, was pulled over in his Range Rover in New York City around 5:15 am this morning for a routine traffic stop, due to having his windows tinted too dark.
At that point, Braylon’s Beard started to show signs of intoxication according to NYC Police, and he was asked to take a Breathalyzer test. Edwards’ and his beard obliged, “it” blew a .16 – which is double the legal limit of .08.
Braylon Edwards was arrested at that point, and taken to the NY District Prison in Manhattan. It doesn’t seem like Edwards spent much time there, as per his twitter account roughly 3 hours later: “GoodMorning World…Winning is the goal, perfection is the aspiration, & dedication is the key to unlock the door #LetsWork.”
It’s clear that Braylon, and his superiors have differing opinions on what dedication is – The Jets expressed their disappointment in the receiver in a statement from general manager Mike Tannenbaum on Tuesday. “We are very disappointed in Braylon’s actions this morning. The Player Protect program is in place for our organization to prevent this situation. Braylon is aware of this program and showed poor judgment. We are reviewing the information with the league and will impose the appropriate disciplinary measures.”
It’s not clear where Braylon, and his beard were coming from early Tuesday morning. Rumors have surfaced that after executing “The Dougie” so poorly in his post touchdown celebration he, and guard Brandon Moore were fine tuning the dance at a Manhattan night club in preparation for Sunday Nights Nationally Televised game against the Miami Dolphins.
No punishment or fines have been handed down by either the NFL, or the Jets at this point. Expect judgment on Edwards disciplinary actions prior to Sunday Nights game.
