Braylon Edwards struts at the ESPY’s like a peacock
Happy Friday everyone. I figured I’d get things cooking today by presenting you with an ESPY’s spoiler. Calm down, I won’t ruin what Justin Timberlake or Howie Schwab wore Wednesday night for you. Instead, I will present to you the glory that is Braylon Edwards.
Let’s face it, I don’t think there is another male in the entire state of Ohio who can possibly pull off the untied diamond-studded bow-tie look… (let alone afford one) while apparently sober! Really, the only comparison to this look I can possibly come up with is the guy from the 80’s ZZ Top video for “Sharp Dressed Man” except for one difference…Braylon caught 16 TD’s last year while the geeky white guy in the video gave up a rough average of 16 TD’s a day while trying to cover his man in gym class in middle school. Not that we’re suppressing bad memories or anything here.
Which reminds me, seeing Braylon so dressed up reminds me of my time in California a few years back. There was nothing weirder than going out on a Thursday night to a bar in Orange County that is comparable to Johnny Malloy’s and seeing every girl dressed up and acting as if she anticipates being discovered by Quentin Tarantino for a future role or something. It was even funnier because they kept to themselves (while blowing guys like me off, of course) while looking around the bar the whole night just in case “somebody important” came walking through. Oh, and this wasn’t even the Orange Country you may have seen on MTV. This was Fullerton, which is and inland dump that is basically Parma with more sun. OK, maybe I’m a little bit bitter here.
Make no mistake, Braylon is a man with a plan, and has the look to support his aspirations for a career in Hollywood to go along with his pro football career…which thankfully has him light years ahead of those chicks mentioned above. Hey, why not, I’d rather see one of our own like Braylon or LeBron go there. It’s even better for the Browns and their fans that Braylon is fully aware that this game is what gets his foot in the door.
I just wonder if I can pull off a look like that at my family BBQ/Buffalo Wild Wings doubleheader this Saturday…

LOL…..
I wonder if Braylon will look back on these pictures someday and wonder “what the hell was I thinking ?”
I like to think that I’m a stylish and attractive enough woman and I DO NOT find it appealing in the least when men dress like they are performing for Cirque de Soleil in Vegas. You can’t even call it “gay” because gay men even have better style than that.
Regardless, he can dress like a clown all he wants as long as he produces for the Browns. To me, that’s all that matters.
Amen.

Braylon – how very Will Smith of you. Just catch the ball and leave the stylin’ to the Fresh Prince. Seriously, Braylon is good in the community and really starting to become what we all thought he could be on the field. Have at it, Dude! For the record, Will Smith is cool, too-

I agree…and considering how well he plays, he can keep wearing whatever he wants for all I care. I was just having fun for a Friday post…

[...] Edwards had a breakout in Cleveland season last year but even his huge numbers could not justify what he was wearing. Not to get all Joan Rivers on you, but he looked like his stylist confused the BET Awards with [...]
