08:04 AM ET 11.11 | Braylon Edwards is ready for the boos to rain down in Cleveland Sunday. "I think the boos will be serious," Edwards said. "I think everybody will be against me." Edwards, of course, was traded by Eric Mangini shortly after an altercation with a member of LeBron James' entourage outside a bar. ... In hindsight, Edwards maintains he was pleased when he received the news from Mangini that he was traded. "I just couldn't show how excited I was at the time," Edwards said Wednesday. "I thought it'd be unprofessional to do a dance in his office ... When he told me that, I couldn't get out of Berea (Ohio) fast enough."

Edwards said [Wednesday]. "I thought it'd be unprofessional to do a dance in his office"

Why not? Cleveland fans did a dance when this was announced too.

That picture is hurting my eyes. Is it that bad, or do I need an eye exam?

Could the interns not have found something a little better? I know how taxing it is to do this work, but, hey, soldier on.

Let the booing begin: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I think that photo most exemplifies, what's this guy's name?... Oh yeah. Braylon Edward's career. Sort of fuzzy and unclear.

Hey Edwards, you should be in jail. I heard you only blew a 1.0 when with the DUI but the cop tacked on an extra .6 for taunting!! Does that mess with your probation with the fight in Cleveland? Once a jerk, always a jerk.

I'm not really sure, but I think any and all NY athletes get a mulligan on Ohio law. But he is still a jerk.

hahahahahaha - h3ll yeah!
I think Edwards seems to forget his pro-bowl season was in Cleveland...
When he has a game winning Super bowl catch, he can talk all the smack he wants, but until then he can go about his business dropping passes in NY

It pains me that Braylon is still considered a top tier receiver. The guy drops far too many crucial catches for that title. Always has.

November 11, 2010  08:48 AM ET

Why boo Braylon? He's an afterthought, now worth the Browns fans' time or effort. Now, he can just catch the d*mn ball, then he may get some attitude from the fans.

Please please please call some shallow crossing routes for number 17, Coach Schottenheimer.

It also applies to his driving skills after 12 shots of Patron.

You just stop now. Everybody is against the poor fella. he went to Michigan you know and he gets booed because of that. So he's maybe dropped one or 1200 passes when it counted. He's good you know. And once in a while (daily?) he drives drunk. So? Just leave him alone. And Lord, don't boo. He loves it!

November 11, 2010  09:19 AM ET

The reason the picture is fuzzy and unclear is that it appears that Edwards has control of the ball. Probably photoshopped.

I think he will hear some cheering. Soon as he shows the Cleveland faithful he has yet to learn how to catch. On a side note it was LeKings entourage responsible for him leaving Ohio. Then a few years later LeKing leaves. Maybe LeKing was bred by the gov't to systematically destroy Cleveland area sports franchises.
