Braylon Edwards was suspended from his TV gig with the Big Ten Network after the former Michigan receiver took some what Iโ€™m sure many would agree were some well deserved shots at his alma mater following their loss to Notre Dame on Saturday.

Edwardsโ€™ tweets โ€“ which have since been deleted โ€“ referred to offensive lineman Cesar Ruiz as โ€˜weakโ€™, the offensive line in general as โ€˜weakโ€™, the offense being โ€˜predictableโ€™, Shea (Patterson) being โ€˜scaredโ€™ and Michigan football as โ€˜trashโ€™. Edwards also questioned any hope for an improvement with the running back and quarterback positions.

In response BTN suspended Edwards โ€˜indefinitelyโ€™ for violating the Networkโ€™s โ€˜social media policyโ€™.

Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh also responded saying โ€œFirst of all, itโ€™s not true, factually. Thereโ€™s nobody in our program who thinks those things about any player on our team, let alone the two players he described.โ€

Not that what Edwards said was wrong in any sense. Sure the shots at Ruiz were a little harsh but Michigan is 9-9 in their last 18 games and are shelling out a shit ton of money to Harbaugh who has yet to develop quarterback during his time in Ann Arbor. And yes itโ€™s early but Michigan scored one touchdown on offense Saturday night in South Bend and if it wasnโ€™t for that kickoff return for a touchdown the final score would have looked much more lopsided than it did.
