Braylon Edwards was suspended from his TV gig with the Big Ten Network after the former Michigan receiver took some what Iโm 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 โweakโ, the offensive line in general as โweakโ, the offense being โpredictableโ, Shea (Patterson) being โscaredโ and Michigan football as โtrashโ. Edwards also questioned any hope for an improvement with the running back and quarterback positions.
In response BTN suspended Edwards โindefinitelyโ for violating the Networkโs โsocial media policyโ.

Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh also responded saying โFirst of all, itโs not true, factually. Thereโs 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 itโs early but Michigan scored one touchdown on offense Saturday night in South Bend and if it wasnโt for that kickoff return for a touchdown the final score would have looked much more lopsided than it did.
