CLEVELandMILIDH Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Edwards keeping pledge to cover students' college tuitionAssociated Press NEW YORK -- Braylon Edwards has made good on a promise he made a few years ago by sending 100 Cleveland-area students to college. The New York Jets wide receiver tweeted Thursday that "as the 2nd most hated man in Clev & a man of my word," he was honoring his commitment to pay for the students' college tuitions if they reached certain academic goals. Edwards is giving about $1 million to the students from the ADVANCE 100 program, established by the receiver's foundation while he played for the Cleveland Browns. "Guys, enjoy and embrace your new beginnings," Edwards tweeted, "and remember your promise to me, to reach back & help someone else along the way." Edwards is scheduled to be a free agent, but he repeatedly has said he wants to stay with the Jets.

NewOldDawg Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 1 million eh? That's about 10,000 for each ball he dropped during the 2008 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 that "as the 2nd most hated man in Clev & a man of my word," he was honoring his commitment to pay for the students' college tuitions if they reached certain academic goals. As usual though, even when he is doing good he overpromotes himself. He doesn't come close to being the 2d most hated guy in Cleveland. You can put him well behind Modell and LeBron and Boozer and Elway and Belichick and many others. What he was is one of the biggest disappointments because he didn't play up to his capability despite thumping his own chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
