The implosion continues.  I figured that they'd at least last a few more weeks before the entire team fell apart.

I wonder if he's gonna be out for the Fins' game.  Let's see if he gets suspended for this.

Is it his first time getting arrested for anything?

^^^ Nope, he punched one of Lebron's friends at a club in Cleveland before he left.

Ronnie Brown hasn't been suspended yet.  For doing the same thing in March.  I doubt Edwards gets suspended before Brown does.  They both should be suspended eventually.

^^^ It depends on their individual situations. This could be Brown's first offense. Maybe the league already had Edwards on its substance abuse list. That would mean two strikes and a suspension.

Considering the issues the Jets recently had with that one female reporter, they might, for image purposes, do well to suspend him this upcoming game even if it is not required by the league

He'll play this week.  The suspension will come later, if at all.  They always push this kind of stuff back during the discovery process.

Reports are the Jets are doing that. 

There is a second issue, here:  This didn't happen on Sunday night.  It happened on Monday night -- 5 am he is still awake  and drunk.  Practice is probably at 9 am.  Way worse that eating a cheeseburger on the field when stretching out.   

Keep in mind Rex Ryan attributed the Baltimore loss to a very bad week of practice for the offense, and the Patriots win to a very good week of practice.  Edwards was setting himself up for a very bad week of practice, pulling an all nighter and then showing up drunk.

Must have been a Giants fan!!  Hah!!!

Slowly I see the threads of the Jets getting ready to explode like the seam in fat Rex's shirt.    ;D :D 

Aren't Mondays typically an easy day for NFL teams any way?

Yup, but it ain't Monday, its Tuesday. 

Tuesday is the day teams are usually off in the NFL.  If the team wins in a convincing fashion, sometimes the coach will give them Monday AND Tuesday off.

I keep forgetting NEP is unique.  NEP -- Monday is the day off.   

Two teammates were in vehicle with Braylon Edwards

It was reported earlier today that Jets receiver Braylon Edwards had a passenger in his car when arrested early this morning for DUI.  As it turns out, he had two.  As it also turns out, they play for the Jets.

Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports that tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson and defensive end Vernon Gholston were in the vehicle with Edwards.

It's unknown whether and to what extent they were intoxicated.  In many cases, when the driver of a car is at 0.16 percent blood alcohol concentration, the other folks in the car who aren't driving are even more messed up.

I have no problem with the passengers in the car being drunk.  They were not driving.  They are young guys.  Young guys tend to go out and get drunk every now and then.

Top 2 WR's out for the Jets this week. If we don't win this game something is seriously wrong.

It says they were at a Charity event for Jericho Cotchery.

That seems to be a lot of Jets spin. 

The Charity event was from 6pm to 9 pm.  They were pulled over at 5 am.  They did some partying after the charity event. 

Perhaps they were getting wasted for charity.  Like for every shot they do, a $100 pledge goes towards whatever charity they were supporting.  Maybe they weren't being irresponsible...maybe they were drinking for the less fortunate. ;D

I can think of worse reasons to party.  I'll think about them tonight while I drink safely in my home.

One website has a picture up from the night before where was playing poker with about 4 drinks in front of him

You are a little quick on that one. Edwards is playing.

I will never understand celebrities and athletes getting DUI and DWI. You have more money than you know what to do with, call a taxi, limo, car service anything... it's not like you can't afford it

This does count for regular folk, but for the rich, it makes even less sense to me

In the case of Edwards, it would actually have been completely free. The Jets are part of the Player Protect program, which provides (luxury) transport and security for players -- with the Jets picking up the bill.

According to what i have read on a Jet forum, there is only one reason to be where he was arrested at 5 am --hiring a hooker.  Maybe the Jets charphoring and car service doesn't include transport to illicit activities. 

Shoot...he's got enough money, they'll delivery the hoochie-mamas right to his door.
