On Monday, former Browns receiver Braylon Edwards teed off on Cleveland with a misguided rant that resulted in the player who can’t consistently catch footballs catching a lot of flak.
On Tuesday, a man who was Edwards’ teammate for one offseason and one full-squad training-camp practice responded.
“Braylon Edwards back bashing Cleveland,” LeCharles Bentley said on his Twitter page. “Nothing that comes out of his mouth or goes into [it] surprises me: decode @ your own discretion!”
Um. Um. Is Bentley saying what we think he’s saying?
Some of you may wonder why Bentley, who recently sued the Browns, would attack Braylon. Well, Bentley currently has a sports radio show in Cleveland, so even if he has a legal issue with the team, he has an interest in defending the city. Also, Bentley’s case ultimately will be resolved by a jury composed of Cuyahoga County residents; thus, it’s in his interests to go to bat for Cleveland. In a couple of years of so, he could be hoping for a dozen or so of them to go to bat for him.
