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.
Florio.. I continue to admire you relentless ability to speculate and then write reports based on it.
if I had a dollar for every time that happened…
the other folks in the car who aren’t driving are even more messed up.
________
And coked up. Guaranteed.
Vernon was just tryin to make a play !
they must have figured that of the 3 he was the less drunk?
And now, we all discover why D’Brick has been inconsistent, and Gholston has always been crap… real athletes cannot be booze hounds.
There’s a pattern developing here. Call him a prude if you want, but when Tony Dungy called out Rex Ryan for his foul language, he was pointing to the lack of class being projected by a leader in the Jets organization. And now, that lack of class is showing itself amongst the players. The ugly Revis holdout and all the rumors. The incident with the reporter. And now, Braylon Edwards. Reminds me too much of the Mike Tice years in Minnesota — lots of talented players, and a coach considered a rising star in the game planning department, but whose team fell apart at the seams because of stupid off the field controversies that never should have happened. It’s apparent too many of those players don’t place the image and well being of the team over themselves, and the results are showing.
3 first round busts get busted!
“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.”
Sloppy speculation on Florio’s part.

====================
And in many cases they’re not.Either way, you have absolutely no evidence that they were or weren’t. And frankly, it’s not relevant
They’re both of legal age, right? Tuesday is an off day for NFL players, right? So what, exactly, would they be doing wrong if they were drunk?
These fools are lucky to be alive.
You mean to tell me these three millionaire rocket scientists couldn’t pool their substantial salaries and sprung for a cab. Astonishing!
Typical J-E-T-S, Stoopid, Stoopid, Stoopid!!!
look at this three posts today when something bad happens but when we win …nothing….this site is a bunch of bull
What a bunch of idiots. The Jets have spent what, $100,000,000.00 or so on payroll this year? Forget for a moment that he could have killed an innocent person or two (or more). What if they wrecked and took out all three for the year? Sheesh. Personally, I’ve been in a bar maybe ten times in the last five years, each time to go in and drag out a drunken friend and drive them home. That’s where I do my drinking, HOME. Don’t these clowns make enough to feed their families And call a cab?
Got to wonder how many Jets were hiding in the trunk?
wow…this is what you get when discipline is not even a remote priority on a team. If I were Ryan, I would bench all three for part of the game. There are a lot of “me, not team” guys on the Jets. 3 guys out at 5:00A.M. and their collective IQs were not capable of figuring out they needed a different way home. Were the Jets off today, or were these three dirtbags planning on showing up for work smashed? ZERO DISCIPLINE, ZERO TEAMWORK. Rex needs to fix this team or it will get worse as the season moves along
Braylon is just living that “Hard Knock” life.
The HARD KNOCKS keep coming. The atmosphere created by Rex Ryan is wreaking havoc throughout the Jets Team. Nothing ever good happens after 12am, ask Plex
The possibilities to RIP these sorry ass players is endless…LOL…
What a trio of dumbass losers…
Wow just wow, maybe the Jets should call Marvin Harrison for his gun and just shoot themselves in the feet.
Those two players won’t get any legal action but in many ways they are just as much to blame from the team standpoint.
I make like 70k a year and call a cab when I’m drunk downtown. If I was a millionaire I’d have a chauffer that I paid to drive an awesome car in really awesome ways while I sit shotty drinking expensive booze that I just throw into some ridiculously elaborate trap door if we get pulled over.
Seriously. If any of these players wants to hire me to teach them how to not be stupid they can have me for 80k a year.
These guys are even bigger Idiots then Edwards. I mean to KNOWINGLY let a guy who is HAMMERED drive a car. But trust me, no matter what the Jets say publically, Ole Rexy will be Honoring these fools come tomorrow.
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 dont know if thats true mike, im my circle we let the guy with the most priors drive. Why mess up a squeaky clean image
“In many cases..”? Well, that’s a tad irresponsible, even for this site.
“the other folks in the car who aren’t driving are even more messed up.”
Probably true, but assuming so in print without anything more than circumstantial evidence is quite sensational, if not irresponsible.
making up whatever u want to hear florio i wouldnt be surprised if gholston and dabrickashaw had less to drink than edwards u need to back up ur statements with facts
Once again the Michigan man was the bright one of the bunch
Hmmmmm…..I thought D’Brick was a bible thumper??? Interesting.
Who cares if they were intoxicated? Last I checked, it was legal for adults to drink alcohol and ride as passengers in a vehicle.
Haha dumb asses.. can’t wait to cream them Sunday night
Stay classy, Newark.
Leave them alone. They just won the SuperBowl!
MORE SUSPENSIONS!! WAHOOOO!!!
Don’t stop Florio!! Keep ‘em coming!
More Jests posts!
Rename this site: Jets Talk.com
Wait does the ghost even count as another passenger ?
It’s Gholston’s fault Braylon, he’s a Buckeye!
Those two teammates should be suspended for letting him drive. Don’t these guys make enough money to get a limo?!?!

Maybe you should wait for facts before posting things like this
Dumb and Dumber?
They should start taping Hard Knocks-Regular Season.
I guess the show continues.
Your speculation knows no limits…
I don’t see how the jets could survive if Gholston gets a suspension
J-E-T-S! DRUNK! DRUNK! DRUNK!!!! Does this surprise anyone from a CLASSLESS,and winless organization,lead by a fat obnoxious moron?? C’mon sexy Rexy,C’mon down south for your annual asswhippin!! Bart Scott,you have a target on you and his name is LOUSAKA POLITE!! Remember he parked you in the cheap seats last year. Get ready!!!
He could be headed back to Cleveland.
…for violating his parole. He is still on probation for that scuffle he got into with Lebron James’ pint-sized friend.
Congrats on going back to jail Braylon. You’re a true New York wide receiver now!
Cut them some slack. What most people call alcohol these guys just look at as “Jet fuel”
Can you start treating the Jet’s like you do Cincinnati now that they’re obviously paying for signing known trouble makers.
“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.”
Gee, it took a whole lot of effort to make that assumption. If this were ESPN, you would get a “COME ON MAN!”
I’m so glad this is happening to a Rex Ryan coached team, keep piling on the bad news it’s getting awesome to watch the train wreck.
Braylon,
1st off, you were a TERRIBLE fantasy pick-up. What was I thinking? Zero points in week 1, really? Zero?
2nd, those yellow things all around Manhattan are called Cabs and they’ll take you places you want to go for a small fee.
So 3 people in the car could’ve sprung for a cab or limo ride, and failed to do so. Not a sensible thought to be found among them.
Vernon Gholston was celebrating his 1st tackle since joining the league
great teammates.
go jets
I can’t believe that these Jets Players lack discipline when their head coach is the pure embodiment of self discipline, himself.
They don’t make enough money to take a cab or hire a car….dumb!
So you mean he had one team mate and the waterboy,
Three, actually. They found Santonio Holmes trying to smoke the tailpipe.
If I were a Jet fan I would be LIVID that the franchise Left Tackle was in a car with a drunk driver…
I would lose my shiz as the owner of the Jets if three of my players were out cruising the streets drunk. Nothing like having millions of your invested dollars sunk into three soaks getting hammered on a Monday night.
Two words….limousine service. Stupid, stupid athletes.
Getting drunk isn’t a crime. Getting drunk and driving is!
“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.”
Oh come on Florio, I’m sure those two are responsible members of society that were completely clueless as to Braylon’s level of intoxication!
They were trying to get to Santonio Holmes’s crib for a “weed party”
They were trying to get to Santonio Holmes’s crib for a “weed party”
3 First round busts, I mean picks, in the car and they can’t afford a cab? WTF…
hahahaha! .16 is loaded. and some think this team is in contention. bench him for the rest of the year and go sign “the sichuwayshun” from dancing with the stars to play wideout.

————————————————————
I assume you can provide empirical data to support such a potentially libelous statement?
No wonder there wasn’t any collisions with a drunk driver behind the wheel. Vernon Gholston was in the car…
Was that reporter chic with them too?
Now it seems like they were the 3 stooges, leave all of them in New Jersey for the next road trip, I am sure Miami won’t miss them. Bill
Gholston is claiming an assist on the arrest.
As a Jets fan I have to say: WHY WASN”T GHOLSTON DRIVING?
He was just trying to show them he could drive “like a Jet”
Did you hear the breaking news?
Braylon actually tried to catch a few cabs, but after several drops he conceded and they all hopped into his car!
Or maybe they weren’t as messed up and didn’t wanna DUI so they talked ole chugsy ugsy into doing the ole glug glug vroom vroom.
the PETS are going no where
This is very similar to the Chris Henry incident of ’06. He was loaded driving Odell Thurman and Reggie McNeal.
A motley crew.
So there two other players in the car.
That makes it three times as stupid.
However… The point should be…
There were probably 100 people in cars coming from the other direction at a combined 90 MPH… 7 feet 3 inches left of his double vision.
vernon gholston has to be innocent. he probably wasn’t doing sh!t
