For a while it was like Big Ten football game day with Braylon Edwards finding new life with the New York Jets or maybe going back to his life as a star at U of M. It was also Chad Henne, former U of M quarterback, displaying his strong arm going 20 – 26 for 241 yards and 2 TDs for the Dolphins and, finally, it was Ted Ginn Jr. the maligned speedster from Ohio State displaying his ultra speed on a deep pass from Rookie Mark Sanchez.

Burned into my memory are lasting pictures of Braylon Edwards playing for the U of M Wolverines and beating my MSU Spartans. In my memory they beat us about 400 times with Braylon scoring every time. He just had to be great in the NFL, didn’t he?

Tis a sad day for us Michigan State Spartans, as the New York Giants replace a Spartan alum with a Wolverine alum. Yeah, Braylon Edwards was from that school down the road called Michigan. Oh, and while he was at Michigan, he managed to thump my Spartans with regularity.
Braylon will have some pretty big shoes to fill, although the exact size of Plaxico Burress’s shoes are unknown at this time.
The Giants are in win right now mode and think Braylon is just the ticket.
Burress was a key contributor for …read more

Nobody, but nobody was giving the Giants a chance to win this game. It was Monday Night Football and the Giants are surely headed to the Super Bowl, right?
Well, just who is that Nobody guy, because he must have made a ton of dough betting on this game.
