Interesting for him to keep this since if you remember he said when he was traded that he would no longer donate to Cleveland charities.

I think it's a great gesture.

Props to him.

I think he was raised by 2 good parents and this was a great gesture. I am dumbfounded though, why he keeps saying and doing so many dumb ass things on and off the field.

He hated his life in cleveland. Do you blame him? He's finished what he started. Good for him.

Yes, I do.

He made it a "Michigan vs OSU" thing when ALL he had to do was CATCH THE DAMN FOOTBALL. He would've been embraced by the city ala Steve Everitt, Leroy Hoard, Thom Darden, etc but NO...because he was from Michigan there was supposedly some conspiracy theory that the town was out to get him.

Didn't hear any of the whining about being hated in 2007 when he had his one fluke career year, did we?

Great deed by Edwards. Obviously he didn't do it to win over fans, but I don't understand why someone would call him a POS. although a couple of the posters saying it, is predictable.

Too bad more athletes do not do things like this. And I love that he didn't just write a blank chech to a charity. He used his money to motivate kids. Trully inspiring.

You don't understand, because you are not a real Browns fan, just a passive-agressive Cleveland troll. I won't deny what he did was a great thing, but that doesn't change how I feel about him sorry. LeBron donated money to the boy and girls club with his "decision," I don't see many people making him out to be a good guy. Nice logic fail. Maybe Brayloni s not a POS, but I don't like the guy, and most Browns fans I know despise him as well. I wouldn't expect you to understand that though.

There are plenty of athletes who do great things, but they don't have ESPN/Reilly writing up a feel good story about it. The difference between those athletes and Braylon is most of those athletes aren't cry baby bitches with no accountability. lol at not mentioning who the "couple of posters" were though. Pretty predictable coming from the biggest passive-agressive pussy on this site.

Not impressed, plus $10 says all those kids are black.
Never was a big Braylon fan, but props to the guy for keeping his word here.
And so what if all the kids were black?? More power to them. Truth is, many of black (mostly inner city) kids, start out behind the 8 ball, and not because of anything they ever did or deserved. usually poor choices by their parents/family members , etc. Get them an education and possibly break the cycle; nothing wrong with that.

You can be sure this was orchestarted by his agent as some kind of tax benefit, no way Braylon does this on his own. #1 because he's too stupid #2 because he's too selfish. Go away and stay away from Ohio Edwards.

Only black people complain about being poor and of course its not their fault. It's always someone else s fault. QQ.

I have no problem with black people getting an education, but the fact that affirmative action exists doesn't break the cycle it just reinforces the fact that blacks NEED assistance to be successful. That mentality alone and the fact that most sound like blubbering morons, is why I never hire black people. It has nothing to do with skin color, just reality.

Slightly racist? Do you really have any black friends? And by the way...how's your plan for making "big cash money" working out for you?

Not gonna make it...with 9000 plus posts on a blog site...just sayin...

I don't consider telling the truth about a particular race racism.

And I make plenty of money, don't worry about me.
