That's pretty cool

SmootSmack 12-21-2011 10:32 PM

He did something similar last year didn't he?

Wonder if he stays in SF?

This is a great way to give back to the community.

A one-man scholarship fund. Praiseworthy.

Great gesture on his behalf at $790,000K, better than losing that money on smoking weed like someone we know.

Lol this must have been the inspiration for that episode of The Office. Except this time around the ending was a lot better.

[QUOTE]In the episode, Michael and Erin meet "Scott's Tots", a group of local teenagers whose college tuition was promised in one of Michael's grand delusions ten years prior. Meanwhile, in Michael's absence, Jim starts an employee-of-the-month program to boost morale, which Dwight sabotages.

I should be seeing this on the ESPN crawler....BUT No drug bust....didn't shoot himself in a bar.....
NO coverage
Good on him for doing a GREAT thing!
Note: Since his departure from the mother ship, a certain former devotee will not be forced to defend his boys from my media...assault.

Story's been run on ESPN multiple times since the weekend. Maybe you missed it

Awesome story, seems to be a good guy. Would you guys give him a contract next year because he would be cheap and experienced? Id take him over Stallworth or someone like that.

Washington Post ran a 3 part story this weekend about how Abe Pollin did something similar for kids at an elementary school in Suitland many years ago. Unfortunately, the results weren't entirely promising

Better than giving back to the community than Chad Ochocinco....

Impressive. This is an example of someone who gets it. Lots of respect for Braylon Edwards.

Re: Give it up for Braylon Edwards
 
That has to be one hell of a tax break. Other players are spending money on stupid pieces of jewelry, champagne, and god knows what else. I just hope that Braylon stays financially successful after this in part so it proves that other players can do this without going bankrupt, and of course because it's such an amazing gesture.

True that and I agree!

Released by the 49ers.

Re: Give it up for Braylon Edwards
 
Maybe we should take a look. At least for next season. He has been injured but he was good with the jets and we seem to have luck getting ex jets

Re: Give it up for Braylon Edwards
 
I will take a pass on Edwards because of the injury. I hope we draft a niced sized WR to complement Hankerson.

Agree. We are already gonna have Colston on the squad, why add another WR with knee issues?

I doubt Colston is coming here. It would be career suicide.

Guess he could use one of his scholarships to go back to college now...


[but truly a great story, rare to have a person keep his word on this sort of thing.]
