Braylon Edwards' Punishment Didn't Come Close to Fitting Crime

Filed under:



The Jets won a big game Sunday night, but you have to wonder how owner Woody Johnson felt on the flight home from Miami.

Was there even a slight tinge of embarrassment over how they did it? Did Johnson think of his late daughter and wonder if she'd approve of the way he disciplines his work force?

The Employee of the Day was Braylon Edwards, who five days earlier was arrested for DWI. He blew a .16 on the Breathalyzer, twice the legal limit. Then he blew past the Dolphins for a 67-yard touchdown.

So was it worth all the finger-wagging the team has received?

Heck yes, according to Jets fans. The rest of us are almost too depressed to respond.

In a Just World, Edwards would have dropped the winning pass. Then to confirm karma exists, Rex Ryan would have developed a severe case of laryngitis and Antonio Cromartie's zipper would have gotten permanently stuck in the up position.

Look where they are, though, leading the AFC East thanks to Edwards. To be fair, he was held out the entire first quarter. And he did show up with his bushy beard pared down to a neat goatee.

Whoopee.
