Duncan Keith Jersey from laiyongcai92's blog

Former NFL wide receiver Braylon Edwards was suspended from his Big Ten Network job over tweets about Michigan’s football team Alex Killorn Jersey Kids , and now he says he was drinking and tweeting.

Edwards, a former Michigan star who has feuded with Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, tweeted his disapproval of Harbaugh鈥檚 team, particularly center Cesar Ruiz and quarterback Shea Patterson.

鈥淩uiz is weak, line is weak, shea is scared, f鈥搆ing Michigan offense is so predictable Duncan Keith Jersey ,鈥?Edwards wrote at the end of Michigan’s loss to Notre Dame. 鈥淢ichigan football is sadly one thing鈥︹€rash.鈥?/p>

Edwards told the Detroit News that he knows he went overboard but he also thinks the substance of his criticism of the Michigan football program is valid.

鈥淲as the original tweet a little excessive?鈥?Edwards said. 鈥淚 admit I was excessive and emotional and inebriated. Mix those together. But the focus of my tweets remains intact. I stand by that. I was over-excessive Saturday night at 10:29, but I don鈥檛 back down on my overall stance as an alum and a fan. I鈥檝e always defended Michigan. Even this year, I was high on Michigan.鈥?/p>

Edwards has twice been arrested for drunk driving, and both times his blood alcohol level was recorded at 0.16 or higher, twice the legal limit of 0.08. So he acknowledged this isn’t the first time he’s gotten himself in trouble when he was inebriated.

鈥淚鈥檝e been through DUIs. I鈥檝e been through so much, so I don鈥檛 care. I鈥檓 tough. I can eat this. It doesn鈥檛 bother me,” Edwards said. 鈥淭he backlash doesn鈥檛 bother me. But ultimately Authentic Pekka Rinne Jersey Kids , my thing is, we have to address the issue. They鈥檙e 0-17 against ranked teams on the road. You鈥檝e had 40 games in [Harbaugh’s] tenure to figure it out. . . . I鈥檓 a Michigan alum waiting for them to turn the corner.鈥?/p>

Edwards was the third overall pick in the 2005 NFL draft and played eight NFL seasons, making the Pro Bowl in 2007. Harbaugh was the 26th overall pick in the 1987 NFL draft and played 14 NFL seasons, and later coached the 49ers for four years.

Newman, who has played the last three years with the Vikings, has 42 career interceptions to lead all active players in the league. With Xavier Rhodes and Trae Waynes the starters on the outside http://www.officialoilers.com/authentic-adidas-connor-mcdavid-jersey , Newman and Mackensie Alexander remain the primary options to play the slot in the nickel defense. The Vikings also drafted Mike Hughes out of Central Florida in the first round Thursday.

The Vikings exercised the fifth-year contract option on Waynes , too, on a busy Monday.

The NFL announced that practice squad wide receiver Cayleb Jones has been suspended for the first four games of the regular season for violating the performance-enhancing substances policy, the second Vikings player to do so this month. Backup linebacker Kentrell Brothers also got a four-game ban.

Finally, the Vikings signed 17 college free agents, including South Dakota State wide receiver Jake Wieneke, a Minnesota native.

Wieneke Roberto Luongo Jersey , who played at Maple Grove High School, is the sixth Minnesotan on the roster, joining wide receivers Adam Thielen and Brandon Zylstra, guard Tom Compton, punt returner Marcus Sherels and fullback C.J. Ham.
