Braylon Edwards Accused of Assault, Being Jealous of LeBron James!!!

The downward spiral of wide receiver Braylon Edwards' career in Cleveland continues, both on and off the field. Edwards had no receptions in the Browns' overtime loss to Cincinnati -- the first time he'd been held without a catch in his five-year NFL career. And then, several hours after the game ended, Edwards was reportedly involved in an incident at a Cleveland nightclub that could result in the former University of Michigan star being charged with assault.

"I've never crossed paths with Braylon before, but it seems like there's a little jealousy going on with Braylon and me and my friends. I have no idea why," James said to the Associated Press. "I've never said anything to Braylon at all. But for him to do that is very childish. My friend is 130 pounds. Seriously. It's like hitting one of my kids. It doesn't make
