    Classy guy, even for a michigan alum.
  • Commander of Awesome
    I dont think he's classy at all, but I'll give credit where its due.

    "..."I'm supposed to give people a chance like I was given a chance," Edwards said.

    Edwards hasn't played for the Browns in two years. He's a member of the San Francisco 49ers this season and is earning a $1 million base salary for the year, just about what he'll pay the those 79 students he promised to help years ago."

    Pretty cool.

    He's made millions of dollars in his career. It'd be the equivalent of the average person giving like $500 out of his pocket.

    Not impressed, plus $10 says all those kids are black.

    Exactly. Can't stand Edwards. He's a douchebag but once he left the city he had no obligation to make good on that.

    Most athletes would've welched, like welching on a free Ipad, but he kept his word. That's what is impressive to me, not the amount.

    Looks to me like someone is butt hurt at being overlooked for one of Braylon's scholarships. How can anyone not be impressed with him keeping his word to youth of Cleveland.

    Not sure what "anything athletes" are but it looks like spending 10 years in College really paid off for you.

    I know you struggle with reading comprehension but the thread and the link are about what he did this year and keeping his word not while he was there in Cleveland. Not surprised it went over your head though. Way to stay on topic/fail though.

    He is still a POS in my eyes. You probably think Jerry Sandusky is a good guy too, because he started a foundation for underprivileged kids. Nice logic fail.

    Props to the Michigan alum

    Sandusky could have been a good guy but you are better off asking DeyDurkie about him since he likes to shower with him.

    This.

    If people are starting to say they enjoy capone's posts over your own posts, then you probably should revaluate yourself.
