Q&A with Braylon Edwards

by Lisa Zimmerman on August 16th, 2010 at 4:00 pm

I spent a few minutes with Braylon Edwards and tried to ask the questions that I know are on everyone’s mind.

LZ: Who’s your roommate?

BE: Laveranues Coles.

LZ: What’s the best meal you’ve eaten since you’ve been at camp?

BE: Oriental Chicken Salad at Applebees.

LZ: Best moment in practice?

BE: Catch in a two-minute drill. Last year we lost all the time.

LZ: Most annoying player?

BE: Kris Jenkins’ mouth. Bart (Scott) is irritating but I can tolerate that.

LZ: Who has the worst taste in music.

BE: Lance Laury. He plays slow jams when we’re getting ready to go to practice.

LZ: Most important question, what’s the current situation with the beard?

BE: The beard is going good. I’m getting it groomed on Monday before the game. A very small trim to remove some of the split ends. Then I’ll have it washed and blow dried.

LZ: You’re having your beard styled by a professional?

BE: Yes.

LZ: How’s your mother feeling about the beard these days?

BE: She’s OK with it now. She understands that it has its own identity.

    Lisa, How about football? Maybe, next time, you can ask him what his goals are or if he has worked on his hands or if Coles has given him any good advice. What kind of a football fan gives a damn about his beard or what he ate.

      That’s what happens when you mix women and football. (I can’t wait for the responses, lol)

      Dude, that’s not what these Q&As are about. There are a million places to read the players talk about their goals for the season. This is something different. If you don’t like it, don’t read it.

      Dude really? Really you’re going there? We’re all Jets fans here (I think). I’m as die hard as any of you are and I happen to like these Q&A articles. I think it’s fun to hear about who goofs around in the locker room and stuff like that, you get to know the guys better that way.

      On a side note, old stone hands does need to step it up this year lol.

      Lisa gets like 60 seconds with the guys and manages to provide us with an exclusive insight into their character. That’s much more interesting than hearing a stock answer to a question they’ve been asked a thousand times.

      There has been plenty of football reporting in Lisa’s daily reports from camp, so if you’re not interested in this sort of thing, read those instead. I enjoy this series immensely and am hoping for more.

      Supposed to just be an light entertaining break from the other stuff. Sorry you didn’t like it.

    I think I know why we haven’t actually heard from Revis since the hold out started. He’s living in Braylon Edwards’ beard.

    LZ: Why do you insist on dipping your hands in a bucket of butter before each game?
    BE: Uh…. it’s margarine actually.

  4. I’m still waiting for Lisa to ask Cory Reamer about his missing chunk of ear.

    I how it happened, but I want to hear it from him :)

  5. why do people get so up in arms over facial hair…grow up children.

  6. avatar BOB says:

    HE,S LIKES THE BEARD BECUASE HE,S GETTING ALOT OF ATTENTION WITH IT…

    This is much better than some generic Q&A .. Or would people rather see

    LZ: how’s the catching coming along

    BE: it’s coming along well, I practice a lot during practice

    Lol.. Na I’m good, keep up the food work Lisa ..
    I am now a Laury fan also ..

    Seriously, how do you put a chinstrap over that forest?

  9. avatar Bilal says:

    Ramble- lol glad you took it there!

  10. avatar azjetfan says:

    Good work, lisa…I was wondering about the chin strap over the beard also…

    When did it become cool to hate on women..? You dont have a mom? My mom loves football…

    GO JETS!

      I agree, you don’t need to like every TJB post but you also don’t need to bring a sexist angle into it. You don’t like the material or you don’t like that a woman wrote it? Both? Get out of here.

    Can’t wait to hear sillier questions at media week right before the superbowl. J-E-T-S

  12. avatar Broadway12 says:

    There are a lot of articles on here that tackle the game of football(no pun intended) If one out of 100 is not to your liking there’s no need to make a big deal about it
