Braylon Edwards, recently flagged for piling on sports bloggers, now has a new target: Rich Rodriguez.The receiver, who wore the No. 1 at Michigan, endowed a $500,000 scholarship for the Wolverine player who wears No. 1. That jersey number has been given to a receiver since 1979.
But as part of the changing culture of Michigan football, Rich Rod reportedly has given that number to freshman defensive back J.T. Floyd. When asked about this by ESPN Radio's Mike Tirico, a somewhat annoyed Edwards let it fly.
"I'm glad you gave me a 'Go Blue' question, because Rich Rod gave the No. 1 jersey to an incoming freshman DB. The No. 1 jersey has never been worn by anybody outside of a wide receiver — it dates back to Anthony Carter, so I'm going to have a talk with [Rodriguez] about that next time I see him. But outside of that, he's been doing a great job.
"He's getting that call soon, very soon. We have a jersey scholarship fund for this whole deal. What is he thinking?"

I'm with Braylon on this and hope Coach re-considers and then goes out and beats Ohio State
I think that Braylon will be ok with the tradition of losing to Ohio State though. Rich Rod will make sure to keep that tradition going.
rich rods a flaming homo
Coach Con Man.
Way to go Edwards - a $500,000 scholarship endowment for a football player that will most likely have a full ride to play at Michigan. Genius. Way to give to the needy.
Easy does it on 'giving to the needy' comment. Edwards has pledged $1 million to 10 inner city seniors in Cleveland to pay for college.
We all know he's not a "Michigan Man", but why does RR have to keep proving it over and over again? I want to welcome him... but he's making it difficult.
Dang! You don't s'pose them hillbillies was right about RR, do ye?
RR isn't a big "traditions" guy. He's just another in a long line of Nick Saban wannabees. Good luck with this loser.
