Edwards can catch a pass, and he can throw a party

Browns rookie receiver Braylon Edwards has yet to catch a touchdown pass in the NFL, but the first-round pick already can throw a party like an established All-Pro.

Folks still are buzzing over a swanky party held Friday in a Detroit hotel by Edwards, a for mer University of Michigan star, to celebrate reaching the NFL. Among the 400-plus guests: quarterback and fellow Browns rookie Charlie Frye, Detroit Pistons stars Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamil ton, Michigan linebacker (and former Glenville High standout) Pierre Woods, actress Meagan Good and assorted other pro players and rappers.

While dining on fine food (one invitee ranked the grub at Edwards' bash among the best he's had at an athlete's party), partygoers could view highlights of Edwards' Michigan career on huge TV screens. Or they could tour a display of Edwards' various football jerseys - starting from his Pee-wee football days.

I'm a browns fan and was happy with the selection, but god damn, the ego on this guy.

Before he even got drafted, Edwards bought a Bentley....

He should get a long great with Winslow. Maybe they can go riding together.

Well, when you have a system that pays guys that much before ever putting on a jersey, this is what you get. If I got made by the NFL like that, I'd throw a huge ass party too. Bring me your finest meats and cheeses!

There's a difference between throwing extremely expensive parties... and doing so where the focus is on praising yourself the whole time. Whatever happened to thinking you were all that because you were throwing a sweet party? Maybe next time around he can actually have people sign up to worship a 20 foot statue of himself.

I wonder if those highlights included this big play ...
