Real Braylons Do Real Things: Like Modeling, Acting, And Such

↵Today’s links:

↵Jon’s take on Kiss Cams was great.
↵↵Finally, in honor of his unfortunate misstep last night, Sports Illustrated had to go and dredge up an old feature on our man Braylon. It included this quote:

↵↵Turning his car into the mall parking lot, he slides in a CD of his favorite pregame track, Jay-Z’s “Real Niggaz”, and starts rapping along: On the road to riches and diamond rings, real niggaz do real things.

↵Edwards shuts down the engine. “Real niggaz do real things,” he says. “What I do matters, not what I say. I began coming to every meeting early, every workout early, every practice. Nobody practiced harder. Real things.”

↵↵And... Well, that speaks for itself. But at least one NFL player dissents (via the L.A. Times):

↵↵“Last year ... Braylon Edwards asked me between plays if we could talk after the game about modeling and acting.”

↵↵SO, SO REAL.
