I've always liked Braylon Edwards and been a fan of his since his days at the University of Michigan, so this just adds to that for me.
We all know that many of us either “mind our own business” (like me) or “just stand here and record while someone gets killed” like many of the bastards here. We live in a world where either is, but Braylon?
My boyfriend did something unusual in 2024 and became a real hero.
Respectfully, Braylon. respect.
