Braylon Edwards told The Detroit News that his original tweet criticizing Michigan on Saturday night was “excessive” and it was a mistake to call out players by name, but said he stands by his message.

He went into further details in an interview with The Detroit News, including that he was drinking when he posted his original tweets, which were later deleted.
He said former Wolverines coach Lloyd Carr “called me out in the media” and he realizes now he shouldn’t have done the same to Ruiz and Patterson.
The lesson learned is, never get too drunk and sound off on your former team on Twitter. It may just cost you your job.
