It's always best to start at 1

Mid-air stop and frisk!Braylon Edwards has gotten all generous on us, "endowing a scholarship honoring the No. 1 jersey he wore for Michigan. It will provide support to future student/athletes wearing the No. 1 football jersey."

It's also nice to see Braylon invite the not-quite-as-famous No. 16 to his little shindig: "Edwards and [Anthony] Carter, the Wolverines great, will introduce the gift during an April 14 reception at the Junge Family Champions Center in Ann Arbor. U-M coach Lloyd Carr and former players John Wangler and John Navarre also are expected to attend." Considering all of the criticism that many fans (including myself) lobbed at Navarre for his QB skills (or lack thereof), and at Edwards for his ego and/or dropped passes at inconvenient times (read: the first series of the 2004 Rose Bowl vs. USC), it is refreshing to see that these guys still care about Michigan just as much as any of us "normal folk" claim to.

Check out the official "Braylon Edwards Foundation" website right here, which includes a few decent video clips of Braylon and Anthony Carter.

Somewhere in south Florida, Tyrone Butterfield is on the phone trying to figure out if this scholarship is retroactive.
