“Just after Hang on Sloopy, blared from the sound system at Cleveland Browns Stadium, Braylon Edwards could be seen making the arm movements that spell O-H-I-O.

”I think the ‘O-H-I-O’ is so much bigger than Ohio State. I was definitely doing it,” he said with a wide grin. ”I told myself, ‘I’m part of Ohio. This is my residence. This is where I play football. This is where I earn my paycheck. This is the city I’ve adopted and has adopted me,’ . . . so I don’t mind doing O-H-I-O. I don’t believe it’s just pertains to Ohio State. Cleveland is in Ohio. That’s my statement. I can live with that.”

It would seem that Edwards is learning the landscape. When asked if he would be rooting for the New York Yankees in their upcoming American League Divisional Series that begins Thursday, he would only say: ”Go, Tribe!”

This may not change anyone’s view of him or his in-game play, and I’m clearly a giant sucker for stuff like this, but I’m on Edwards’ bandwagon for the first time ever after that quote.
