This just in: Braylon Edwards' jersey has been kicked out of News-Herald Staff Writer Nick Carrabine’s closet.

Sources close to the situation say there was a scuffle between the Edwards jersey and the LeBron James jersey which rests on a hanger two shirts over. No word on whether or not the Grady Sizemore jersey tried to play peacemaker between the two.

Rumors are swirling that the Edwards jersey was jealous that the James authentic old-school white and blue jersey was getting more attention in the closet.

The Edwards jersey has since been placed into a garbage can in Carrabine’s garage.

The garbage can, has a similar resemblance to Braylon Edwards himself.

Ever since receiving the Edwards jersey as a gift in August of 2008, it has been nothing but trouble.

The jersey was once the cause of a man yelling at Carrabine at Mick’s Pub & Grill in Willoughby during a Browns game during the 2008 season, where a man kept yelling “Hey 1-7, take a seat.” (that man was later kicked out. It’s not Carrabine’s fault he’s 6’1”)

It also caused extreme amounts of embarrassment and often times, the jersey was ripped off and left for dead on the ground at various establishments.

“If I would have known the Edwards jersey had problems with the LeBron jersey, I would have left the Edwards jersey on the ground after ripping it off in embarrassment at whatever place I was at,” Carrabine said Tuesday morning.

Carrabine also mentioned various occasions where he was verbally abused and hit with food by others while wearing the jersey.

No word on whether or not the Edwards jersey will be replaced with another Browns jersey, seeing as only a buffoon would spend money on this team right now.

Also no word on whether or not Carrabine is a buffoon, although sources suggest he is.

Stay tuned.
