Let’s hope Braylon Edwards doesn’t like corned beef. Or potato latkes. Or anything, really, on Zingerman’s Deli menu.

Because it’s hard to imagine him showing his face at the Ann Arbor institution. Or any other place in the Maize-and-Blue universe after what he tweeted Saturday.

It was disgraceful.

And he knows it. Or he wouldn’t have deleted his tweet.

A tweet that speaks to the frustration among some in U-M's fan base, to the consequences of social media — Braylon Edwards was suspended Monday by the Big Ten Network, where he worked as an analyst — to the caustic and uncivil nature of our public discourse.
