Braylon Edwards suspended by Big Ten Network after critical tweet

The Big Ten Network announced Monday that analyst Braylon Edwards will be suspended indefinitely for violating the network's social media guidelines. Edwards tweeted, then deleted, harsh criticism of Michigan's football team Saturday night after the Wolverines lost 24-17 to Notre Dame.

Edwards, a former All-America wide receiver at Michigan, criticized offensive lineman Cesar Ruiz, calling him "weak," and said Michigan quarterback Shea Patterson is "scared." He went on to tweet, "f---ing Michigan offense so predictable ... Michigan football is sadly one thing ... Trash."

Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh responded to the tweet at his Monday press conference by saying the tweet is not true, not factual and that message did not come from anybody inside the program.
