Here's The Tweet That Just Got A Big Ten Network Analyst Suspended Indefinitely

 Over Labor Day weekend, a tweet ripping Michigan football players resulted in Big Ten Network analyst Braylon Edwards' indefinite suspension.

The network determined that Edwards violated the network's social media guidelines when he unloaded on his former team after it lost to Notre Dame 24-17 Saturday. In a series of tweets, Edwards slammed the "trash" program, at one point criticizing specific players.

"Ruiz is weak, line is weak, [S]hea is scared," he tweeted, referencing offensive lineman Cesar Ruiz and quarterback Shea Patterson, "f***ing Michigan offense is so predictable ... Michigan football is sadly one thing ... Trash."

Here's a screenshot of the since-deleted tweets (via Awful Announcing):

 Edwards, an All-America wide receiver at Michigan who was drafted in 2005 by the Cleveland Browns and played in the league for eight seasons, was notified of his suspension on Sunday. Though he has since deleted the problematic tweets, Edwards left this one:

 Edwards also issued an apology for his tweets Monday. "I would like to address the tweet from this past Saturday," he wrote. "I should not have attacked Ruiz and Patterson that hard or period individually. I apologize as a former student athlete and NCAA analyst. With that being said UM football still needs to step up so no apologies there."

At a press conference Monday, Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh defended his players and said that Michigan critics should "come after" him, "not our youngsters."

"There's nobody in our program who thinks those things about any player on our team, let alone the two players that he described," Harbaugh said, ESPN reports. "On the other level, it's disappointing that a member of the Big Ten Network would choose to attack the character of two of our players. That's disappointing. And, I would say that if somebody wants to attack the character of anybody on the ballclub, come after me, not our youngsters."
