The Brighter Side...

Sports blogs tend to focus on the negative stories in the sports world. This story is different.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver, Braylon Edwards, has pledged $1 million this year to Cleveland's public schools for 100 scholarships for children. The kids may not have otherwise been able to attend college.

Last year he also donated $500,000 to his former college, Michigan, the largest ever made by a former athlete at the school.

It is a shame more stories like this are not pushed out by the media, instead of all the arrests and scandals that we all love to read about. In this time when some people look at athletes as spoiled brats, it is important for the world to know there is good in sports.

Every sports team has an athlete like Edwards making a difference in the community and it is always fun to read about.

Here is to those athletes. Cheers.
