A day after Santonio Holmes (http://www.newsday.com/topics/Santonio_Holmes) talked almost wistfully about returning to face his old Steelers team, even confiding that he keeps in touch with many of his former teammates, another Jets receiver offered a decidedly less flattering view of playing in the Steel City.
"I hate Pittsburgh," Braylon Edwards (http://www.newsday.com/topics/Braylon_Edwards) told Newsday in the Jets' locker room Thursday. "It's cold. Terrible field. It's not fun in any regard. There's nothing about Pittsburgh that I like."
Boom!
Sure, Holmes is anxious to show the Steelers they made a mistake in trading him to the Jets - "It's definitely time to show these guys, 'Why let me go?' '' he said, predicting a punt-return touchdown if given the opportunity - but Edwards has nothing but contempt for the place that produced so many bad memories from his days with the Browns.
Barely a month after excoriating the city of Cleveland (http://www.newsday.com/topics/Cleveland) before the Jets faced the Browns, Edwards offered a similar assessment of Holmes' old team. No love lost here, folks. And no wins, either; Edwards' Browns teams were a combined 0-8 against the Steelers, and in the seven games he played, he had only 21 catches for 389 yards and two touchdowns.
When I asked about any particular memories Edwards had of Pittsburgh, he cut right to the chase: "Losses. Just losses."
And, of course, the song.
"Don't let 'em play the damn Styx song, 'Renegade,' '' Edwards said..........................
