It may very well be the end of an era. Edgerrin James is turning in his grill.

The running back told the Arizona Republic that he would no longer sport his trademark gold teeth, instead unleashing upon the world, “Business Edge.” James told the Republic:

“It was time to take them out,” the Cardinals running back said. “I had them for a long time, but I took off my mask. Now the real ‘Business Edge’ will surface.”

With gold teeth safely stashed will this be the year that the Cards finally fulfill everyone’s trendy expectations and make it to the playoffs? Who knows. But one thing becomes apparent in this article.

Edge is Joseph Addai’s rock.

“Man, I am so over that,” James said. “When the Super Bowl was done, we were all hanging out again. They know I was a part of what they did. They know I helped build what they became. And all throughout the year, (Colts running back Joseph) Addai and I became really close friends. He was calling me for advice like every day, all day long.”

Touching stuff, really.
