Plaxico Burress suspended for one game

anyone have an idea on what he did? i have been nosing around, and cant find anything? another guy , in a long list of guys, that lets his mental attitude get in the way of some awesome physical skills. could be a team issue for the giants

Ouch. I'm sure it's not a huge deal for him, but damn. If I was making that type of cake per year I'd be pretty damn happy.


Still don't know what happen and why,I do know he is appealling .I like the decision,he's part of the team and he has the same rules to follow as everyone else.From what I know there is no contest that he screwed up just that the punishment does'nt fit the crime.I have no problem with it....I'm with Coughlin on this ...win or lose.:benched:

Drew Rosenhaus was just on NFL Live. He admitted that there was an infraction but that the punishment does not fit the crime. It seems to me like this wasnt the first time this or something like this happened. At any rate, I believe Eli is just an average quaterback without Plax, we'll see what happens.

Yeah I see them struggling without him. He's pretty insturmental in that offense. Every big giants win has his fingertprints all over it. Here's hoping they lose.



How he do last week?:)

I've grown to admire this guy as a player. He was only a 3rd option in Pittsburgh to become one of the top 5 in the league now..He is the throw the ball up there and i'll get it guy.

he was the #2 in pitt.. el was the 3.

Like the Trader Mark Schlereth(probly spelled wrong) every player in the NFL has a cell phone

Burress whined about only catching 3 passes last week, although the rest of the team had plenty of catches and the ball was spread around well, which is usually GOOD for a team.

He blew off Monday and Tuesday practices BEFORE A BYE WEEK (all he had to do was come in, not even work as hard as usual).

The team suspended him for 2 weeks, but only 1 game because of the bye.


Basically, he cried because he didn't get open and do his job, stayed home from WORK which he's contractually obligated to be present for...he got himself a nice vacation from it. Maybe that was his goal though. :D

If we tried this, we'd be fired.


Plaxiglass is a real giant "one".

Plaxiglass is a real giant "one".Is this your opinion or did you read this somewhere? To this point I haven't read anything about what happened.

Listening to ESPN radio and they were talking about this. If a player misses a couple of meetings like this, they are not suspended for 2 weeks.

So that tells everyone that there is more there than just a couple of days missed. Apparently Burress has been a problem for a while, and there have been many infractions and the club decided to do something only after this latest one.

This was not the first time Burress has done this, they are hoping with this suspension that it will be the last time though.
