Plaxico Burress suspended for one game

ESPN - Burress suspended for failure to appear, not returning calls - NFL

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

Plaxico is a great player, but he seems immature. This doesn't surprise me at all.

[MTK]

His suspension will cost him $235,294.

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.

So... with the bye he get's an extra week of vacation while his team plays the almighty seahawks? Sounds like a win-win for the giants and plax.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. They have probably wanted to suspend him before this, but decided to wait for the bye week to do it.

Means he only misses one game. Does not send a positive message, if it were a guy that was #3 on the depth chart, you could bet he would have been suspended for 2 games, and not 1 game and a previuosly scheduled week off anyway.

It's interesting to hear that they expected him to play more of a leadership role as part of his contract extension and that he has not satisfied that. Sounds like someone who, in spite of his talents, has never really grown up.

The beginning of the end for this fluke team. I hate the Giants as much as the Cowboys. I can't wait to for the seed of chaos rears its ugly head and the streak of losses begin to happen because believe me its going to happen. No Burress to throw a miracle pass to next week.

[EternalEnigma21]

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?

[birdz4gibbs]

in my view he is a head case but admire his talents and thats all too.

[mcarey032]

Yeah I hope that they lose as well. Plaxico is a great player, but he needs to start earning that extension that he got. There is no reason for him not show up when he supposed to. I just wished he had done this before the Redskins game and we might have had a chance.

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

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.

If we tried this, we'd be fired.


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.
