Re: Plaxico Burress suspended for one game
 

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

Re: Plaxico Burress suspended for one game
 

[QUOTE]His suspension will cost him $235,294.
[/QUOTE]

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.

Re: Plaxico Burress suspended for one game
 

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.

Re: Plaxico Burress suspended for one game
 

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.

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.

Re: Plaxico Burress suspended for one game
 

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.

Re: Plaxico Burress suspended for one game
 

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.

Re: Plaxico Burress suspended for one game
 

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

Re: Plaxico Burress suspended for one game
 

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.

Re: 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

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:

Re: Plaxico Burress suspended for one game
 

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.

How he do last week?:)

Re: Plaxico Burress suspended for one game
 

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.

Re: Plaxico Burress suspended for one game
 

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

Re: Plaxico Burress suspended for one game
 

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".

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.

He missed a practice not a meeting so the punishment would be different.

That's what happened according to ESPN radio. They did throw to him 10 times and he had 2 big drops along with his 3 catches.

Doesn't help that Rosenhaus is his agent. Drew claims he was dealing with a "family matter" but didn't call Coughlin. Hmmm...like his flat tire he had before? :D

[url=http://www.northjersey.com/news/Cops_Burress_involved_in_domestic_disputes.html]NorthJersey.com: EXCLUSIVE: Burress involved in domestic disputes[/url]

Totowa police responded to two domestic disturbance calls at Giants receiver Plaxico Burress’s home the past few months, borough police Chief Robert Coyle confirmed today.

In both instances, Burress’s wife, Tiffany, had phoned the police, reports show. Temporary restraining orders were obtained in each but were later dismissed in state court.


It could not be determined whether the incidents had anything to do with Burress's suspension by the Giants today for the team's Oct. 5 game against the Seattle Seahawks.


Pat Hanlon, a spokesman for the Giants, said the team will "not comment on a player's personal life."

Records show Tiffany Burress called police on June 2 following what she said was an argument with her husband. When officers arrived, she claimed he had grabbed her. He, in turn, said his wife slapped him in the face.


No charges were filed, but Municipal Judge Terence P. Concoran granted Tiffany Burress a temporary restraining against her husband.


The order was later dismissed by a state Family Court judge in Paterson, police said.


Police were called again on Aug. 19. According to a report of the incident, Tiffany Burress left her husband at a New York nightclub after the two got into an argument there. Plaxico Burress arrived home later and began playing loud music, it says.


Citing the couple’s small child, Tiffany Burress called police to the house, records show. She got another municipal order against her husband -- which also was dismissed at the state level.


No one answered the front door bell at the Burress home this afternoon. Several vehicles were parked in the driveway, the window blinds were drawn and two packages addressed to Plaxico Burress were on the front steps.


A neighbor said he saw Plaxico Burress enter the neighborhood yesterday.


“He was driving up," said 20-year-old Steve Bruno. "He waved and that’s it.”

Re: Plaxico Burress suspended for one game
 

you know the guy can take 30 seconds and call in.if happened in the real world,he'd lose his job.

Well I wonder if THIS was his little "family emergency" that kept him away? Almost adds up when you consider why he could not call the team with is cell.

As I suspected there were other motivating factors in the Giants reprimanding Plax.

I say let them at it. David Justice sure did straighten Halle Berry out. (jk)

Truth is I don't think anyone knows just what happen but he never called and that is a bozo NO-NO!The Giants have it in his contract if he did anything like this .....they could tear it up!Let just see if this works,as I said before I back Coughlin on this 100% win or lose.

Re: Plaxico Burress suspended for one game
 

What is the ratio of

Pro-Bowl Appearances to Arrests


for Drew Rosenhaus Clients?

Seem like an awful lot of them need criminal attorneys at one point or another.

Just askin'

A transcript of voice mails on Plaxico's cell phone this week:

Beeeeeeeeep....Plaxico this is your coach. Hey we had a great time last year suprising the world and winning the Super Bowl. Practice started an hour ago but you're not here. Hope everything is alright. Give me a call.

Two hours later:

Beeeeeeeeeep....Plaxico....coach again. Just checking in on you. Practice is over. You got everyone worried....except for Hixon. Nobody has heard from you. Give us a call as soon as you get this message.

Two hours later:

Beeeeeeeeep..... Mr Burress, this is Little Miss Secretary from finance. I was assigned to look into your pay records and we've noticed you are cashing your checks in a timely fashion. Ownership is hoping you'll show up to practice with the same promptness. They mentioned something about defending a championship.

Next morning:

Beeeeeeeeeeppp.....what up my bruthaaaaa!!!! This is your agent. I'm a busy mutha fucka but wanted to hit you up to tell ya you got'em reeling you in man!!!!!! Whitey is all up in yo bizness tryin' to tell you how you shud be livin' yo life!!! *** that *** man. You show up when you show up!!! You call the damn shot....knowhutimeen!!! (click...click... )Hey Plax I gotta click over man....Hixon callin' me and wants me to represint his *** while he tries to get yo jersey number. I gotta go.

Wednesday night:

Beeeeeep........ Hey Plaxico. This is Mr Everyfan. Hey I know you're busy and all but I just wanted to say something. I work an average paying job and I'm raising a couple of kids. Once a year I usually save up and take the family to a pro football game in Anytown USA. Tickets are about $75.00 a piece and parking is another $25.00. Lunch at the stadium sets me back about $40.00 cuz the kids like to get the little ice cream sundaes too. The kids also like to wear team jerseys to show their spirit and they've gone up to about $80.00 bucks a piece. The wife likes those $4.50 frosty malts.
I apologize for not making it to a game this year, but the fuel crunch has my budget sideways and the country's economy is all over the news....maybe you've heard about it. When my cable is working I watch Sportscenter. They say your AWOL. One time, my buddy got his feelings hurt and decided to try playing a little hookie from work. His boss fired him. Strange huh?

You were born with genes that resulted in a 4.3 40 yard dash. Congrats. Think you could muster up enough energy and get your stupid fu#@ing *** to the practice field and catch a couple of Eli passes for the coach?!?!?!?! Or if you're not planning to...at least answer your fu*#ing telephone. Click
