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.

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.
