the part about coaches carrying guns to practice.. i love tom coughlin’s obsession with running things early.

Nice job. I was just thinking a few days ago that at this point everyone here is projecting their feelings about what should be done about Plax on TC & JR. This really drives that point home and I’m sure the comments that will be coming will drive it even further.

At this point I think it’s really simple & I doubt anyone would disagree about it … the Giants simply are just putting themselves in the best position possible for the day that a final decision about Plax has to be made. They are moving on in the offseason like he won’t be back and will probably reserve their final decision on Plax until the chips fall where the may.

Of course, I wouldn’t be surprised if TC’s real feelings were not too far off from what you’ve laid out here.

Burress was so important in 07 for them to win a SB & was so important in their late season collapse in 08, I still don’t know what to make of him. They still need to talk him up just in case he plays for them or if they want to trade him for a lot. I agree with ETVal that TC must be very annoyed. If they had won back to back SB’s he would probabbly a lock for the HOF and if continued coaching for the remainder of his contract he would proabbly be considered a better coach than Bill Parcells. After 5 years compared to Parcells after 5 he has more regular season wins an extra playoff appearance along with a SB. 08 Was probabbly his best shot at another SB. I’d be pissed if I were TC too.

I dont have much reason why, just a feeling, barring incarceration of course. Plus Heyward-Bey is probably pricing himself out of our draft slot given his combine performance this weekend.

Well if the Giants win another SB in Coughlins tenure, I dont see why he wouldnt merit serious consideration for the HOF.

about bringing him back. And I think Coughlin really doesn’t want that to happen. That being said the real problem is he is probably going to jail, and regardless will be suspended 8 games. I doubt it would be a full year, Goddell hinted at the super bowl that was reserved for repeat offenders

I’d guess he has already spoken to Goodell (off the record) and knows what to expect there (atleast best case; worst case). Plaxico’s feelings / attitude? Plaxico has been talking to NYG medical staff and Charles Way. NO ONE’S had a what the f… conversation with him? Is he getting help to get his life together? JR knows what the staff is hearing from him. I’m sure the legal staff for the Giants has gone over the case a million times and talked to the NY prosecutor’s office to get a feel for what they’re after. You’d think that would have put a call into that jackass agent’s office as well.

Based on all that they know and unfortunately we don’t, they may feel compelled to give him ONE MORE shot. The options are pretty limited (Boldin = BIG $$$ or betting on a rookie draft pick to save 2009)

Just a guess on my part, but I can’t see them not doing some of what I mentioned. It would sure help clear alot of things up in my mind!

i imagine it going more like this:

TC: so any word on Plax? he’s an idiot but also one of our best players and one of the best recievers in the league and i’m anxious to know if we’ll have him back next season.

JR: we’ll, he’s been in touch with our medical staff. haven’t spent too much time talking to him though. he obviously still needs to sort out his legal issues. it’s a shame he messed up so bad because he really does work hard and isn’t a bad person.

TC: i agree. well i hope he stays out of jail so he can play for us next year.

JR: me too. say, isn’t it rediculous that giants fans are calling for us to dump him? we’d be crazy to do that!

TC: i know it’s absurd. it’s like they take his accident personally. like plax purposely shot himself in the leg to ruin last season.

JR: that really is absurd. it’s not like we’d be anything like the cowboys or the bengals if plax is back at camp.

TC: yeah i dunno. i mean it’s not like he helped his friends kill a guy and then lied to the police to try and cover it up like ray lewis.

JR: seriously, it’s nothing like that. well, hopefully the fans trust us to know whats best for the team by now.

TC: i tell you this job what be easy if it werent for the effing fans.

JR. no shinola sherlock. awright dude, smell you later.

TC: peace out, homeslice.

here’s how it’d REALLY happen

TC: Jerry, what’s going on, is Plax coming back or not?

JR: You know I don’t the answer, Tom, otherwise I would have told you by now.

TC: Well it sounds like you planning on brining him back, and I don’t think all the BS Plax brings with him is the best thing for the team right now.

JR: Look, if Plax comes back, it’ll be on our terms and he’ll follow our rules or he won’t be back at all. But we have to keep our options open and do what’s best for the team, and one of those options is keeping a talent like Burress in a Giants uniform.

TC: You’re right, it’s just this agita I’ve got. I don’t need any more stress. And that’s another thing that’s been bothering me, how the hell does Marisa Tomei not win an Oscar for her role in the Wrestler?

JR: I don’t know but boy did she look fine. She was naked more often then she had clothes on!

TC: It was pretty sweet. Oh how I’d like to break of a piece in that tight rump of hers. Not that Penelope Cruz is some hag or anything but this is Marisa friggin Tomei we’re talking about.

JR: You don’t have to tell me, brother.

TC: Say, I’m hungry, let’s go get cupcakes.

JR: You’re not going to going to get one withg pink frosting again are you?

TC: Hey, screw you! I like the pink frosting.

JR: Hey, up yours, pal!

Together: Hahahaha

[High five!]

The End

for the ignorant line, that was over the top. I’m just sick of the whole Plax debate – I just want the Giants to have a legit #1 wide receiver next year, I don’t care who it is (well, as long as it’s not T.O.)

And Ken, your posts on Amazin Avenue make me laugh at least once a day, so it’s nothing personal, sorry if it came off that way. Like I said, just sick of the Plax thing.
