This has to be one of the worst career moves since McLean Stevenson left M*A*S*H. Burress could have copped out, did the three months, paid the price, thrown himself at The Commish’s mercy, probably gotten a 6 game suspension, and been ready to play for someone during the stretch run.

Instead, he turned down the offer, and could conceivably lose it all.

Maybe he can be in the Riker’s Island Production of “The Longest Yard:The Musical”

Thank god he was not indicted. I understand that the fact-finding mission was to be as all-inclusive as possible; however, I’m very excited that AP was able to avoid anything further with this trial.

I’m so happy that this distraction is no longer a NY Giants issue.

The one person whose reaction I’d love to see is Drew Rosenhaus’ – that smug POS must be sweating right now.

Additionally, I can’t say that I actually feel bad for Plax – I agree with everything Jim said above. Had he copped out, he’d be in training

I really hope Goodell is consistent and suspends Plax until his case is resolved.

I thought the news early last week said he had never been offered 3 months, only two years?

In the NFC Championship game at Green Bay…when he sniffed out that screen, took on THREE linemen and still made the tackle. Saved a sure TD…one of the most underrated plays of the year if you ask me.

I heard the same as Queler…i don’t think they ever had a deal on the table for 3 months…just two years and plax was trying to only do a year.

and Tito, yes i remember that play well, AP save us big time with that one….

while we’re talking about LB i would love nothing more than to see Chase line up over at SAM instead of Clark until Sintim is ready to take over…i thought a big reason why AP got burned last year was the last of help at SAM. I mean, the guy can’t cover the entire field can he???

I would be happy to see Chase (SAM), AP (MIKE), and Kehl (WILL) come week 1.

that’s supposed to read “Lack of help” not “last of help”

I want to say that hopefully someone will learn from Plaxico’s mistake but it always seems though no matter how many times athletes get in trouble with the law other athletes just never seem to learn.

definitely had a hard on for this case…not only did Bloomberg open his mouth about it but I believe this is the last year for the DA in NY (Morgenthau or whatever his name is)…he’s basically stepping down so who knows, maybe this was his way of “going out with a bang?” if that even makes sense.

but john W hit the nail on the head….what a waste is right…i mean, you caught the winning TD in a super bowl, your team re negotiates your contract, your team has a nucleus of players to get you in the playoffs for the foreseeable future and this is how you want to play your cards????

honestly it’s sad…and i know this didn’t have any bearing on the case but disrespecting the giants was the last thing he shoulda done…i mean, you saw the way Mara when to back for AP…i didn’t see any statements concerning Plaxico…wonder why that was…lol

Burress put it upon himself. And with a terrible DA decision to try his sob case against a jury they want to give him the max now. That’s exactly what his hard head deserves.
