Plaxico Burress placed on Non-Injured Reserve List

December 4, 2008

The New York Football Giants have suspended Plaxico Burress after he shot himself in the leg at a local night club. The Superbowl star has had a lot of problems with his life lately. The public and media have not been nice to him since he skipped a couple of team meetings. To give you an idea of what I am talking about I will give you a timeline and you can see whether or not you believe he should be suspended and removed from the Giants (because essentially thats what they did when they put him on the Non-Injured reserve list), and by the way, he is also looking at 3 1/2 to 15 years in prison for his little stunt and not having a permit for his weapon. I think the worst part about his situation is the fact that the Mayor of New York City Michael Bloomberg came out and told the public he wanted Plaxico Burress prosecuted to the fullest extent. I feel bad I guess…because the dude is a good guy for the most part. He has some issues he needs to work out and I think his ego has gotten the better of him. What I am confused about is he is only suspended for 4 games which is the “rest of the season” but what about the playoffs…the Giants will clinch a spot with a win this weekend. Who knows…but something tells me that you have seen the last of Burress in a Giants uniform. I think he is a talented enough guy to get one a team somewhere else, but he wont be in New York more than likely.
