This is something. I attended the Bengals game, and of course when I got home the first thing I did was fast forward my DVR to the final drive in regulation. After seeing the Boss TD catch, something else caught my eye. Plaxico Burress. His reaction was not that of a player whose team just took the lead with about a minute to go. He didn’t raise his arms. He didn’t even come over to congratulate Boss, who was whalloped on the play as well. He simply walked to the sideline. Now at the time I didn’t think much of it, other than Plax having a bit of a frustrating day.
So Burress has been suspended for two weeks, including the Seattle game, and is not allowed to partake in team activities until October 6. Wow. That’s a hefty suspension. Apparently he didn’t show up on Monday and the team was unable to contact him until Tuesday. More details to follow.
First, I’m very dissapointed in Plax, one of my favorite players (hell, he makes this website’s main banner). He’s obviously has taken a step backward here and hopefully he will be very motivated to redeem himself upon his return. Second, I applaud TC. He could have suspended him for a week but makes a point to sit him down for a regular season game. This is Coughlin’s ship and you have to follow the rules. Time for the Giants to pull together even tighter.
