On Friday, Plaxico Burress was released by the New York Giants. On Saturday, Burress was in Detroit as he cheered on Michigan State in the Final Four. With Burress leading the cheers, Michigan State won and is heading to the title game.
Burress wasn’t in a talkative mood at the 2009 Final Four contest. The only question he answered was when he said he felt great following his release from the Giants.
Born in Virginia, Burress attended Michigan State before being selected in the 2000 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 6-foot-5 Burress established himself as a wide receiver who was both big and talented in his days with the Spartans. The apex of Burress’ football career came when he caught the winning touchdown in the 2007 Super Bowl as the Giants upset the previously unbeaten New England Patriots.
On Monday, Michigan State will face North Carolina for the 2009 college basketball championship. There’s no confirmation yet that Burress will attend the championship game. Either way, Burress will be in a court in June when he faces gun charges in New York.
