He had a bonus the Giants had been holding on to, saying that Burress didn’t earn it (since it didn’t play.) Seems reasonable, right?

But with the NFL, things having to do with players and their bad behaviors are seldom logical. This week an arbitrator said Burress could have $1 million out of the $4.25 million signing bonus. The million will help cover Burress’ costs after getting suspended for the rest of the season after the shooting ($823,529) and the fine of one week’s pay ($205,882).

Essentially this is like rewarding Burress for shooting himself, disrupting his team’s season, and reinforcing the bad behavior which all too often gets the attention in this league. This decision sets a bad precedent.

What do you think? Should Plaxico Burress have received any part of his bonus after this incident?

Plaxico Burress Gets a Cool Million

We already know that the very concept behind Castlevania Judgement is abhorrent and nobody likes it. At this point though, we may as well shrug and accept that this is coming. If you still can’t get excited about party times, maybe it’ll cheer you up to hear that Koji Igarashi has revealed some of Castlevania Judgement’s Wii/DS connectivity secrets.

It’s an interview. GameSpy sat down with IGA and asked him thingies. One such thingy:

GameSpy: We’ve heard that DS connectivity will play a role, but we haven’t heard how. Could you elaborate on DS connectivity and what it will do for players?

IGA: When you connect Order of Ecclesia to Judgment you unlock a couple of things. In Order of Ecclesia the level max is 99, but once you connect to Judgment the level max immediately increases to 255. Also, you unlock an item called “Queen of Heart.”

For the Wii version the main character from Order of Ecclesia, Shanoa, is unlocked for all modes. The new character Aeon is also unlocked in every mode except Story Mode. Also, some accessories will be unlocked.

There you go. An excuse to level-grind. You know you were looking for one.
