Plaxico Burress Gets a Cool Million

So… remember when Plaxico Burress shot himself (accidentally) in the leg back in November? He was out partying, inexplicably took out his gun and in doing so shot himself in the leg. Anywho, he couldn’t play after that (obviously) and then was released by the Giants last week.
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 …read more

It is JUST not Plaxico Burress‘ year. He’s had the problems with the ref, problems with tossing a ball into the stands, problems with shooting himself, and now… this.
Apparently he rear-ended a woman in May, and like the careless young lad he is he failed to pay his car insurance! And now he’s being sued.
Miami resident Alise Smith says Plaxico hit her car from behind and now seeks $15,000 for “medical bills, lost wages, and damage to her car.”
Plaxico, whose salary is $7,850,000, had failed to pay the last three premiums (to Allstate, his …read more

The Giants have their issues these days, what with the Plaxico problems and all. So you’d think the team would appreciate any fan support it gets.
But… apparently not. The Giants booted out Sondra Fortunato (shown above) because she was wearing “a Santa Claus outfit, a tiara, fishnet stockings, a bathing suit bottom and high-heeled boots.” She also had a “suitcase and two 11-by-17 signs reading “Go Giants” and “Have a No Guns Christmas,” which undoubtedly referred to Plaxico Burress.
I don’t have a photo of Sondra with her Santa Class outfit on (oh, how …read more

As we told you, Plaxico Burress shot himself in the leg Friday night. Here’s what happened. “An onlooker saw Burress near the V.I.P. area of the club holding a drink in his left hand and fidgeting his right hand in the area of the waistline of his pants. The witness then heard a single “pop” sound before hearing Burress say, “Take me to the hospital.” ~source
But this being a Plaxico problem, it isn’t just the matter of the shooting which has him in trouble. There’s the matter of the gun – which Plaxico had illegally. …read more

Plaxico Burress has made headlines once again. The Giants receiver “accidentally shot himself in the right thigh on Friday night, FOXSports.com has learned, not long after being ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Redskins with a hamstring injury.” ~source
There’s a lot we don’t know yet. Apparently the shooting took place in a nightclub, and that the injuries are not life threatening.
Plaxico has had tons of problems this year: a “lengthy contract dispute,” a suspension, and a couple major fines. He apparently missed a team meeting (although he said it was a family emergency, still …read more

Oh those crazy Giants. They’re having such a great year that they are playing pranks on each other right and left. The mood is happy in the locker room these days.
But sometimes, being too happy gets boring, apparently. The guys must have decided that playing pranks on each other just wasn’t good enough. They decided to step it up a notch and play a joke on one of the player’s wives.
So if you were trying to decide which player’s wife you could prank, which one would you choose? Hmmmm…… how about…. …read more
