As you may know, Plaxico Burress has begun to serve his jail sentence, almost two years on weapon charges. As a Giant fan, it’s a pretty stunning fall. He caught the game winning [...]

One-time Super Bowl hero Plaxico Burress was sentenced to two years in prison Tuesday for violating New York’s stringent gun laws and was immediately taken into custody following his hearing.
Burress agreed to a plea deal last month and pleaded guilty to a lesser firearms charge. The charges stemmed from an incident [...]
As everybody knows, Plaxico Burress pleaded guilty today to a weapons charge. Every Giants fan knows that Plax was a key member of our Super Bowl team 2 seasons ago. Plax will be missed and no WR on the Giants roster as of right now can fill the void he left.
Forget about Plaxico Burress coming in and being a number one wideout for some team around the NFL. The only place he’ll be catching passes for the next two years is prison. The player who just two years ago caught the game winning TD in the Giants upset of the Patriots in Super [...]

Former Giants receiver has a thing for weapons.
He likes his guns. And he likes his “F” bombs.
The best part about “F” bombs is that no one ever blew a hole in his leg while letting one off.
According to the New York Post, Burress hurled multiple “f” bombs at the police who were writing [...]
So it’s finally over, as you know by now, the Giants said goodbye to Plaxico Burress today, and to be honest I am glad they rid themselves of the headache. Now, before you bombard me with comments, I will always have a special place for Plax in my heart.
Being a Spartan and Giants fan [...]
