Plaxico Burress was a big story in Super Bowl XLII, so it's only fitting that he show up at Super Bowl XLVI to talk a little bit about his former team and him, um, soon to be former team? Burress had some glowing things to say about the Giants, noting rather conspiquously that he knows the Giants will be "well-coached" in the game on Sunday and that the team will "go out and play Giants football." "From the outside looking in, I have to go with my boys," he said. "I know my boys. I know how they get when it gets to crunch time." In case there was any ambiguity, the Giants are his "boys." And he kept the door open for a possible return to the Giants. But when it came to the Jets, Burress clammed up. "It went as it went," he said of his year with the team. "Mark Sanchez is Mark Sanchez," he said of his quarterback. "The Jets' locker room is the Jets' locker room," he said. Plaxico is Plaxico.
