Giant Collapse Part of Recent Giants History

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 13:10:00 -0500

Following a 5-0 start that had many talking heads considering the New York Giants a top three team in the NFL, Big Blue has fallen to 6-5 after a recent 1-5 slump and are now being considered one of the biggest disappointments of 2009. Still, with five games remaining, including three against NFC East division rivals, the Tom Coughlin-led Giants have the opportunity to make a run similar to that of 2007 when they eventually went on to defeat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLI...

A Prison Thanksgiving Hurt More than Just Plaxico

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 11:00:00 -0500

Former New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress may not be the brightest crayon in the box, but that certainly doesn't make him a bad person. And while many are bitter over the stupidity that landed him in jail and possibly cost Big Blue a return trip to the Super Bowl, many more are disappointed about what he wasn't able to do from behind prison bars. Growing up in a poor household, Thanksgiving wasn't always a special occasion for Burress. In fact, there were entire...

Game Day: Giants (6-4) at Denver Broncos (6-4)

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 11:42:15 -0500

Happy Thanksgiving from Denver, where it’s going to hit 60 degrees today. Sixty! OK, it’ll be 45 by kickoff and in the low 40s for most of the game, but it’s still late November and I can see the Rocky Mountains. But it’s Sixty! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday. Don’t let it prevent you from checking the blog every five minutes, as usual. And if you need something to do while you’re waiting for the Giants game and/or your turkey, might I suggest: ...

Plaxico Burress's new roommates aren't being very welcoming

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 12:14:08 -0500

As Plaxico Burress(notes) checked into his new residence at Riker's Island yesterday, fellow inmates showered him with chants of "a--hole" and "Giants suck," according to the New York Post. The "a--hole" chant seems like a pretty brave card for the residents of Riker's Island to be playing. I'm not arguing that Plaxico should be up for any Nobel peace prizes or anything, but on the list of crimes that land people in Riker's, shooting yourse...

Plax Goes to Prison

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:06:00 -0500

We roasted Plaxico a few weeks ago. While we think he’s getting what he deserves for not knowing the laws in the state he lives in, it is rather sad that the guy is going to prison for almost two years just for being… well, stupid. Guy shoots himself in the leg and now he’s [...]

Plaxico Burress aka Cheddar Bob gets 2 years

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 12:12:00 -0500

I get that if you commit a crime, however stupid, you have to be punished, but this punishment just doesn't match the crime. There are pedophiles, drug dealers, and drunk drivers that get less time than Cheddar Bob (if u haven't seen 8 mile, please do so). Plax didn't have any intentions of committing a crime and probably didn't even realize he was committing a felony just by carrying, whether the gun was ever fired or not. I know ignorance is no excuse, but don't you th...

by Chris BurkeFiled under: Giants, NFL Police BlotterThe odds of Plaxico Burress signing with an NFL team for the 2009 season seem to be getting longer by the day. Beyond the legal issues, potential chemistry disruption and questions about what playing shape Plax is in, the threat of a lengthy NFL suspension looms for any franchise even considering Burress as an option.Roger Goodell's season-long ban of Donte' Stallworth has set the bar for any future suspension -- Burress injured him...
