Plax suspended 2 weeks by Giants

[SheikYerbuti]

I wonder if he'd be suspended if their next game was against Dallas or Philly. . .

You know, there might be something to the fact that these guys have to fight for attention. Lineman don't care. Defensive players make their own plays. QBs touch the ball every play and RBs don't have plead their case about getting theirs. WRs go out and do their job and then have to hope the QB both finds them and gets them the ball. I would imagine that would be a recipe for creating an ego-maniac because they have to sell themselves on every play. Either because they feel they're more open than the QB feels or that they can make a tough catch so the QB should just go to them anyway.

 

Not saying that it's OK that these guys are the way they are, but rather that it likely takes a pretty ego-driven guy to (even compared to the other egos that dominate pro sports) to do well at that position.

 

I think it might also have something to do with most of their plays being big plays. They occasionally get the 3 yard out, but most of their receptions are eating up big chunks of yardage or going for TD's. Those plays bring the crowd to their feet, so the result is them standing on the field with the football in their hands and the crowd roaring their approval.

Ah so he's the current problem child WR.

Good excuse to start Chris Henry in his first game back

 

Per Fanball:

 

Thursday 9/25, 9:31 AM CT

 

Chris Henry will likely not be ready to play in a game immediately after he comes off suspension following the Bengals Week 4 contest, according to the Dayton Daily News.

Our View: Henry is not injured, but he will not be able to practice with the squad until after this week, and he needs time to get ready for action.

[Avernus]

No point in hurting themselves.

 

 

 

Radio reporting that Plax will challenge the suspension. He claims that he had a family emergency and couldn't call for two days. Ya know what, if that was true, then you wouldn't care about the suspension. You'd either be too upset that the situation didn't resolve it'self well or too relieved that it did. Who cares about their job more than their family?

 

I can see it getting overturned definitely..

EXCLUSIVE: Burress involved in domestic disputes Wednesday, September 24, 2008

Last updated: Wednesday September 24, 2008, EDT 8:27 PM BY ED BEESONSTAFF WRITER

 

Totowa police responded to two domestic disturbance calls at Giants receiver Plaxico Burress’s home the past few months, borough police Chief Robert Coyle confirmed today.

 

In both instances, Burress’s wife, Tiffany, had phoned the police, reports show. Temporary restraining orders were obtained in each but were later dismissed in state court.

 

It could not be determined whether the incidents had anything to do with Burress's suspension by the Giants today for the team's Oct. 5 game against the Seattle Seahawks.

 

Pat Hanlon, a spokesman for the Giants, said the team will "not comment on a player's personal life."

 

Records show Tiffany Burress called police on June 2 following what she said was an argument with her husband. When officers arrived, she claimed he had grabbed her. He, in turn, said his wife slapped him in the face.

 

No charges were filed, but Municipal Judge Terence P. Concoran granted Tiffany Burress a temporary restraining against her husband.

 

The order was later dismissed by a state Family Court judge in Paterson, police said.

 

Police were called again on Aug. 19. According to a report of the incident, Tiffany Burress left her husband at a New York nightclub after the two got into an argument there. Plaxico Burress arrived home later and began playing loud music, it says.

 

Citing the couple’s small child, Tiffany Burress called police to the house, records show. She got another municipal order against her husband -- which also was dismissed at the state level.

 

No one answered the front door bell at the Burress home this afternoon. Several vehicles were parked in the driveway, the window blinds were drawn and two packages addressed to Plaxico Burress were on the front steps.

 

A neighbor said he saw Plaxico Burress enter the neighborhood yesterday.

 

“He was driving up," said 20-year-old Steve Bruno. "He waved and that’s it.”
