Plaxico Burress

[Van_Slyke_CF]

Plastic-hoe Burra$$ doesn't deserve to be anywhere near a football field, except maybe to clean up the grounds. Of course he'd never do work like that. I sure hope Eli doesn't start lobbying for Burra$$'s return.

I disagree, Col. Reb. I think he'd make a fine member of the sideline chain gang.

ha ha! Yep, that would work.

Burress was in protective custody the whole time in jail. It had to be that way because of his "celebrity" status. Basically this piece of trash was in a country club, not a prison. Anyone that tells you otherwise is a liar.

Here's an article on Plax with him becoming the latest useful idiot for the anti-gun crowd. The article mentions that "handgun ownership among NFL players is epidemic"

and says that 90% own handguns. Now, handgun ownership for self/home protection is a right (at least for now), so what's the problem? It would make more sense if he specifically said he was going to suggest to to his black brethren that going clubbing with a piece is inadvisable.

PlaxiHO no doubt had plenty of practice at catchin' balls...across his chin. I bet he sure missed his knee pads & chin guard.

Plaxico Burress will be a joke when he tries to play again.

Plaxico Burress will be a joke when he tries to play again.

I agree completely, yet he will still be given years to "regain the limitless potential" and will be beloved by DWF jock-sniffers all around the country. Any attempt to point out his obvious limitations will be denounced as "rayciss" and that we just don't want to give the bruva a "second chance". If he does make a team and catches 30 balls, he'll be a lock for the "comeback player of the year award", and probably win the NFL "man of the year" award as well.

It looks like the team with "Fireman Ed" as it's poster boy for fandom has agreed to a one year deal with Plaxico Burress...This guy can accidentally set off a semi-automatic gun without a lock he's carrying in his pants in a crowded club endangering the lives of many. Also, him and his entourage can BADLY beat up a couple people who they had words with- and he gets a second chance after 20 months in prison?

Meanwhile a player with a similar style/ skill set, but who is faster and younger (Matt Jones) and played just last preseason for the Bengals sits home. His offense was being caught with cocaine (compared to Plaxico this mostly hurts himself) once and then drinking a beer at a golf outing when he was on probation. Such is the way in the "Loony Rooney" league.

The Jets have fast become one of my least favourite teams with windbag Rex as the coach (who admits he now can't stand Woodhead) and their castean ways.​

 

[ToughJ.Riggins]

It's easily explained. Plax went into prison as a tight end and came out a wide receiver!

That's a hilarious play on words WN- although it's unsettling to picture.

Burress to the Eagles?

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...plaxico-burress-would-be-good-fit-with-eagles

Coming off a two-year prison term, Plaxico Burress was a valuable member of the New York Jets last season, racking up 612 yards and eight touchdowns.
And on Tuesday, Burress made it clear that he would like to play for the Philadelphia Eagles next season.
Burress told Philadelphia's 97.5 The Fanatic, via the New York Post, “Nothing else would make me happier. Obviously, coming to Philadelphia and instituting myself to the offense it just adds a unique dynamic to what’s already in place.â€￾
Adam Schefter of ESPN reported on Saturday that the Eagles were listening to offers for DeSean Jackson, who they are expected to franchise before the March 5 deadline.
In that case, Burress could help fill a hole in the receiving corps. Even if Jackson stays with the Eagles, Burress offers them a solid No. 3 receiver, which would be the better role for him.


There are obviously going to be questions about Burress' character. But I think he held up pretty well in 2011, especially given his teammates, including Santonio Holmes, were blasting the Jets organization left and right.

Burress also said he feels a connection to Michael Vick, who is also from Virginia and spent time in prison for his part in a dog-fighting operation.
Burress noted, via the Post:

“Being able to play together, coming from what we’ve come from, I just think would be a special deal,â€￾ Burress said. “I really believe he can bring a championship to Philadelphia and I would love to be a part of it.â€￾
​

Obviously, the Eagles signing Burress has a lot to do with how much money he wants. The Jets paid him a little over $3 million last season on a one-year deal.
But I don't see Burress being too expensive. He knows he's on his last legs, and if he truly wants to land with the Eagles, I'd think he'd give the team somewhat of a discount.
It's natural for the Eagles to look at their situation with Jackson and be wary of another receiver with character concerns.
But Burress wasn't a distraction last year with the Jets, and he's proven he can still be a productive player in the NFL.

The Eagles need another receiver, and Burress fits the mold.

Question! Why would anyone here care about Burress?

Because he would take a spot away from Riley Cooper.
