Giants Banish Burress

The New York Giants wasted little time in placing Plaxico Burress on the non-football injury list today, ending his season and likely his career in New York.

Plaxico Burress returned to Giants Stadium on Tuesday, only to be told that he would be suspended four games and placed on the non-football injury list.

While police were still trying to sort out the events surrounding the Manhattan nightclub shooting that prompted the suspension, Burress' season with the Super Bowl champions, and possibly his career with the team, likely came to an end.

"I'm happy," Burress said, "this allows me more time to drive my son to school," apparently unaware nursery schools are Glock-free school zones.

OK, I added that last part. But it's not a stretch with this dunce, now proud owner of the $27 million shot heard around the world.

Perhaps the only punishment worse than losing all that money and facing prison time might be acquittal followed by a trade to Detroit.
