praise_gibbs Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Plaxico Burress was placed on the non-football injury list and suspended 4 games thus ending his season. Also, the Giants will not be going after his signing bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman#21 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I expected him to be placed on the list, but i thought the Giants would go after his money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RememberOsaka Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I expect him to play for the Graybar Hotel.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGibbs Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I don't think the Giants will miss him one bit. They've shown that when they parted ways with Barber, Strahan, Shockey and the loss of Osi this year. It will make them a better "team" IMO. Scary.

ntotoro Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 You all seem to forget a session in Club Fed would seriously hinder his chances with playing for anyone next year. Looks like they want to make an example of him in NYC to prove they're serious about the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praise_gibbs Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 Sal Paolantonio said that the NFL made a law that prevents an NFL team to go after the signing bonus. The law was put in place after the whole Mike Vick fiasco. I didn't quite understand the exact rule and if there are exceptions or not. I'll need to look into that more.

hoskins Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 The Giants' quest for a dynasty just took a pretty serious hit this week. I don't know. It seems like the Giants don't really miss a beat with him out, do they? As for next year, imagine a 3-WR set with TO, Roy Williams, and Plaxico. I wouldn't put it past Jerruh.

ljs Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 He won't go to jail. Oh he better damn go to jail. Or you will have a lot of pissed of people in NY...and no one can cry that "The rich white man gets off, but poor black men go to jail"....this time it's a rich black man...the money should make no difference in who goes to jail. Just like mayor Bloomberg said, he needs to be held accountable just like every other citizen in NY. And, how can anyone justify him not going to jail? Vick goes for dog fighting, but we don't send someone who was so careless that a .40cal handgun went off. Plax is DAMN lucky that no one else got shot. Then you add their laundry list of cover up attempts. Hell, he and that hospital need some sort of false reporting charge. Hiding evidence as well. If he doesn't do prision time, there should be some serious hell raised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxiumone Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 He won't go to jail. Unless he pleads to a lesser charge he will go to jail if convicted of what he has been charged with. mandatory sentence is 3.5 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plax won't be able to play for the Pukes for at least 2.5 years. He will be going away for a while. No way he walks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxiumone Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Seems there is a lot more to this story the police only found out about this after it was reported on tv. http://www.abcnews.go.com/Blotter/Story?id=6378395&page=3 When detectives attempted to interview hospital officials they were initially told that the hospital could not disclose the information, under patient confidentiality guidelines. The inspector in charge of the nearby 17th Precinct walked over to the hospital personally and finally cooperation was received, police said. Late this afternoon, officials still were considering whether to charge two additional persons in connection with the shooting. The charges would be in connection with the alleged cover-up. The Manhattan District Attorney's office said that the matter remains under investigation at this time. Mayor Michael Bloomberg told reporters: "I have not talked to the District Attorney, that would be inappropriate. It's up to the District Attorney to decide what to do. Look, we take guns very seriously. We have made this the safest big city, of the 250 biggest cities in the countries of 100,000 population or more. One of the reasons is because we focused taking illegal guns off the street, out of the hands of criminals." Pierce, police officials say, promised to show up for questioning yesterday but failed to. The players union and the NFL sent representatives in his place. Police officials said they are not satisfied, and are still seeking to talk to Pierce.

coolbeans Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Where the hell does the players union and the NFL get off on sending reps to talk to the police on Pierce's behalf. I'd be pissed if I was the DA and I'd be looking to throw the book at him for that stunt. When you are wanted for questioning, they want to talk to you, not league reps who don't have a clue what really happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGibbs Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Jerruh must be creaming his pants. First Pacman Jones and now I'm sure he is awaiting Vick's release and will be there to greet Burress when he gets released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blue Joe Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I don't know. It seems like the Giants don't really miss a beat with him out, do they?Without Plax, teams can make the Giants one-dimensional by stopping the run. Against a team that can score a lot of points, the Giants could be in trouble.As for next year, imagine a 3-WR set with TO, Roy Williams, and Plaxico. I wouldn't put it past Jerruh. :puke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veteranskinsfan Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 He won't go to jail. I think you are right about no jail time. Plax wife is a lawyer and he has "lawyered up" and hired a well known expensive lawyer. The lawyer will try to get a plea deal. A lot of people will be upset if he does not get a stiff sentence, especially the Mayor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HapHaszard Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 He's gone.I wonder who he signs wit next. I really would not be shocked to see him go to Dallass to complete their Madden team or Philly. He's Dallas material. But I think the City of NY has a 3.5 year contract on his services.

maxiumone Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Not uncommon for a union to represent its members in criminal matters. When it pertains to legal matters with contracts and league matters. Criminal not so much. And if they are your rep at the questioning he still should have got his ass there.
