by Giant among Angels on Nov 29, 2008 10:08 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

I thought this article about it was unintentionally comical:

http://nationalpost.pa-sportsticker.com/default.aspx?s=nfl-news-display&nid=A140391227980407A

Burress has not practice all week due to an ailing hamstring and already had been ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Washington Redskins.

Grammar aside, I just like imagining that something like this was going through his head: “Man, my hamstring really hurts. You know what might make it feel better, though…” (and the rest is history).

Citing sources familiar with the situation, the New York Daily News reported that Burress was shot late Friday night, but no further details of the incident are available.

I like that they say “Burress was shot” rather than “Burress shot himself.” I mean, of all the things to sugar-coat.

It has already been a tumultuous season for Burress, who missed the team’s October 5 game against the Seattle Seahawks after being suspended for missing a team meeting.

I enjoy that they put shooting himself in the leg on the same level as missing a team meeting. That amuses me.

Best news story of the year? Maybe.
