OMG! Giants suspend Burress!!

A yearlong ankle injury could not keep Plaxico Burress out of the Giants' lineup last season. The lack of a telephone call this week apparently is going to cost him a game and more than $235,000.

Less than a month after handing the man who caught the winning pass in the Super Bowl a new $35 million contract, the Giants suspended Burress for a game for missing a practice and not calling to explain his absence.

Burress' agent insisted the nine-year veteran had an undisclosed family emergency Monday and will appeal the ban to the NFL Players Association.

What's that? Oh, did you think I meant the San Francisco Giants suspended Emmanuel Burriss?

I'm so sorry if I mistakenly caused any false concern.

Heh

I took my brother to a game this month. I pointed out Manny Burriss to him and said, “he’s fast.” To which my brother asked, “Plaxico?”

"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.

Can he over turn this? I’ve got him in my FFB team and I need him for Week 5.

Saw this on around the horn

while home sick yesterday. It took a minute in my decongestant induced state to notice the spelling. I hallucinated that game last night, right?? It was an off day, right???

WHAT IS HE BEING SUSPENDED FROM?

I ASSUME IT WOULD BE THE GOAL-STICKS? THEY PROVIDE THE ONLY POINT OF ELEVATION ON THE FOOTBALL PLAYING AREA.

THAT WOULD ALSO MAKE A VERY VISIBLE EXAMPLE OF HIM AS A WARNING TO HIS ATHLETIC TEAMMATES. WILL THIS CONTINUE ON TO SUPER BOWL SUNDAY (WINTER)?

PLEASE SEND CLARIFICATION IF POSSIBLE. THANK YOU.

This would’ve worked if someone hadn’t already done the joke when the Giants extended Burress’s contract.

There amass been plenty of articles written this spring about the stud shortstop Matt Cain and Tim Lincecum , as well as the fluid young outfielders and thirteen basemen Kevin Frandsen.
