JackStroud Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Wow. Not often you hear a former player rip into a former teammate like that. Thats really saying something. true true I had experience as a terrible practice player myself though I was a top flight 50 meter swimmer but hated to swim the interminable laps my teamates did race the longer distances I only lost two races out of maybe 25-30 in my career so I can empathize a bit with Plaxico. If you can talk the talk and walk the walk on sunday that's the bottom line Who wants a great practice player who cannot get it done when it counts.......sounds like a Rudy movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorBanksCarsonVanPelt Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Yeah I can't recall ever seeing someone dis a teammate's work ethic like that. He sure left an impression. Remember he was quoted as saying "Yeah whatever" to one of the Giants linemen when they ran to congratulate him for the winning TD in the Super Bowl...kinda says a lot right there. Listen his own mother....(and usually the most incorrigible guys will finally come around for mom if for no one else) said that Plax had this huge chip on his shoulder for basically to just have a chip on his shoulder. A rebel without a cause or an ounce of brains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look Jim Taylor had the worlds biggest chip He actually said on Johnny Carson he dreamed of hitting someone so hard on a football field he would kill the guy didn't stop the Packers from using the heck out of him......they just worked around his idiosyncrasies to get at his talent I'm not looking at NY Giants WRs for moral direction......I got to church for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 lets not get crazy here...Nicks and Barden are unproved...they may be great, they may be terrible, who knows Thanks for solidifying my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I completely disagree. Didn't he already have like 47 team infractions between getting his contract extension and shooting himself? Remember when they had to sit him for half a game? The guy's an A-class jerk. I'm not saying he's a model citizen, Tree. I just think we have to distinguish between a flaming asshole like TO and a disturbed individual like Plax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plax did not destroy our team... at least not intentionally... Plax is also the same dude who makde Super Bowl XLII possible for all of us to share those memories. You saw Plax's heart melt the frozen tundra of Green Bay. He made that moment frozen in time and answered all of the outstanding questions surrounding his heart. The dude is a lion who wants a real family to surround him and true friends to watch his back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he goes to a club..3 days before a game he is "too hurt" to play in, while bringing two teammates with him. Yeah, some true friends he wants. Not intentionally? You bring a gun with you into a night club, where the booze and bitches is ever present (I bet ya'll like that alliteration, motherfuckers!!) something stupid is going to happen....Guess what? Something stupid did happen. Burress was nothing short of a malcontent this year, from his demand of a new contract, him not living up to that contract (he had ONE great game..and it happened 5 hours after he signed the extension) and being an all around asshole.

Agreed... this is supposed to be professional football. Shouldn't have to try and beg one of your players to be a professional. I don't care where he goes, just not back to the NY Giants. I'd bet my ass we're better off without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which leads us to money. The fkin guy wants more money the giants give it to him and the stupid asshole as you mention in 5 fkin hours melts down. 47 team infractions!!! Fuck this guy!

Tempest Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I doubt he comes back to the Giants, even more doubtful that he plays this season. Quite a few irrational fans are still ticked at Plaxico as evidence of the previous posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyality and being professional might be old school but when you cross that line for that kind of money your will here strong opinions. If irrational means that plax is and asshole so be it. Politically correct words dont belong when speaking of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as often the case with these celebs, they're surrounded by ass-kissers and enablers. Ultimately I don't think Plax is a bad person, just someone made a few mistakes.

He had it....when the Giants were willing to stick with him through his criminal procedings, they even offered him a new contract...he said no. The next day...the Giants released him.
