  • BREAKING NEWS! Plaxico Burress suspended by Giants

    Star wideout skipped practice, ignored calls

    The New York Giants will not have the services of their most electrifying offensive weapon when they play Seattle after their bye week. WR Plaxico Burress will miss the game, not because of injury, but rather insubordination.

    FOXSports.com has learned that the Giants have suspended Burress for two weeks for failing to show up for work on Monday and not responding to several phone calls by the team to explain his unexcused absence both Monday and Tuesday.

    The star wideout, who was just rewarded with a new lucrative contract three weeks ago, was slated to meet with team officials early this morning to explain why he would've violated team rules and failed to return several phone calls explaining his whereabouts.

    The excuse apparently was not good enough and head coach Tom Coughlin told the team this morning of the predicament and subsequent punishment.

    The suspension means Burress will miss two weeks worth of pay as well as next week's game vs. the Seahawks.

    In 2008, Burress has 18 catches for 259 yards and a touchdown. Last season he garnered massive respect for grabbing 70 balls for 1,025 yards and 12 TDs despite playing on a severely injured ankle. He's amassed four seasons of at least 1,000 yards receiving, two with the Giants and two with the Steelers. He opened this season with 10 catches for 133 yards on the Thursday night battle vs. the Redskins and at the time seemed worth every penny of his new deal.

    Just three weeks later, however, the Giants are left punishing the wideout instead of praising him.

                    Good for coach Coughlin for not letting him slide.

                        Kapt, not really. It's a loss but not a significant loss.

                        Steve Smith has played very well. Also, when the ball has been thrown his way Dominik Hixon has shined. This is Hixon's chance to show he can be a star. IMO he's a potential star in this league.

                            Smart move! Hixon can catch the ball. I said during Sunday's game vs. Bengals before season's end Hixon will start in place of Toomer.

                            He's also a good return man.
