Bye, Bye Burress

[West Coast Duffer]

There needs to be more clauses in the contract to cut players loose for conduct. The players have way to much control.

MMMMM the Cowboys could be interesting with 3 probowl receivers.

Until Romo hurts his wittle finger again,

Hope he is gone for good.

Burress to be charged

Lawyer to AP: Burress expects plea Monday - NFL - Yahoo! Canada Sports

Hopefully Pierce gets out of this and learns his GD lesson. As for Burress, Giants can do without him. It's a shame, really. This guy is looking at having ruined a career that was headed for HOF #'s and possibly an integral part of a Giants dynasty. At least a string of very good Giants teams, starting with the biggest Superbowl upset in history.

Plus, how big an asshat does a guy need to be to accidentally shoot himself in the leg? A bigger tool at this point would be hard to find.

He's a great receiver tho. And that, as I mentioned before, looms larger for the NFL.

He'll get a slap on the wrist and be back in 6 weeks.

I don't know about that one. That handgun charge carries a little more than the average slap.

 

[LyleG]

This will be a minimum 1 year suspension for the gun charge. My guess is the Giants release him before next Sunday.

Strahan was doubting it.

I think the big question is, "How long will he serve, if at all?"

Yep. You guys are forgetting that these guys aren't like the rest of us. They are on a completely different level.

I mean, can you justify paying a guy 50 million bucks and he can't even spell his own name? :ugly25:

It can be easily justified from a business standpoint. You pay him 50 million, he brings in 100 million. This means he is worth every penny. Writing his name means shit to you at that point.

He went to court today. Released on $100K bail. Charges carries a minimum 3 1/2 yrs. prison time. Ouch.

 

[LyleG]

Yep, saw a few laywer on TV talking about it. Said NY has really been making a stand on guns, and that Burress shouldnt expect any special treatment at all. In fact he may become the poster boy for look what can happen regardless of who you are.

Unless he's released with probabation with orders to be a role model.

You heard it here first. The NFL is bigger than NY.
