There were some people telling Bloomberg at the time to shut up,all the facts are'nt out yet.Jack Ford was saying he's sure he won't do time.I think that you'll never ever see him again for the Giants and it won't count against the cap.

And your time here was so short. Nice knowing ya. Or not.

Re: Plaxico Shot in Club
 

I am hoping AP was put in charge of Plax for the night. What the hell is he doing hanging with this idiot? Now he has himself all caught up in the Plax crap and probably ends up suspended at best and in jail at worst. Even the smart athletes make dumb decisions it seems.

Why won't his numbers count against the cap?

Re: Plaxico Shot in Club
 

my take on this is he wasn,t thinking at all..he better be thankful it wasn,t worse than that but it was still stupid on his part...late night/early morning in the club with a firearm is asking for trouble anyway you look at it in my opinion. so what should the giants do..simple show him the door and say thanks but we have some unfinished buisness to attend to as a team and your not welcomed.... the nfl and the state of new york city will do what right hopefully and plaxico will get everything straightened out..
just plain stupid if you ask me and he has a world of talent but don,t know how to use it in the proper manner..

JMHO

Re: Plaxico Shot in Club
 

I just heard on the radio that AP was suppose to meet with the police on Monday but was a no show. I'm sure he has an Aty. telling him what and what not to do but standing up the detectives does not seem like a very smart move when they could be the ones pressing charges.

Re: Plaxico Shot in Club
 

The Giants were smart with the contract they gave Plax:

Giants GM Jerry Reese negotiated a great contract to lock up Burress before the season, making it about as safe a deal as he could, with miniscule guarantees. The Giants can cut or trade Burress after the season and simply eliminate $23 million of the $27-million-in-new-money deal he signed with the Giants. In effect, as I said on NBC last night, when I examine the deal, I see the contract totally on the come. And the first big test of this contract will come on Dec. 10, when Burress is due $1 million from the original and only guaranteed money in the deal, the third installment of a $4.325-million signing bonus when he signed. Let me break down all of the non-guaranteed money in the Burress deal that makes it absolutely simple for the Giants to cut the cord with him after the season:

• Non-guaranteed base salaries: $11.5 million ($1 million in 2009, $3.5 million in 2010, $3.5 million in 2011, $3.5 million in 2012).

• Non-guaranteed one-time bonus to be paid early in the '09 off-season: $2 million.

• Non-guaranteed roster bonuses: $3.5 million ($500,000 in '09, $1 million in 2010, $1 million in 2011, $1 million in 2012).

• Non-guaranteed escalators, payable only on high performance: $5 million ($1.25 million in '09, '10, '11, '12.) He has not reached his escalators yet that would kick in for 2009.

• Non-guaranteed workout bonuses: $1.3 million ($325,000 in '09, '10, '11, '12).

Burress also has a clause in his contract that could come into play and cost him $400,000 this year. For every game he's ineligible to play in because of non-injury reasons, he doesn't earn a $100,000 per game roster bonus.

Awfully sad. "Trouble just follows him,'' said Bucs cornerback Ronde Barber. No one over the weekend was arguing.

Re: Plaxico Shot in Club
 

Well the good news for Plaxico is that after he serves his time the Cowboys will probably be calling him. :)
