After his trial got going (and
was delayed) it was expected the Giants would cut wide receiver Plaxico Burress, who
shot himself in the leg at a club last year and whom
the Mayor wants put in prison. Today
the Giants confirmed they have released him. Our own
Allen Barra thought Burress' strengths on the field outweighed the baggage he carries, and
so did his teammates (well, on the record, and
not all of them) and the
Players' Association, but apparently the Giants don't see it that way. No reason was given.
