Thanks to our friends at PFT.com for breaking the story. Are we going to have a T.O. situation in the NYC? Here is the story. I will speak on it more later when I have more info, so be sure to come back to the site often as I will get the inside scoop of what really went down.
The New York Giants, who have followed their Super Bowl championship with a strong start to the 2008 regular season, have suspended receiver Plaxico Burress, according to Jay Glazer of FOX.
Per Glazer, Burress failed to show up for work on Monday, and he failed to respond by calls from the team aimed at obtaining an explanation for his unexcused absense.
It's a two-week suspension, but since the Giants are off on Sunday he'll only miss one game, against the Seahawks.
Burress was a key component of last year's Super Bowl run, and he played most of the season with a torn ligament in his ankle before catching the game-winning touchdown pass in Super Bowl XLII. He received a new contract in the hours before the regular-season opener against the Redskins.
He is scheduled to meet with team officials on Wednesday morning to explain himself.
Stay tuned.
