The Super Bowl is about the parties almost as much as the focus on the game. Not only is there a week of fiestas leading up to the big game, but people often get together for viewing parties to watch the game. Even Plaxico Burress is getting in on …
After taking two years off from football, Plaxico Burress was able to convince the Jets to give him a shot last season. Overall, you could argue that it paid off. Burress caught 45 passes for 612 yards and was a strong red zone threat with eight …
Just before the two minute warning in the first half of their game with the Jets, Buffalo Bills receiver Stevie Johnson scored on a short five-yard slant. It was particularly impressive since he was covered by Jets’ star cornerback Darrelle …
Plaxico Burress spent 20 months in prison after infamously shooting himself in the leg at a club in 2008. He was released in June, eventually signed with the Jets, and he enjoyed his finest game of the season Sunday — a three touchdown …
All it took was a win over the winless Dolphins for the Jets to get their confidence back. Order has been restored in New York as the mouths of the 3-3 Gang Green are once again moving at a rapid pace. Just over a week ago, reports surfaced that …

Once a flake, apparently always a flake. This guy didn’t work as hard as he could have on the field for the Steelers otherwise he would have been an All-Pro with them. He came over to the Giants and was fined like 50 times and then shot himself …
I remember reading the same language recently, and it was regarding the Dodgers and Manny. Now that the Giants ended their season losing four of five games, including a playoff loss at home to the Eagles, Plaxico Burress has a ton of leverage. …
