plaxico burress

Week 7 stories I love: Plaxico Burress, Matt Ryan, Tim Tebow and DeMarco Murray.

Plaxico Burress is critical of Giants coach Tom Coughlin, quarterback Eli Manning and fans for the way they reacted when he was sent to prison on a gun charge in the October issue of Men's Journal.

Burress said in an interview with the magazine a few weeks before he signed with the Jets in July that he wished Coughlin had shown some concern when he met with him after accidentally shooting...

There he was, in a larger-than-life picture hanging on a wall, making the catch that beat the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl in 2008.

So much for being rusty. Plaxico Burress made his Jets debut and if it was any indication, he'll pay dividends, says Chris Burke.

Plus, Tim Tebow's decline and more preseason thoughts.

Plaxico Burress caught three passes, including a terrific over-the-shoulder 26-yarder for a touchdown, in his first game in nearly three years to help the New York Jets beat the Cincinnati Bengals 27-7 in a preseason game Sunday night.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) -- Plaxico Burress will have to wait at least another day before he returns to the football field.

Plaxico Burress has joined his New York Jets teammates on the team's first day of training camp. A day after signing, Burress stood on side while the Jets went through a light practice Monday.

Wearing a visor, gray long-sleeved T-shirt and Jets shorts, Burress talked with quarterback Mark Sanchez and fellow wide receiver Santonio Holmes.

Plaxico Burress had lots of time to dream about this day, even if it once seemed unlikely. The dark moments during those 20 months in prison were overcome by thoughts of reuniting with his family and catching passes again on the football field.

He'd be back, he insisted, and so would everything he lost with one big mistake.
