Burress never lost his legacy. Giants fans and I for the most part still respect the dude. He made a big mistake; a self inflicted wound! He didn't harm anybody. Love the guy with all my heart as if I knew him personally. Made my childhood watching the Giants great.

NYC has draconian gun laws. They are typically enforced broadly. In most other states in America at that time, what he did would be a misdemeanor. Most likely it wouldn't have been charged at all and if it was, he would only pay a fine at WORST. Nowadays, several states don't even require a license to carry a firearm.

Ask any Giants fan, if Plaxico finished the season in 2008, we would've won the Super Bowl. Before he shot himself, we were the best team in the league, we were 11-1 and couldn't he stopped. Once he was gone, there was no real threat to double cover and defenses could load up to stop the run. I feel for Plax and I know that most Giants fans still love him. Unfortunately when you think Plax you think two things; the game winner in 42 and what could of been for his career.

QuaytGang Well Jacobs and Ward that year were unbelievable. Eli didnt even have to do much most of the time. This team beat the SB champ Steelers 21-14. It beat the AFC Championship bound Ravens 30-10. The Cardinals 37-29. And the Eagles once. But the run game struggled like Gmenallday said once Burress left because there was no deep threat to worry about and they xould focus on the run game. They started 11-1 abd finished 12-4. Ut would be like this years team losing Beckham (Vikings game)

seems like a chill guy, I remember seeing him at MSU a few games and he was special back then
"Maybe I thought I was more important than I really was". Thats what happens when some become successful at their disciplines. He was extremely key to the Giants' offense and the Giants would of been strong favorites had he been on the team the next season.

If your opinion differs then just do it silently, we will agree to disagree no need to rant on my opinion.

We don't doll out punishment based on the worst hypothetical outcome of a crime. I can't think of any other examples where we do. Should have got 3-6 months if anything. I think he should have just been fined and maybe ordered to do community service and probation if anything at all.
