NFL News & Notes: Giants suspend WR Plaxico Burress
- The New York Giants have suspended WR Plaxico Burress one game because of insubordination. Burress didn’t show up for a team meeting on Monday and then wouldn’t answer his phone Tuesday. The Giants are on a bye this week and Burress will not play next Sunday in Seattle. (FoxSports.com)
Update: Burress has filed a grievance against the Giants for docking him two weeks of pay.
- The Rams released starting CB Fakhir Brown. Less than a week ago Brown had replaced Tye Hill in the starting lineup, so the news of his release is surprising. Although at this point, nothing should surprise any of us about the Rams. (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
- The Bears cut former second round draft pick, Mark Bradley. The former Oklahoma product was productive early in his career but after tearing his ACL, Bradley just never recovered. (ChicagoBears.com)
- It’s official: Browns’ head coach Romeo Crennel will stick with QB Derek Anderson this week when the team travels to Cincinnati. Anderson lit up the Bengals last year, but he’ll be on a short leash this week. Brady Quinn is warming up as I type. (Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Burress is an enigma. He just signed a big contract, the Giants are 3-0 and he’s pulling this bullshit? And of course now fantasy owners will be without his services for two weeks instead of one.
Another “ME” professional athlete.
Given his performance last year, Anderson deserves one more chance to start in Cleveland. That said, they should fire Romeo!
They’re all divas. There’s no coincidence in the fact that this jerk has the same agent as Owens. These guys have the world by the balls but it’s never enough for them…they always have to push the envelope. The Giants informed him this no practice b.s. wouldn’t be tolerated any longer at $11M and they wouldn’t punish with just fines, they would suspend him. So he decided to see if they were really serious and got everything he deserved.
Another ego-child that puts himself before the team.
