The New York Giants have suspended Plaxico Burress for two weeks after he missed a workout Monday and didn’t answer any calls from the Giants. Drew Rosenhaus who is the agent for Plax said he missed the workout due to a family emergency and this is all just a big miscommunication. In the end Burress will only miss next week’s game since the Giants are off this weekend, but he will also miss out on over 200 G’s.

I have to admit I’m not buying the excuse conjured up by Rosenhaus because I think Plax felt like Peter Gibbons from Office Space felt about his job and just decided not to go due to a case of the Mondays. “I don’t like my job, and, uh, I don’t think I’m gonna go anymore. You’re just not gonna go? Yeah. Won’t you get fired? I don’t know, but I really don’t like it, and, uh, I’m not gonna go. So you’re gonna quit? Nuh-uh. Not really. Uh… I’m just gonna stop going.” Can’t you see Coughlin being a bit like Lumberg??? Ummm yeah.

It’s not bad enough the New York Giants are enduring three straight losses and now facing a very tough game this week at home against the Dallas Cowboys. The players seem to believe it’s also time to start a civil war in the process. In recent weeks Tiki Barber and Jeremy Shockey have blasted their coaches for play selections and direction, but now things are even taking a turn for the worse. Michael Strahan made some comments earlier in the week based on the lack of effort and desire Plaxico Burress has displayed on certain plays. Basically stating directly to the media Burress is “giving up on plays and quitting on everybody.” This is an ugly scenario that isn’t getting any better and at 6-5 the Giants can’t afford to continue down this path.
