Plax Playing Hookie

Plaxico Burress

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.

Something for Romeo to Think About

Derek Anderson

Derek Anderson after three starts has the worst QB rating in the entire league. Anderson and the Browns are currently 0-3 in large part due to the 43.5 QB rating and Anderson’s five interceptions. It’s still early, but the Browns season for all intent and purpose is over so shouldn’t they bring in Brady Quinn for some seasoning? I understand Anderson signed a hefty extension prior to the season, but if he isn’t getting it done then it’s time to make a change. Romeo Crennel has already announced Anderson is still the man this week, but Quinn will see more reps in practice. I feel if Anderson has a bad first half this weekend at Cincinnati then Quinn gets on the field for sure and maybe for the rest of the year.

The St. Louis Rams Suck

St. Louis Rams

The St. Louis Rams have been outscored in their first three games 116-29 by the Eagles, Giants and Seahawks. The sad thing is it doesn’t get any easier for the Rams because they face 3-0 Buffalo this week at home then at Washington, Dallas at home, at New England, Arizona at home and at the Jets in their next five games. The possibility of them going 0-8 is very high and I’m sure head coach Scott Linehan is brutally aware of the hot seat he currently resides on in St. Louis. I would like to point out that the Rams have a bye week after their game this Sunday against Buffalo so don’t be surprised if Linehan gets an early boot this year.

Beanie’s Out

Beanie Wells

Arguably Ohio State’s most important player Chris “Beanie” Wells has been deemed unable to play tonight in the biggest game of the young college football season against USC. Wells has been questionable at best for the last two weeks after injuring his toe two weeks ago against Youngstown State. This is a huge blow to Ohio State’s offense and opens the door for freshman quarterback Terrell Prior to see more action because it’s a must that Ohio State have playmakers in the game against the impressive USC defense. The line opened up at USC -7 and now that Wells is out some sportsbooks have the Trojans as a -13 favorite. Does Ohio State have a chance?
