The football New York Giants re-signed the malcontent and aloof Plaxico Burress right before the current season started and after his most recent 2 week suspension and the reporting that during his tenure with the Giants he's been fined by the team, for smaller infractions, some 40 to 50 times, it makes u wonder "What in the hell were the Giants thinking when they re-signed Burress?"

I know Burress made the game clinching TD catch during last seasons upset Super Bowl win over the Patriots (he only had 2 catches in the entire game); And some might say talent on the field trumps all when it comes down to organizational personnel decisions and there is a lot of truth in that but when it comes to Plaxico, his actions off the field should of trumped his on the field performance, considering he's not even the best receiver on his team (that distinction goes to Amani 'well dressed' Toomer, Eli Manning looks for Toomer when he needs a clutch catch). His rebuttal and explanation about why he never showed up for practice 2 weeks ago (and was subsequently fined and suspended for that action) and how he feels about it now is cause enough for the Giants to revoke his new contract and release him from the team immediately. He's lazy and has very little to no respect for his teammates and organization; I'm surprised they let it go this long. I know there would be a nightmare court case involved between Plaxico and the Giants, brought on by Plax and his lawyers, if the team were to take that disciplinary stand but some owner needs to show-up and say something and/or do something about these arrogant players(from all Professional Sports) who overvalue their importance to their team (i.e. Chad Johnson, Terrel Owens, Adam 'PacMan' Jones, Manny Ramirez-boston red sox, Stephon Marbury)

I remember a few years back when the Pittsburgh Steelers decided not to re-sign Burrress (another smart move by a team thats known for getting rid of problem 'lack of heart' players) and  upon hitting the free-agent market no team went aggressively after Plaxico to sign him to the deal--much to his dismay; during the 11th hour the Giants finally stepped up and signed him to a modest deal (Plax was looking to break the bank but all he really did was lightly tap it) now we all know why  Plaxico Burress gets no 'love' or 'respect' from his current teammates , he's a 'personality' fraud
