NEW YORK.  Already facing jail time for a weapons violation, New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress is coming under new fire from women's groups for not tipping lap dancers who serviced him in the Latin Quarter Club where he shot himself in the leg, according to reports in today's Boston Herald.

Burress:  "I can't alk-tay ow-nay--I'm at the adium-stay."

"These are young women who play by the rules and work hard," said Elinor Pnaismith of WTUOF, Women Taking Umbrage Over Football.  "If you're going to quote me, maybe I should rephrase that."

Feagles:  "You want to sit on my lap?  Why?  There's another chair over there."

Burress, who signed a five-year $35 million contract after catching the winning touchdown pass in the Giant's Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots last season, reportedly paid lap dancers the minimum of $20, as opposed to $200 tips lavished on them by other players such as extra-point holder Jeff Feagles.  "These girls are so nice," said Feagles.  "They're a little old to be sitting on somebody's lap, but some people mature faster than others."

For his part, Burress was unrepentant.  "I don't see why I should pay in the first place," he said.  "I just axed the girl to sit on my lap and said let's talk about the first thing that comes up."
