Giants open to Plaxico return

On Wednesday, Giants general manager Jerry Reese, who helped engineer last season's Super Bowl run, said that if Burress survived a blizzard of legal issues, he could be a Giant in 2009. "Provided he plays by Giants rules," Reese said. Without going into detail, Reese said the Giants' front office was on the same page about Burress's possible future with the Giants -- namely that he had one -- provided he was not in jail and provided he had a 180-degree attitude adjustment. These are huge ifs. The fact that the Giants are considering taking Burress back is either a sign of tremendous loyalty or of a reluctance to publicly kick a man when he is down.

The guy made a stupid mistake.... There's no need to kick him off the team... I'm glad to hear this.

I would also like to know, which man out there in his twenties has never stuffed a pistol in his pants?

I am glad to see the Giants have not ruled out Buress' return to the team. He did not do anything that put anyone but himself in harm's way. What he did was stupid but it may be what he needed to change his attitude. If this is the case then he will be an even bigger superstar in the NFL next year assuming he does not end up in jail.

He can come back and play when he gets out of prison. Just like Vick will.

I would say that probably most men haven't. Is that really so common where you live? If so, I think it's time to move.

That would be me Chico....not interested in killing "devices". Has a lot to do with upbringing. I never had a gun in my house....of course could have something to do with my father shooting off two fingers when he was a kid, (hunting).

Sorry - you're point is the minority I am sure.

Exactly - The Giants are just being politically correct and covering their bases.

I have a lot of buddies that hunt, I dont think I have any that "pack". I am sure there are circumstances that it is required. We will probably see more and more insanity as the economy gets worse.

If an "ALL CONVICT" team was started, he would be an excellent choice to play WR.

QB - Vick
RB - Maurice Clarett

Point taken.... Coming up, we even had a "Gunslinger Law" in MS... Any registered firearm could be taken anywhere without having to be consealed.
