ESPN landed the first sit down interview with Plaxico Burress before he is sentenced to jail next month.

The entire interview can be seen on E:60 on Tuesday on ESPN.

You can watch a clip from the interview here.

Just from the couple of minutes I have watched, he comes off more sincere than Michael Vick.

Plaxico Burress Pleads Guilty, 2 Years in Prison

Just when one NFL player is putting his legal problems behind him, another one is getting ready for an orange jumpsuit.

Plaxico Burress pleaded guilty on Thursday to weapons charges and was sentenced to two years in prison.

So much for turning down that three-month plea deal.

You can kiss that NFL career goodbye, Plaxico.

His attorney, Benjamin Brafman, made a great point today saying if Plaxico was a regular guy, he probably would have never been arrested.

While this might be true, leave the gun at home if you know extra eyeballs are going to be in your direction.

In terms of how this compares to Vick’s crime, his actions were still more heinous and twisted than Burress.

Plaxico is guilty of just being a big ol’ dummy.

Plaxico Burress Guilty Of Being A Dummy

The Plaxico Burress saga continues as the wide receiver was indicted on two counts of criminal possession of a weapon and one count of reckless endangerment on Monday in New York City.

He should have just been indicted on one count for being a dumb ass in the club.

Anyone who is reckless and dumb enough to shoot themselves in the leg has served enough punishment as it is.

His former teammate, Antonio Pierce, escaped without any charges from the grand jury and will avoid a league suspension from the NFL.

The unemployed Burress faces a minimum sentence of 3 1/2 years in prison if convicted.

Steroids is to baseball what is crime to the NFL.

Is anyone surprised anymore to hear (insert football player name here) is in trouble with the law?

When Plaxico is getting his 33 months behind bars, the next NFL star will get popped for a DUI or beating his wife and we will have another legal issue on our hands again.

And Roger Goodell will continue to drop the hammer.

Yawn.

Are you ready for some football?

Jets Interested In Plaxico Burress?

Published by vanderbergm on Monday, April 27, 2009 at 10:23 am.

From Giant Blue to Jets Green?

Well, that is if Plaxico Burress can avoid Prison Pinstripes.

The New York Jets contacted Plaxico Burress’ agent before the NFL Draft this past weekend.

Rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez, who the Jets traded up to select on Saturday, could use a 6-foot-5 target to throw to on Sundays.

With the Jets lacking experienced wide outs aside from Jerricho Cotchery, it’s no surprise they are showing interest in Burress, despite his legal woes.

Plaxico should have a better idea of if he will be able to play during the 2009 season after his June 15 court date.

His attorneys have been working on a plea agreement for Burress’ gun charges stemming from last year’s incident at a NYC nightclub.

But let’s be honest, even if Plaxico can skate past the New York D.A., he still has to get past NFL commish Roger Goodell.

Is Plaxico Burress worth the headache for the New York Jets?

Plaxico Still In Search Of Plea Deal

Published by vanderbergm on Tuesday, March 31, 2009 at 2:02 am.

Things aren’t looking good for New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress.

Burress, who is facing two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a loaded and unlicensed weapon, has been desperately seeking a plea deal with authorities before a scheduled court hearing on Tuesday.

As of Monday night, no deal had been reached. Tuesday’s court hearing will involve postponing the proceedings to a later date.

Even in a best-case scenario, Burress will still have to serve prison time as the New York District Attorney is looking to put away the star NFL wide-out for at least 12 months.

Out goes Michael Vick, in goes Plaxico Burress.

When you factor in the jail tme and a lengthy NFL suspension from Roger Goodell, Plax can all but kiss the 2009 season goodbye.

One And Gun: Plaxico Done For The Year

Published by vanderbergm on Tuesday, December 2, 2008 at 6:49 pm.

Plaxico Burress

Plaxico Burress can kiss the 2008 season goodbye.

The New York Giants suspended the bonehead wide receiver for four games and was placed on the non-football injury list after shooting himself in the thigh with a gun at a New York night club last weekend.

How long before the Giants terminate his contract and waive him?

The next team (and trust me, someone will sign him) will also have to deal with a possible NFL suspension once commissioner Roger Goodell comes up with his latest plan to teach the rest of his players a lesson.

Giants WR Plaxico Burress Suspended

Published by vanderbergm on Wednesday, September 24, 2008 at 10:36 am.

Plaxico Burress

All you fantasy football geeks, you might want to bench New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress next week.

Burress was suspended for one game by the Giants for an undisclosed violation of team rules.

He will sit out when Big Blue takes on the Seattle Seahawks on Oct. 5.

Not what New York needs after getting out to a 3-0 start.

According to Foxsports.com, Burress did not show up to work on Monday or return phone calls from the team.

If you and I don’t show up to work, we are probably getting fired.

Plaxico doesn’t show up and he gets the week off.

Mix-in a phone call next time, #17.
