    Burress suspended



    EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP)—Super Bowl star Plaxico Burress was suspended for one game by the New York Giants on Wednesday for an undisclosed violation of team rules.
    Since the unbeaten Giants have a bye this weekend, Burress will miss the Oct. 5 game against Seattle. The suspension takes effect immediately, meaning Burress will not be allowed to return to team activities until the day after the Seahawks game.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

                    He could've at least contact the Giants. Whether I had a family emergency or not, if I don't contact my boss to let them know I won't be in to work, I would be punished as well.

                      I agree.

                        Depends on the emergency. If my family member was very ill a phone call would be the last thing on my mind. Maybe that's why he's filing.

                          So it was stated yesterday per espn.

                          Burriss has been involved in Domestic issues which was the link to his suspension.

                            link?

                            I want to see where they changed it from undisclosed family matter, to "domestic issues".

                              Please note: I realize it says this might not be related to his suspension. I'm simply providing a link to clearly explain what Sue could not.
