I heard this on the local news yesterday and looked up the article on TBO. Raheem Morris apparently gave Plax a call and in an interview stated that he would love see Burress in a Buc's uniform.

We gotta wait, obviously, and see what's up with his legal issues and then again for his NFL punishment (if any).

Bryant, Burress and Winslow does sound awesome.

The Bucs, the Jets, whoever can be on the "Plaxico Watch" all they want. They may be wasting their time.

Did anyone catch Bob Papa's SIRIUS show this morning?

This is what he said:

"This is what I've been told and what I've heard. They worked out something where they had it down to about a three-month jail term with actually only two months served and about 1,500 hours of community service. And I think his lawyers felt that they had a pretty good deal. He doesn't want to go to jail at all. He shot down the deal."

"He does not want to go to jail at all," Papa said on the air. "So now coming up in another couple of weeks we're gonna find out what's gonna happen. But my guess is that the city of New York is not gonna back off any kind of jail time."

"Evidently, he's gonna have to go to Riker's Island," Papa said. "He's deathly afraid of going. ... If he would have just taken the deal when it originally was offered it would all be over with by now. But supposedly the community service hours and the jail time are not appealing to him. He does not understand that he is not in any kind of position of leverage. He has no leverage. He -- not his representatives -- he thinks he has leverage."

Papa would not make this up nor would go on the air unless he was pretty freaking sure it was true. I mean, he's a damn play-by-play caller for the G-Men and he works for the NFL Network.

PFT's Mike Florio, where I first read about this stuff this morning, opined:
"Burress thinks he can get off because his lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, got Sean "Puffy" Combs off on similar charges. But ...There are two key differences between the two cases."

"For Combs, the unlicensed and loaded weapon that he allegedly had in his possession didn't fire. More importantly, Brafman destroyed on cross examination the witnesses who claimed that Combs pointed a gun at them.

"For Burress, Exhibit A is the scar from where the bullet entered his leg. Exhibit B is the scar from where it exited. Add a dash of testimony from folks like former teammate Antonio Pierce who'll confirm that the scars were obtained when a gun in Plax's possession went off inside a Manhattan night club, and no amount of legal hocus pocus or mumbo jumbo ... will keep a reasonable jury from concluding that Burress is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt."
