Breaking News: Plax practices!

We interrupt the wall-to-wall coverage of Michael Strahan to bring you important news about someone who is, you know, actually on the team.

Plaxico Burress practiced fully for the first time in … well, it only seems like forever, but it’s for the first time since early in the week before Super Bowl XLII. That information was just released by the Giants a few moments ago. Practice is closed to the media, so we’ll have to take them at their word.

Burress, who has been out all summer with an injured ankle, said he felt “pretty good.” The key, of course, will be how he feels tomorrow. The team will be holding its breath waiting to see how Burress’ ankle responds.

“I decided to pull the old car out of the garage and see how I felt today – get some of the dust off of it,” Burress said in a statement released by the team. “I felt pretty good. I’m feeling a lot better – 100 percent. I didn’t have any limitations going either way, right or left. I jumped up and made a few catches. I’m just trying to get back to my old self – getting off the line full speed and being able to accelerate when the ball is in the air. I’m trying to get all the kinks out of the armor.

“I forgot how tough it is to run routes when you’re a little bit winded in the two-minute drill, even though I didn’t go but a few plays. It’s just good to get out there and run around again. I’m happy I can go out there and run without any pain. I’m basically trying to get into the best playing shape that I can and get my cardio up. I hope I feel pretty good tomorrow.”

You can take this FWIW...........

Saw on another mb that on WFAN this morning Boomer Esiason said he's learned from two sources that Plax agreed to a new deal several days ago............doesn't know why it hasn't been announced yet.

meh............

Because his agent wants him to save face...... don't want it announced that he has a new contract on the same day he finally practices... a little to conspicuous! Makes it seem like the contract issue is why he wasn't practicing in the first place.

Update from Garafolo's blog:

"I guess that's news to me. I wouldn't know nothing about it," Burress said. "But like I said, (the contract) will take care of itself. I'm just going to go out and continue to do the things I do on the football field, just try to be great each week, be consistent and just try to go out and make my team better any way I can. Everything outside of that will take care of itself."





Of course..............

Funny how his tune changed once the Giants told him, "we're not giving a long term contract to a guy who is constantly hurt. And uh Plaxico....you're STILL hurt right now."

Was this alleged deal signed on a grassy knoll?
Now news of a rumored deal on Sirius,Bob Papa would have been all over it as he says he reads BBI all the time(brings up Marty all the time,I must e-mail him to read this board instead).
I do have one theory,maybe a deal was in place in principle,but both Plax and Jerry put it on hold with the Strahan situation(Plax has said a few times that this winning thing is addicting)

Plaxico played hurt all last year but he has to prove that he is worth a long term contract. I hope it gets done because he seems to be Eli's favorite target.
