Bye, Bye, Plaxico

The New York Giants has released firearms enthusiasts Plaxico Burress.

Ever since Plaxico stuffed an unlicensed gun down his waistband and shot himself at a New York nightclub, his status has been uncertain with the Giants.

"I am an optimist, and I believe most situations can be worked out," general manager Jerry Reese said in announcing the decision. "We hung in there as long as we could in hopes that there could be aresolution to this situation other than the decision we made today to release Plaxico.

"It wasn't to be, so now we have to move on. Like everybody else here, we want nothing but the best for Plaxico, and we are appreciative of the contributions he made to this franchise."
So who does the Giants replace him with? They will definitely have to look at the draft for a replacement.

And where does he end up? Philadelphia? They need a receiver. What about San Francisco? They could use a deep threat. I am sure Plaxico will land on his feet somewhere in the NFL.

Cowboys Release T.O.

According to ESPN and now multiple media sources, the Mothership in Dallas has released receiver/troublemaker Terrell Owens.

The Cowboys will take a $9 million hit to dump the 35-year-old receiver.

The Cowboys finally realized that you cannot build a team around a prima donna, who drops to many balls. I am just surprised that Jerry Jones was man enough to admit, his mistake. It must have hit his ego as hard as him dumping Pacman. I wonder if his plastic surgery-induced face can recover?

Now who is going to pick up T.O.? Will they want a headcase? Will T.O. do situps in his driveway? Will he cry again at another press conference? Will he ever stand on the Dallas star again? All these questions will be answered in the coming months.
