The Tea where Entertainment is Always Brewing!
The Tea where Entertainment is Always Brewing!
Former NFL player Plaxico Burress recently granted the New York Daily News an exclusive jailhouse interview, his first since being sent to prison almost a year ago!
According to the TEA, the New York Giants star wide receiver is in good health and is keeping a positive spirit about being released and returning to the NFL!!
“I’m not just going to come back and play. I’m going to come back and play at a high level, said Burress!”
Check out some of Plax’s interview with writer Wayne Coffey HERE…….
– Burress missed the birth of his daugther, who was born while he was in jail. He tells the Daily News that one of the most difficult parts of prison is having to answer his son’s questions about where he is and why he isn’t playing with the Giants. (Three-year-old Elijah is still a big Giants fan.)
– During his time in the yard, Burress sometimes runs routes and has fellow inmates throw him passes. They may not be as good as ones coming from Eli Manning(notes), but they can’t be much worse than the ones Burress used to catch from Kordell Stewart. “Everybody thinks they are Elway here,” he said.
– Burress has been visited in prison by Giants quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan and gets homemade salsa sent to him by Sullivan’s mother in San Diego. He has also received letters from current team general manager Jerry Reese and former GM Ernie Accorsi.
– Embattled Giants running back Brandon Jacobs(notes) calls Burress three times a week and has been supportive of Plaxico’s family during his incarceration.
Burress, who is doing time for shooting himself in a New York nightclub, was denied work release and is expected to be released from prison on June 6, 2011.
Upon his release, Plax plans to immediately return to the NFL.
I’m sure this is a hard lesson learned!
Dayum!!!
