The New York Giants have suspended Plaxico Burress for two weeks after he missed a workout Monday and didn’t answer any calls from the Giants. Drew Rosenhaus who is the agent for Plax said he missed the workout due to a family emergency and this is all just a big miscommunication. In the end Burress will only miss next week’s game since the Giants are off this weekend, but he will also miss out on over 200 G’s.

I have to admit I’m not buying the excuse conjured up by Rosenhaus because I think Plax felt like Peter Gibbons from Office Space felt about his job and just decided not to go due to a case of the Mondays. “I don’t like my job, and, uh, I don’t think I’m gonna go anymore. You’re just not gonna go? Yeah. Won’t you get fired? I don’t know, but I really don’t like it, and, uh, I’m not gonna go. So you’re gonna quit? Nuh-uh. Not really. Uh… I’m just gonna stop going.” Can’t you see Coughlin being a bit like Lumberg??? Ummm yeah.

Derek Anderson after three starts has the worst QB rating in the entire league. Anderson and the Browns are currently 0-3 in large part due to the 43.5 QB rating and Anderson’s five interceptions. It’s still early, but the Browns season for all intent and purpose is over so shouldn’t they bring in Brady Quinn for some seasoning? I understand Anderson signed a hefty extension prior to the season, but if he isn’t getting it done then it’s time to make a change. Romeo Crennel has already announced Anderson is still the man this week, but Quinn will see more reps in practice. I feel if Anderson has a bad first half this weekend at Cincinnati then Quinn gets on the field for sure and maybe for the rest of the year.

The St. Louis Rams have been outscored in their first three games 116-29 by the Eagles, Giants and Seahawks. The sad thing is it doesn’t get any easier for the Rams because they face 3-0 Buffalo this week at home then at Washington, Dallas at home, at New England, Arizona at home and at the Jets in their next five games. The possibility of them going 0-8 is very high and I’m sure head coach Scott Linehan is brutally aware of the hot seat he currently resides on in St. Louis. I would like to point out that the Rams have a bye week after their game this Sunday against Buffalo so don’t be surprised if Linehan gets an early boot this year.
