    I'm gonna be driving from Jersey too. This will be my 6th year traveling up there. Where in jersey are u coming from? Section 137 row 2 I think....

    I'm coming from Essex county. I live in Livingston, about 15 minutes away from Newark. My personal best was 5 1/2 hours. Granted I was hauling major ass once I hit the thruway. Do you take the PA or NY state route?

    I also live in NJ, about 15 minutes from the stadium. Giants and Jets fans are like night and day. For the most part, jets fans are trashy scumbags who have the little brother complex about being new york's "other" team. Giants fans are just ball busters, but they are generally a classier bunch. You'll have a good safe time im sure.

    Buress to a NY team only?!?!

    In 2004 Plax was suspended by the Steelers for missing a mandatory team activity.

     

    So in 2008 Burress was upset about his contractual status and skipped a mandatory minicamp. For that he was fined $42,000. When he returned to practice he was said to be faking an ankle injury so he wouldn't have to participate.

     

    He has also had numerous unexcused absences from practices. After one such incident he was suspended for two weeks by the Giants and fined $235,000. Shortly thereafter his wife Tiffany brought abuse charges against Plaxico… this was her second complaint against him.

     

    He was also given use of a car from a dealership in return for making public appearances at the dealership. He took the car, never made any public appearances, and the car was finally repossessed… in damaged condition.

     

    There is a civil lawsuit pending against Plax because he got in a car accident 3 days after letting his car insurance lapse. The woman he ran into with his Benz received injuries in the accident in addition to the damage to her car.

     

    According to the AP, Burress has been sued at least 9 times for not paying money owed to others.

     

    He also had a spotty history at Fork Union Military Academy which he attended for one year after high school in an attempt to bring some structure and discipline into his life.

     

    I also remember reading that during his time with the Giants, that he had been late to practice or meetings over 20 times.

     

    Basically, the guy is a piece of ****.

     

    From 2004-2009, i worked at JR Cigars in whippany, new jersey. Plaxico came in one day during a giants practice or camp, or whatever (i was told by some NYG fans i worked with). It was during that period where he said he had a bad ankle. The guy was smoking cigars, drinking expensive wine and clearly not limping. MOFO was tall as hell though. Sidenote, Brett Favre came in to buy a bottle of wine one day when he played for the jests. He really does wear wranglers.

    I think when you're already "set" with positional players, you can go by BPA. I see the argument to do so, but damn, can you do this every year? What if the BPA every year is a WR? How many will you take in a row JUST because he's the BPA? I like Green a lot, but he's a positional player that wont ever see the ball if Fitz doesn't have blocking and/or the D can't get off the field.

     

    People will argue against this (COOL!), but if there's another player there worthy (or very, very close to it) of the #3 pick that we NEED to have DT, DE, LB, RT as opposed to a WR (that we DON'T NEED), that's who I think we should grab. Green would have to be off the charts better than everyone around him. And, I hope the Bills are following a plan of some sort when there building this roster...

    This has always been my argument. Sometimes you need to adjust or tweek your mentality. The counter to this is when people say, well we drafted for need for so many years and it failed. Thats because you had a regime that was practically drafting a track and field team. Nix know his stuff, but he really needs to reconsider his BPA thinking. What if when the Packers pick, the BPA is a QB? It would be ridiculous. Maybe if Nix says, well, BPA is AJ Green, but we drafted Easley, Stevie is showing elite potential, and teams still gameplan for Evans..maybe lets do the 2nd BPA. I dont know, im not apart of the war room, but it just seems silly to me.
