So much for a quiet bye week
Plaxico Burress has been suspended.
Burress didn't report for work on Monday and did not return messages left for him Monday or Tuesday, and the Giants aren't pleased one bit about it. General manager Jerry Reese and coach Tom Coughlin met with Burress this morning and informed him of their decision to suspend him.
"We had a meeting this morning," Reese just told us, "and it is what it is."
That's the extent of Reese's comments. He didn't have to much to say beyond the official statement that was released, underscoring that Burress would be allowed back with the team on Oct. 6.
We'll get to talk to Tom Coughlin after practice about 12:30 or so and then the locker room will be open afterward. We'll be back then with some reaction from the head coach and some of Burress' teammates.

Nice of you to join us this morning, sleeping beauty.
Dude, the Giants were off on Tuesday.
First of all - RIP Dick Lynch. Truly a NY Giants institution in his own right and he will be greatly missed.
As for Plax. He causes one dustup every couple of years and this was about the time for one. As for suspending him, well look at it this way: the Giants are certainly deep enough at wideout to make it through a game without him.
