I’m sure Tom Coughlin loves this news out of New Jersey. Some of you may remember reports of a large New York Giants contingent frequenting strip clubs and leaving without tipping. But this news surrounds Plaxico Burress. According to AOL Sports Blog and Deadspin, Burress angrily left a New Jersey bar without paying a $2,000 tab. The reason? Plax wasn’t getting any play.
Sources say New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress insulted female patrons there and “left the club without paying his $2,000 tab.”
It seemed that Burress was upset Wednesday night because “no women were paying any attention to him.”
What an offseason this has been for the Giants. First, their franchise running back walks away at the peak of his career. Then their career sack leader gets punked by his wife in a divorce hearing. And now there’s Plaxico Burress, a receiver that, while supremely talented, doesn’t know when to shut up and play football. All night long, Plax and his crew downed Grey Goose and bottles of Dom Perignon. And all night long, Plax was unable to escape the cockfest that was his posse.
It’s hard to believe a professional athlete could strike out at a bar in New Jersey but that’s the case we have here. It may have helped matters if Burress didn’t act like a complete jackass all night. Reports say that a male fan raced home to retrieve his Burress jersey, only for his autograph request to be snubbed by #17. Next time Plax, just make it rain. That’ll attract the hoes. Just don’t slam their head into the stage.
