Back To Football…And Plax

So, the Giants announced their preseason opponents, but three of the four dates have yet to be determined. What we do know is they’ll start off the exhibitions with a nationally-televised contest against the Carolina Panthers on Monday, Aug. 17, on ESPN. Because a team cannot begin training camp more than 15 days before its first preseason game, the Giants will report to Albany the weekend of Aug. 1-2, meaning camp will start at its latest date ever. Second in line now is 1987, when rookies reported to Pace University on July 27 and vets reported July 31.
They’ll go to Chicago for the Bears in preseason Week 2 before coming home for the traditional Week 3 joust with the Jets. The Giants will be hosting that one. Week 4 concludes the preseason activity with a visit to the Patriots.
The exact dates will be announced in the future.
******************************************
For all you Plaxico Burress fans out there, he goes before the judge at Manhattan Criminal Court tomorrow on his two felony weapons possession charges. No exact time, but the hearings start at 9:30 a.m. Could be just a short appearance to set a trial date, or a longer one if he cops a plea.
Remember, court houses are places of public meeting, so you can watch as long as the courtroom isn’t full to capacity.
Best part—no PSLs.

No PSLs? Really? Do you have any idea how much it costs to be a member of the public around here, with Bllomy, and Patty and Bammy raising taxes and MTA raising fares. I would prefer the PSL system – that way if you don’t ant it, you don’t pay for it.
You have to think that Plax has surrounded himself with a good attorney who will make sure he gets in as little trouble as possible.
I’m sure court and coping a plea deal will be relatively uneventful compared to what King Goodell has in store.
