The Giants suspended superstar Plaxico Burress for the rest of the season yesterday, ending any chance for the troubled wide receiver to help his teammates repeat as Super Bowl champs.
Burress, who shot himself in the leg while drinking in a Manhattan nightclub Saturday morning, is ineligible to play in the team’s remaining four games or the postseason.
“This is an important time for him to take care of his body and heal up, and also deal with the very serious legal consequences and other issues in his life,” Giants President John Mara said.
