Burress: ‘I will play again’
Posted by GameSetMatch on February 3rd, 2010
In an interview set to air Sunday on CBS, imprisoned Plaxico Burress vows to return to the NFL and said he apologized to the New York Giants for tarnishing the organization.
“I will play again,” Burress said in the interview with his former Steelers coach, Bill Cowher, scheduled to air on CBS’ “NFL Today.”
The interview was conducted from the upstate New York prison where the receiver is currently incarcerated after pleading guilty to attempted weapons possession in the second degree.
Burress said he works out about four times a week in the prison to keep in shape for a possible comeback.
“It’s not LA Fitness or Bally’s, but I do push-ups, sit-ups,” Burress said in the interview. “I make do.”
Burress was sentenced to two years in prison. He is expected to serve about 20 months with credit for good behavior — meaning he could be released as early as spring 2011 — followed by two years of probation.
Burress said he wrote a letter to Giants owners John Mara and Steve Tisch apologizing for his actions.
