Police: Plax cursed out cop during traffic stop

At least this time Plaxico Burress was only shooting from the lip.
The pistol-packing punk fired a string of profanities at a deputy sheriff two weeks ago after he was stopped for erratic driving in Florida, police said.
"(Expletive) you! You're going to be in a lot of trouble. I know the sheriff personally," the receiver raged at Broward County Deputy Sheriff Donald Harris during the March 18 traffic stop, police said.
The embattled gridder (right) -- who was released by the Giants on Friday and faces 3? years in prison on a gun-possession charge after shooting himself in the leg at a Manhattan nightclub on Nov. 29 -- followed every question and command with a "(Expletive) you," according to the citation.
It appears Burress' driving is as wild as his shooting; the ticket was his fifth driving infraction in Florida in the past month alone.
In the March 18 incident near Fort Lauderdale, Burress, 31, was speeding south on I-95 in his black 2008 Toyota Sequoia at 10:30 a.m. when he crossed several lanes of traffic, cutting off vehicles to get on I-595's westbound ramp, police said.
Harris pulled over the car because Burress was driving like "he was going to kill somebody," according to police.
When Officer Harris approached, he couldn't see inside the tinted windows of Burress' SUV, so he opened a door and found the ex-Giant talking on his cellphone. "(Expletive) you! You can't open my (expletive) door!" Burress barked, police said. That's when Burress issued his boastful threat about knowing Broward County Sheriff Al Lamberti.
At one point, Harris asked Burress to get out of his car because of his "violent and aggressive" attitude, police said. The deputy wanted to see if the fuming, 6-foot-5 footballer was carrying a gun. Burress, who wasn't packing, complied. But he wasn't happy about it.
Eventually, Burress, who has a home in nearby Lighthouse Point, returned to his car, snarling, "You're going to hear about this by the end of your shift!"
But Burress was bluffing about his connections. The sheriff has "never met him," a police spokeswoman said.
Burress was hit with a $150 moving violation.
Two weeks earlier, on March 1, Burress was slapped with four violations for driving 60 mph in a 45-mph zone, improper tags, improper lane change and improper window tinting. Burress' gun-possession case has been adjourned until June 15.

What makes these people think they are so special and can do whatever they want?



Just because you wear a badge it doesn't give you the right to be harassing football players.

You make a good point. The five infractions in one month means that the cops are targeting him. :paranoid: Or racial profiling him in a conspiracy ranging all throughout Florida.:p

Plax is a d-bag but the Bears should be all over him after they just signed Cutler. Hester is not a #1 WR. No matter how good Cutler is he needs someone to throw to. Plax/Hester with Forte in the backfield seems to fit together pretty nicely.

It would be good, except it Plax goes to jail and misses the season. :p

Doubt anyone will be all over him until Plax reaches a bargin in his case the gives him an opportunity to play. If that can be reached, that is.

Per ESPN, Plaxico won his grievance, and will be paid $1 million by the Giants for the time he was suspended.

It sounds like some better language needs to go into player contracts. If somebody does something truly stupid and/or illegal to make the team and/or league suspend them, they shouldn't get their full salary.

From an article when the grievance was filed by the NFLPA:

NYDailyNews

It is believed the union objects to the fact that Burress will lose nearly one-quarter of his $3.5 million salary ($823,529) and that the Giants might be considering withholding the final, $1 million payment of his $4.25 million signing bonus.
On top of that, the Giants have fined Burress an undisclosed amount for his actions. Under CBA rules, they are allowed to fine him one week's pay ($205,882).
That means the final cost for Burress could be as much as $2,029,411. And that doesn't include any future lost wages or bonuses if the Giants cut him after the season.
