Police: Burress has profanity-laced tirade during latest traffic stop
Former Giants receiver Plaxico Burress has been cited for five traffic violations in the past month in Florida, and the last one came with a profanity-laced tirade against a police officer, the New York Post reports.
Burress, released on Friday by the Giants, also faces 3-1/2 years in prison on weapons charges in New York. Broward County deputy sheriff Donald Harris stopped him on March 18 for speeding and driving recklessly.
When Harris approached Burress' SUV, the receiver said (via the Post), "F- - - you! You're going to be in a lot of trouble. I know the sheriff personally."
Police told the Post that Burress answered every communication from Harris with "F--- you."
Harris claimed he stopped Burress, who crossed several lanes of traffic to access an exit, "like he was going to kill somebody."
Burress claimed to know Broward Country Sheriff Al Lamberti and told Harris, "You're going to hear about this by the end of your shift!"
A sheriff's department spokeswoman told the Post that Lamberti had never met Burress.
The receiver, who e-mailed ESPN with gracious comments about his time in New York after his release on Friday, appeared at the Final Four on Saturday. Asked about being let go by the Giants, Burress told ESPN "I feel great."

Boy I hate to start another TO thread, but I just can't help myself.
HTH could the Giants manage to deal with this ****** who only has half Owens' talent, win a SB doing it and then only release him when facing jail time.
They could do all that, but we couldn't handle our pain in the butt, yet talented and law abiding receiver!

Sadly, this completely typical behavior for Plax the Punk... as I've mentioned before, I once met a police officer from down in the Virginia Beach area, and he got to talking about the things Burress did (Plaxico is from that area)...
Among the stories I was told was the summer after his rookie season, he went back home, and got stopped by the law a number of times because he and his crew were aggressively panhandling the tourists...
Think about that, the guy had already cashed in big, he clearly wasn't doing it for the money... instead, it would seem that he liked playing the punk, perhaps he enjoyed seeing the fear in those tourists' eyes...
Plaxico Burress is a stone waste of DNA, always has been, and probably always will be...

You should have seen the look on the cop's face when he was telling those stories... pure contempt...
I was old enough that I knew about top athletes who developed an "I'm above the law attitude" way back in high school, but I was still shocked to hear how this guy acts...
Of course, carrying a concealed, unregistered weapon in the waist band of his pants at a club is just the type of thing he'd do... as is, apparently, cussing out cops who are just doing their job... that seems to be something he's been doing since a tender age...
If he does wind up doing time, and has ruined a promising and lucrative career, I'll consider it karma...
Maybe he and Vick can share an apartment in their old age, that would be a bit of karma too...
