Wide receiver Plaxico Burress has been voted the winner of the sixth annual George Young Good Guy Award by the Giants' chapter of the Professional Football Writers of America.

The award, named for the late general manager of the Giants, is given annually to honor a Giants player for his consistent and outstanding cooperation with the writers who cover the team on a daily basis. In his two years with the Giants, Burress has distinguished himself as a player who is always present and willing to speak with the media, regardless of the questions and circumstances.

Good Guy Award just because he always talks to the media.

Sounds like they should rename it the "I talk even when I should not award".

We should give that award to a player on our team.:laugh2:

Something about this feels, well....

....surreal.

 

[DragonCowboy]

I don't think Parcells ever won one in New York LOL

This is like picking your favorite log from a successful #2.


You mean the Giants couldnt find any better than this?

Michael Strahan and Tiki Barber would be in a tight race for that award.

I heard one reporter joke around that Strahan re-aggrivated his foot when he put it in his mouth.

What an abomination.

 

[Rampage]

wow! just wow!

 

[Future]

serious PR move right there. Trying to put Plax in a good light IMO.

The previous five winners:

2005 -- Tiki Barber
2004 -- Kurt Warner
2003 -- Ike Hilliard
2002 -- Kerry Collins
2001 -- Lomas Brown

If the past honorees are any indication, Plax will be a former Giant or retired by the end of next season.

Seems about right time to send him packing...

Take Jon Gruden out of that box ... he might suffocate.

It's a testament to how bad that locker room is when Plaxico Burress is raking in "Good Guy" awards.

TO could sign there next offseason and instantly be named the team captain.

 

[Clove]

Plaxabozo deserves nothing but a rib shot from Roy Williams.

 

[Hunter71]

Great...

He's "present and willing" to speak to the media but not "present and willing" to catch passes or finish plays...

Interesting...

I think that's the best way to put it, LTN.

Wow. Plexiglass wouldn't know a "good guy" if one walked up and kicked him in the ding-ding.
