Rosenhaus Talks Plaxico on MNF

The highlight of an otherwise forgettable game between AFC South disappointments Houston and Jacksonville could have been the halftime interview with Plaxico Burress' agent Drew Rosenhaus. It wasn't.

Rosenhaus talked in generalities, tried to put a happy face on a dire situation for his client and evaded point-blank questions about Burress in particular and NFL players in general carrying guns.

A portion of what Rosenhaus said..."I was with him last night. He's doing remarkably well considering he was shot. This is a very tough experience for him."

Rosenhaus said Burress would report to the Giants complex Tuesday to get treatment. The agent added that the Giants have been "remarkably loyal" to Burress so far and went as far as to say the team isn't even asking about Burress' football playing future or his contract, just showing concern for how Burress is feeling.

The cynic in me says that Rosenhaus is putting a rosy spin on things regarding the Giants approach to Burress so that the public might in turn temper its response to the lanky moron. Also, if Rosenhaus makes the Giants seem benevolent now, it may make them more hesitant to be Draconian later. Better than saying the Giants are being dinks about the whole thing so far.

Oh, yeah...the Texans lead Jacksonville 10-0.
