That's a good point. If you read the Post article, his agent talks about how much of this type of thing or worse gets swept under the rug.

I think it was a little much, maybe fine him a little but suspension from a game, he hasn't run into the law before has he?

Oh for shame. For shame on you.

He did miss practices when he was in Pitt. Stuff like skipping Mother's Day practice without telling Cowher. I don't think he's had any major run-ins with the law...

That a new team? the Stealers...sounds intimidating.

Anyway, Plax is somewhat of a troublemaker, that's why Pittsburgh got rid of him. He's not that bad, but he's difficult.

But in this case, if it was a legit family emergency, then the Giants overreacted. A two-game suspension is rediculous regardless. He's their star receiver and they need him. Stupid move on their part. Having said that, I have a feeling there is more to this story than we know.

No, you're getting the Black team and the Mexican team confused.

You're thinking of the Los Angeles Beaners.
