Mangatang 0 Posted October 15, 2007 Is there any chance that Plaxico won't play tonight? He's listed as questionable for his ankle, and he didn't practice at all this week. I know this happens every week for him, but does anybody know any news that might cheer me up? Â I'm nursing a small leading going into MNF, and my opponent has Plaxico.

mr.shitty 0 Posted October 15, 2007 Hes gonna play  Hes been questionable the last 3-4 weeks with the ankle and hasnt practiced much or at all... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TK0001 99 Posted October 15, 2007 How about you place an "Is" at the start of your thread title instead of needlessly alarming every Plax owner on this board? Â I hate that sh!t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BDuncan 3 Posted October 15, 2007 I almost shat when I saw this topic because I need Plax to get me some points tonight. Â They have been saying all week (and the last 3 weeks) that they would hold him out of practice so he would be as fresh as possible for the game. Thanks for the fire drill though.

A Dido Brother 0 Posted October 15, 2007 Thanks for getting my hopes up, I'm up against him tonight with a 12 pt lead. Â This is his routine: 1) Don't practice, 2) Listed as Questionable, 3) Go off for 95 yards and 2 scores. Yeah, I don't see myself winning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OuttaLuck 0 Posted October 15, 2007 I heard on the radio today (WFAN in NY) he'll be playing. Also, for what it's worth, here's a note from CBS Sportsline: Â Giants WR Plaxico Burress (ankle) is listed as questionable for Week 6 at Atlanta. He did not practice Thursday or Friday as the team prepares for Monday night. Burress did not practice all week leading up to Week 5 against the Jets, but did manage to start. He caught five passes for 124 yards and hauled in his seventh TD pass of the season. (Updated 10/12/2007). Â Injury Report Ankle - Questionable for Week 6 at Atlanta (Updated - 10/12/07) Â Fantasy Analysis Fantasy owners need to get used to seeing Burress on the injury report. The Giants have said they don't have to practice him to start him come the weekend. Plaxico has at least one touchdown in every game this season. He is clearly Eli Manning's favorite target and that has turned him into a must-start Fantasy option. He is expected to play Monday against the Falcons, but continue to follow the news for any setbacks. (Updated 10/12/2007). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Belushi 9 Posted October 15, 2007 I hope he sits out and gets some rest. I've already won this week with the most points by far - thanks LT and Housh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Busted by the Feds 9 Posted October 15, 2007 Twice this year Plaxico has even gone farther. Didn't practice all week, status unclear, yet ends up starting, doesn't get a stinking point in the 1st half, but ended up with over 100 yds. and a TD anyway. Go figure.

p00h 85 Posted October 15, 2007 need 40 yards for a tie, 60 for a win! Or a TD will put a quick end to it. Loss will mean end of season in this league. He best reprezent! Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewbieJr 541 Posted October 15, 2007 Are you blind? I clearly posted a "?" at the end of the heading, and a "?" for the icon. Question mark or not, it's still a misleading thread-title. "Any chance Burress doesn't play", "Will Burress play", or "Burress: Active or not", would all be better titles. Â You still can edit it if you want. It may save you from quite a bit of ridicule.

Ryedog 0 Posted October 15, 2007 I almost shat myself also when I read this thread. I am only up 5 points and my opponent has Toomer. If Plax does not play then Toomer is sure to be the #1 receiver! I dont need that Shat! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mephisto 15 Posted October 15, 2007 The question mark attached to the language of the subject line implies that the original poster heard/read/saw something related to Plaxico being out. Â It doesn't even remotely come close to implying that he was "just asking a simple question." Â :jerkoff: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

p00h 85 Posted October 15, 2007 BINGO! Did it work? Â Â I don't get my panties in a bunch about people posting sensationalized things to get attention. Or when they post asking opinion about a trade, or opinion on who they should play from a choice of players on their roster. its a message board, a free one at that. If you don't like it, move the funk on. Posting 'that belongs on teh help board' is an utter waste of your own time, no one elses. However, I can't for the love of Doritos understand the need for attention from people on this board. Everyone seems to be at least semi adults here. What is this underwhelming need for attention on the internet. Your post of BINGO! Did it work? reeks of an attitude of 'well if I didn't sensationalize it, no one would have noticed.' What are you gaining from this type of attention?!? I am very curious of this phenomena. I've seen the same thing on other messageboard communities, so its not something inherent to FF or sports. Fascinating phenomena. Would love to get a shrink's take on it, I'm sure someone here is one. Or they stayed at a holiday inn. Either way, chime in and shed some light...

mobb_deep 920 Posted October 15, 2007 Another idea for your thread title (as if you didn't have enough already). Â I hope Plaxico out because I need him to sit for my stupid fantasy team that none of you care about to win. I don't have any information pointing to him not playing, but will write this misleading title to get people to view my useless thread.
