I want to hear more about Plaxico Burress. I want to read about the suspended New York Giants wide receiver in this morning's newspapers.

Ah, yes, the Super Bowl. The Patriots came in with an 18-0 record, including a victory over the Giants in the season's final regular-season game, but couldn't finish the deal. Samuel, with a league-wide reputation as a big-play cornerback, didn't make the big play on the Giants' final drive, and Eli Manning's touchdown pass to Plaxico Burress won it for New York.
