Seems to me the true definition of a “tool” is one who fails to realize that winning a bunch of games but zero championships still isn’t winning s#!t. The Burgh isn’t anyone’s pitstop…it’s s playground for champions! On top of that I don’t give a handful of goat pee how many pro bowlers Philly signs you’re never gonna win crap with Michael Vick as your qb…one fluke season does not s champion make!

Come back to your first love Plaxico. Your problems started after you left Pittsburgh. Come back home!!!!

You are the missing link!!! If we had you back last years superbowl would have been a different result.

Oh, and Limas Sweed should be selling dress coats at the Big & Tall men’s store…not running routes for an NFL team!

If he comes back, I predict a 2 Yr deal, worth around $2 mil a year (driven up by competing interests), he will start as the #3 with a fighting chance at #2 over Mike Wallace for the Slot Receiver. The guy may have been away for a while…but he does have talent & isn’t old, yet. Regardless of the fact that Hines is growing long in the tooth, he will almost certainly remain #1 this year. However, next season will likely be the start to his slide.

Eagles never win? Besides maybe indyand the pats no team has won more the past 10 years. Your right we haven’t won the big one since 1960. ,but we NEVER had a team this talented. So keep hating, we hands down had the best plan for free agency! But relax haters , after this year you’ll still say “you guys only won 1 super bowl”. Obviously pro bowl players think we can win, and if you can’t admit we’re the favorites then your a tool. We we’re 10-6 last year before DRC,Asomugha,Babin, VY,
Wash, Mudd,Lee and its not done yet. Hate your team for not making big moves

Hate steeler fans, love palinforpresidentofnorthkorea’s tag.

That being said, Plax would NOT be a 4th reciever in pgh. He would be #1 or #2 easily. It’s idiotic to think otherwise. Steelers would be getting a bargain and he very well could take them to another SB, god forbid.

I’m pretty sure that this “bringing in free agents for visits at a time when a team has a group of players at the same position who may wonder precisely what in the hell is going on” is not going on. I just don’t see Sanders, Wallace, Brown, and Ward worried. If the Steelers sign Plaxico he’ll know his role early and won’t be a distraction. He wasn’t a distraction in Pittsburgh the first time, he was a simply a cap casualty, there was no way they were going to pay him the kind of money he wanted.

I still kind of hope he goes to either Pittsburgh of the Giants, both great organizations.

@hobartbaker …

Sorry to question your insider info , but if the Steelers were that intensely interested in Roethlisberger’s feelings about Burress, they wouldn’t have let him go in the first place. They’re talking to him now because of the need for more weapons in the red zone and his expressed interest in the Steelers. He works out with Steelers receiver Antonio Brown, who says he’s in terrific shape. And he’ll come a lot cheaper than he once did. We can’t keep gambling on Sweed’s mental blocks over catching the ball.

@clavette …

The man just spent a ridiculous amount of time in prison given the nature of the “crime.” He has only a few years of NFL productivity left. Why would he want to come out of prison and spend even a month with a guy who treated him like a warden? Life is too short. Don’t know what he’ll do, but in his shoes, no amount of money could persuade me to work for Coughlin for a year or a day.

If Plaxico heads back to NY, it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s to play for Rex Ryan.

Giants clearly need him more. The Steelers went to 3 superbowls without him and Eli Manning has been very average without Plax bailing him out.

isn’t mad5555 funny?

TYPICAL EAGLE fan. Hasn’t won anything in 51 EFFING YEARS, FIFTY ONE YEARS!! But each year they start running their mouths.

Blah, blah this & blah, blah that & each year that same loser coach that is one of the worst big game coaches in NFL history is going to once again lead them to the promised land.

Free agency aside, how hard must it be to root for the Eagles?? FIFTY ONE EFFING YEARS- WOW – go ahead silly Eagle fans keep talking when February comes around & you have no Lombardi’s once again, Reid will have another excuse. Somethings never change..

Not in Philly please. We need to start spending money on O-Line/D-Line and LB corp. Plus we need to re-sign DJax.

” He needs to come back in BLUE where he belongs and it can be the feel good story of the decade if his presence pushes NY past the likes of the “best damn team that never won a Super Bowl” just over in PA.”

I think the giants should be more worried about giving new meaning to term “special” teams before they worry about a guy whos gonna play maybe 20 snaps a game. And maybe an offensive line would help.

And another thing i know its not New York but why does that aera of New Jersey always smell like pee?

Plax will be taken away from pitstop and newark, NJ to land with a team that actually has a shot at winning something this year. THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES!!!
Can you say Cliff Lee 2.0. Shoot, might as well say Namdi sweepstakes all over again. Players actually want to play for Philadelphia and are willing to take less money to do so. Cliff Lee did, Namdi did. Plax will, and you will be left holding your @0ck, saying I didn’t want him anyway…. again…
HAHAHA

Roethlisberger and Burress were very tight back in the day. That is the only reason the Steelers are talking to him. A carrot for Benji.

Did Arnold Palmer take them all for a ride around to course on his tractor? A nice cold Rolling Rock after the meeting could help seal the deal.

Sign him. 2-3 yr contract. Steelers have a very good receiver corp but no one like Plax. Limas Sweed got to prove he can be that man in camp.

If Burress signs with the Steelers he isnt going to be a #4 lol . He will be the 3rd WR and try to push his way into the starting line up . Might push Hines into a smaller role this season .

By: mikeypa

mikeypa — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 15:17:09 +0000

Although he hasn’t been convicted, there is already a felon on the Pittsburgh receiving corps. Limas Sweed has been stealing a check for years. Hahaha…..

I don’t condone what Plax did, but the man did pay a severe price. Being away from his family in prison and surrendering millions in salary should have taught him some serious life lessons. If the Steelers give him a chance, hopefully he will appreciate his opportunity.

The eagles sign plaxico, orchestrate a masterful trade for chris johnson for a seventh round pick and a box of tape, and the trade for james harrison and help him improve his image in the league while he decapitates people coming over the middle.

Most people (other than us fanatic football fans) don’t even remember Plaxico playing for the Steelers. In Pittsburgh, they got rid of HIM and in NY, he shot rid of himself (Freud)! He needs to come back in BLUE where he belongs and it can be the feel good story of the decade if his presence pushes NY past the likes of the “best damn team that never won a Super Bowl” just over in PA.
