Plaxico Burress Release Date

Former New York Giants Super Bowl winner, Plaxico Burress, was just denied a work release request which would allow him to get out of jail so that he could work/play in the NFL. Less than 2% of work release applications are granted so it was never really likely that Burress would be able to join the New York Giants, or any team that would have him.

If Plaxico Burress does not get himself into any trouble, his likely release date from prison would be June 6th, 2011. Unfortunately for the injury plagued Giants, Burress’s release date cannot come sooner.
