This is becoming an expensive season for New York Giants receiver Plaxico Burress.


Having already incurred a $117,000 team fine earlier this month, Burress drew $45,000 in additional fines from the NFL for his actions during and after the Giants' 29-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7.

The latest fines included $20,000 for verbally abusing an official during the game, another $20,000 for "inappropriate" comments about officiating after the game and $5,000 for throwing a football into the stands.

Burress criticized officials after they penalized him for offensive pass interference. Officials also penalized the Giants 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct after Burress argued with officials on the field. After the game, Burress called the ruling the worst he had ever seen.

Even if that call was bad, it really does not work well to argue with the official if you are a player. If anything leave that to the coaches.

And does he think he is the only wide receiver to get called on pass interference when he thought it wasnt right?
And why do they bother anyway? I have never seen an official change the ruling.
I do agree with him about complaining about the officiating after the game unless he was really abusive.
