Keep Plaxico Burress or Release Him?

Over the next couple of months, after all the dust settles, the New York Giants and it's fan base will be faced with some tough decisions.

To keep Plaxico Burress or release him?

Here's the way I see it.

Reasons to Keep Plaxico

1. He caught the winning touchdown in Super Bowl XVII which should get him a "get out of jail free card." The only one that could have made that catch was Brandon London and unfortunately he didn't make the team. I'm not bitter...err...no offense to the current wide receivers (okay, maybe you Domenik Hixon).

2. Plax draws double coverage most of the time, leaving holes open in the zone for Kevin Boss, Steve Smith and Amani Toomer. And not to mention lanes in the running game.

3. Plax's big-play ability can change a game. Just ask defensive back Al Harris of the Green Bay Packers.

Reasons to Release Plaxico

1. His antics have become a distraction to the team. Which is fine only if the Giants keep winning.

2. The NFL is a job, not a rehabilitation center. Why should the Giants reward bad behavior?

3. He tackles like place kickeer Sebastian Janikowski of the Oakland Raiders on interceptions.

4. Do the Giants really need Plaxico with Texas Tech's wide receiver Michael Crabtree out there—I hate you Detroit Lions!

5. Big Blue realizes that they are not a run-and-shoot offense and are now playing Giants football—power running and big defense. That formula doesn't include all world prima donna receivers.
