Super Bowl star Plaxico Burress was suspended for one game (2 weeks in total including the buy week) by the New York Giants on today for an undisclosed violation of team rules. General manager Jerry Reese and coach Tom Coughlin informed Burress of the suspension Wednesday morning before the team held a bye-week practice. 
The suspension takes effect immediately, meaning Burress will miss the Giants (3-0) game against the Seattle Seahawks on Oct. 5. Burress was not immediately available for comment. Drew Rosenhaus, his agent, did not immediately return a telephone call by The Associated Press for comment.
The Giants did not specify why Burress was suspended. FoxSports.com said that Burress did not show up for work on Monday and did not telephone or answer phone messages to explain his absence. Giants spokesman Pat Hanlon said the team was not confirming or denying any reason for the suspension.
Burress, who caught the game-winning touchdown in the final minute of the Giants' 17-14 win over the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, will be allowed to return to team activities the day after the Seahawks game.
I tell ya, there is more drama in sports than soap operas these days.

lol brotha gets one ring and wants that superstar money. He probably would've got it if the Giants weren't doing well. Now he just looks greedy.
Yeah, if he had the talent to back up his cockiness like T.O maybe the staff wouldn't mind, but since that will never happen I see why he got suspended.
