Plex actually had similar plays not once, but twice! As a rookie, Burress "caught a pass, fell down untouched, and then?forgetting the primary rules difference between college and pro football?spiked the rock. A Jacksonville player picked up the live ball and ran it back for six as Burress stood emanating waves of befuddlement." And later in his career, he was motoring toward the end zone for an easy untouched 6 and whacked the ball off his hip for a fumble.

What a bonehead. 100 dollar talent with a 10 cent head.

Wow twice!

I knew about the original mental meltdown - the second shows a weird lack of co-ordination - im presumeing he didn't purposefully hit the ball off his thigh?

I guess we are all just waiting for his 1st in a Giants shirt.

Who is that player?

Tom

Ron Shanklin??

You did your homework, right answer.

Who was the first Steelers' player to pass for 1,000 yards in a season (1,004 yards)?
