Goldman Second Chance Stories : Plaxico Burress You are One Fortunate Dude...Don't Blow It!

To me one of the great things in life is the "second chance opportunity ", which has become so fashionable. And why not? We all mistakes , right? To me it's not how many times you fall but how many times you get back up that truly defines a person!
Let's talk about Plaxico for a second. Before his "firearm troubles" he was a top-notch wide receiver . Five hundred and five (505) career receptions, 55 career TDs, 7800 yards, superbowl hero. Long yardage threat. Size, speed, hands...knows how to get open.
So why wouldn't the Jets take a shot. Price is right. They worked him out and obviously liked what they saw. While he is 34 and has been out two years , the flip side is that his body has not taken hits for 2 years either.
This is a tremendous oppotunuity for Burress and the Jets; Plaxico you got the world at your fingertips. Work hard, keep your nose to the grindstone...and don't blow it! We need you and you need us. And by the way, you won't get a third chance.
