We all make mistakes. But some people could start to get less empathetic when the mistake-maker doesn’t feel like apologizing. That seems to be the case for New York Giants receiver Plaxico Burress.
Burress was suspended for one NFL game, after he missed a team meeting without letting anyone know about the reasons of his absence. Not making that phone call costed him to watch the defeat against the Seattle Seahawks from the bench.
Some seem upset because he didn’t apologize about the suspension. In fact, Plaxico said he doesn’t regret his decision at all. Some say his big “emergency” to skip the meeting was “having to take his son to school”. He says he just put his family first (which is fine). But how can you just not go to a meeting and not even call first when you belong to the NFL Champions team? Wow, that’s really not caring for your job.
Plaxico Burress said nobody really knew the situation he faced, but refused to give further details. The point is that he’s back now, and doesn’t seem very sorry for the punishment he received. The lack of discipline in our current players is easy to notice. Let’s hope not all of them have that little interest in being responsible.
The Houston Texans had a bad start this NFL football season, with a 0-3 record so far, and all the games played on the road. But next Sunday they will have a chance to get back on their feet a little and try to even things up. On Sunday, the Texans will have their first game with home field advantage.
What’s even better is that they will be facing the Indianapolis Colts, former NFL Champions, that started the NFL Season with the wrong foot this year too. Who would’ve thought it would be good for a team to face the Colts? But right now the Indianapolispro football team has a record of 1-2.
If the Texans know how to take advantage of the Colts’ weakness, this could end up on their first victory of the Season. But, as we’ve seen so many times, being at home is not enough to win a game. They will have to work hard if they want to change those negative scores; after all, the Indianapolis Colts have defeated them in 11 of the 12 encounters they’ve had.
So, if you don’t have your NFL tickets for this game, just watch it from home. Maybe there’s not a lot of action to see, but it’s definitely a game I will be following.
