Good for Plax. He served the Steelers well...even if he made things...interesting for Bill Cowher and company. It's too bad that the Steelers couldn't keep him, but he asked for the cash, and it was reasonable for him to do so. As has been said many times "You can't coach height." Or talent.
He was a great receiver for Pittsburgh, and he's done a nice job for the Giants as well. If, as I think I read somewhere, the Steelers felt that they had to decide to keep Ward or Burress - I think they made the right choice. A win in Super Bowl 40 certainly emphasizes this point, don't you think?
Sure it would have been nice to have both Plax and Hines catching passes for the Stillers. It just wasn't an economic reality. All is not lost. Would any Steeler fan wish away Santonio Holmes or Heath Miller? And we still have Willie Parker. And Najeh Davenport.
So don't lament the loss of a tall receiver too much. We Steeler fans are lucky, and we've lived through a golden age of success. There are plenty of NFL teams (and fans) who would love to have had the past 30 years that Pittsburgh football had.
I sincerely hope Burress wins a Super Bowl ring. All Steeler fans should feel that way too. What better way to stick it to a team that trampled on our beloved Black 'n' Gold en route to Super Bowl wins.
I'd advise Burress and his teammates to check for video cameras though. :-)
