“It was I who shot myself, but I didn’t shoot me in the knee. It was I who shot myself, but I didn’t shoot me in the knee…” Come on, everybody!

I hope Plax doesn’t defend himself in the trial…just replace all the “sheriffs” with “me” and the “deputy” with “knee”.

At 6-feet-5, Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress is a big target - for passes and problems.

Burress quickly established himself as Eli Manning’s No. 1 receiver after the Giants signed him as a free agent from Pittsburgh in March 2005.

But his on-field heroics were inevitably tempered by his off-field woes, leading to more than two dozen fines, two benchings and a September suspension.

Through four years in New York, Burress racked up more than 30 fines for assorted misbehavior. This year, Burress has surrendered more than $200,000 to the Giants and the NFL in fines and lost salary.

He was suspended for two weeks, missing one game, after skipping a day of work and failing to notify the Giants - a $117,000 hit. Coach Tom Coughlin has benched Burress twice - once in 2005 and again this year - for violating team rules.

Burress was also fined in June after refusing to practice during a team minicamp in a protest over his contract.

His wife, Tiffany, has twice called police to their New Jersey home after off-season domestic disputes. Both times , she reportedly took out a temporary restraining order against her husband, though both eventually were dismissed in state court.

By far this cat is the dullest butter knife in the kitchen. He also is too inconsistent and I have passed on him the last 3 years in fantasy football.
