Toomer: Burress Can Become A Distraction
Amani Toomer is growing tired of Plaxico Burress‘ off the field issues, and in an AP report said he thinks if he continues he will be a distraction to the team.
“He’s his own man,” Toomer said. “He makes his own decisions and I have to respect that. He knows his decisions affect the team. It’s hard to go up to a grown man (and talk) about doing his business the way everybody else wants him to.”
When pressed about what might happen if Burress continues his errant ways, the Giants captain wondered.
“I’ll be interested to see because I think that it’s still a distraction,” Toomer said. “It affects our team.”
Most players have chosen not to take sides and just focus on what needs to be done on the field. Toomer appears to be the first to admit that Burress is becoming an issue.
