The Facts:
A civil trial is scheduled to begin Wednesday in Pennsylvania to determine how much Burress will have to pay in damages for a car he leased before it was impounded by New York City police. Court papers say a Lebanon County car dealer allowed Burress in 2006 to borrow a 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche worth more than $36,000 in exchange for Burress agreeing to sign autographs at promotional events. The complaint says Burress never showed up to sign autographs and did not return the car.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
On a more positive note, a number of Burress' Giants teammates -- including Eli Manning and Brandon Jacobs -- express hope that the troubled wideout will return to the team. GM Jerry Reese has hinted at that possibility -- if Burress can overcome the legal obstacles resulting from two counts of illegal weapons possession after he accidentally shot himself in the right thigh at a Manhattan nightclub on Nov. 29.
