The Facts:
Bob Papa, the Giants' radio play-by-play man (as well as a Sirius/XM Radio host and the voice of NFL Network's live games) outlined details of possible plea bargains he's heard Burress has turned down. "This is what I've been told and what I've heard," Papa said this morning. "They worked out something where they had it down to about a three-month jail term with actually only two months served and about 1,500 hours of community service. And I think his lawyers felt that they had a pretty good deal. He doesn't want to go to jail at all. He shot down the deal."

Papa continued: "Evidently, he's gonna have to go to Rikers Island. He's deathly afraid of going. ..." At this point, as Star-Ledger staffer Mike Garafolo suggests, there's a lot of evidence to suggest Burress is the one holding up the process on a plea bargain that could have put him back on the field this season. According to Papa, Burress apparently doesn't realize he has absolutely zero leverage on this one.
