Burress not essential to Giants’ success

Posted on October 7, 2008 by Wes

Plaxico Burress was curiously unapologetic. Noting that he hadn’t “lost any sleep” during his suspension, Burress returned to Giants practice on Monday following the team’s 44-6 rout of the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Burress had been suspended for two weeks and one game after Burress skipped a team meeting two weeks ago without notifying the…

Michigan deserves rematch

Posted on November 20, 2006 by Wes

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the National Championship should feature the two best teams in college football playing against each other.

2004 SU Football Offense Preview

Posted on August 19, 2003 by Wes

The Syracuse offense is a cipher, covered with secret sauce, buried in a puzzle. Last year, it showed glimpses of brilliance, scoring a robust 50 points in an improbable upset of then-No. 7 Virginia Tech. Then there was the 34 points Syracuse put together in a heartbreaking, triple-overtime loss to then-No. 25 Auburn. But while…

Thump Belton’s journey brought him from obscurity to Syracuse

Posted on September 20, 2002 by Wes

He saw focus and determination, anxiety and eagerness. But when Syracuse football assistant coach David Walker’s eyes met Keith Belton’s, Walker saw something he had never expected. Tears. Belton — the fullback known as “Thump” for his whole life — was crying. “It was last year right before the Georgia Tech game,” Walker said. “I…
