Kobe: 'Pistons Disappeared Forever'
White Supremacist Faces Charges After Horrific Attack
Plaxico Burress is scheduled to be released from the upstate Oneida Correctional Facility on June 6 -- in time for training camp, if there is no NFL lockout -- and there is growing support within the Giants organization to bring him back and give him a second chance.
Co-owner Steve Tisch already is on record as championing the troubled wide receiver's cause, and considers him a dear friend. Co-owner John Mara feels strongly that Burress has paid his debt to society. General manager Jerry Reese yesterday said the Giants would investigate a possible Plaxico II.
Now defensive captain Justin Tuck has told The Post he, too, would welcome Burress back.
"I know that he's paid his debt to society, and I think he's overpaid his debt to society," Tuck said.
"Yeah, I would love to see him back. We've all seen how the Mike Vick situation has played out. And we all know that Plaxico is one of the most talented wide receivers to ever play this game."
Burress, who will turn 34 in August, is serving a two-year sentence on weapons-possession and reckless-endangerment charges stemming from the infamous November 2008 nightclub incident in which he shot himself in the leg.
Eli Manning has been hampered by not having a red-zone threat like the 6-foot-5 Burress. Coach Tom Coughlin would have to sit down with Burress and be convinced he would not disrupt the team concept Coughlin has built.

The Dunk High 'Rainbow' was the first time we saw said material, but it clearly won't be the last time. Here's a new Nike WMNS Air Max 90 with the same scored material everywhere except for the eyestay/toebox section, a look that enhances the contrast between black and select Vivid Pink accents. Click the jump below for more images and look for these at select Nike Sportswear retailers including SneakersNStuff.There's a 'Rainbow Pack' Nike Dunk High on the way for the Holiday 2010 season that uses a unique scored finish on a glossy synthetic leather material that gives off the look of a blacked-out disco ball.
