It looks like plaxidents tend to follow Giants WR and soon-to-be-convicted-felon Plaxico Burress around. The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that a 27-year old woman is suing Plaxico for an auto accident in May that left her with back and neck injuries.

Alise Smith is looking for $15,000 in lost wages, medical bills and damage to her car.

“Ms. Smith, who wearing a seatbelt, was rear-ended by Mr. Burress, who failed to maintain a safe braking distance, maintain a proper lookout or to exercise reasonable care,” said Gregory Dell, Smith’s attorney. “All of this was the cause of this accident and Ms. Smith’s resulting injuries.”

When compared with facing a mandatory three and a half years for possession of a concealed weapon, Ms. Smith’s lawsuit is the kind of legal trouble that Burress can live with.

In a move that will surprise no one, the Giants have suspended Plaxico Burress for the final four games of the season for conduct detrimental to the team and have placed him on the non-football injury list.

You may or may not have guessed that the non-football injury relates to him going Fifty Cent on himself in a Manhattan night club on Friday night (there’s an “In Tha Club” joke in there somewhere but I have neither the time nor the inclination to find it).

“The decision we made today regarding Plaxico’s roster status was based on the examination of Plaxico by our team physician” General Manager Jerry Reese said in a statement released by the team. “Dr. Rodeo believes Plaxico would be out at least four to six weeks with the gunshot wound. I had two conversations with Plaxico today, and it was obvious that he understood the magnitude of this situation. He knows that we are here to support him and help him get healthy.”

Write it down: Plaxico Burress will never play for the Giants again.

And based on the fact that his recent crime comes with a mandatory 3.5 years in lockup (and Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants him prosecuted “to the fullest extent of the law”), he might never play again in the NFL.

I just witnessed an awfully peculiar post-game interview with Giants WR Domenik Hixon. Hixon was asked whether or not he had spoken to Plaxico Burress recently and he said he had and that he went to a Knicks game with him. I know the Knicks were in town Saturday night against the Warriors because I was supposed to go to the game.

He also says that he was with Burress Friday night at Applebee’s. The interviewer, Andy Adler, was clearly caught off guard by this information. Was Hixon with Burress at the club? There are rumors that there was a third Giant (possibly Derrick Ward) present at the club with Burress, but it’s not known who it was. Interesting.

As to the first part of this posting, Burress has not returned phone calls from several members of Giants management since the shooting. Is he socializing with Hixon and other friends while ignoring the people that just gave him a ton of money and have been putting up with his crap for this long?

Could be nothing, but it’s our job to stir the pot. Here is the interview as transcribed by moi off my DVR:

Andy Adler of Fox 5 NY: “It has been a seamless transition, now have you spoken with Plaxico Burress? Have you conversed with him at all?”

Domenik Hixon: “Yeah, uh…”

AA: “..In the last couple days?”

Hixon: “We went to the Knicks game and everything.”

AA: “I’m not talking about the last couple weeks, I’m talking about the last couple days.”

Hixon: “Ummm, uhhh, Yeah, I did ummm…Friday night we were at Applebee’s eatin’ hanging out.”

AA (clearly surprised): “Oh so you were there? You were there on Friday night when he accidentally shot himself in the leg?”

Hixon: “I’ll say I was at Applebee’s with him.”

AA: “You guys haven’t spoken since?”

Hixon: “No.”
