Al Sharpton Protests Plaxico Burress' Unfair' Sentence Former NY Giants WR Plaxico Burress's name will be replaced with a number now that he's in the system for the next two years.After

According to TMZ.com, the star athlete ate alone in his cell last night. He dined on hot dogs, beans, whole wheat bread and fruit.
