Coughlin upset with mouthy Plaxico

Plaxico Burress, Giants GM Jerry Reese and co-owner Steve Tisch have all issued what have been portrayed as guarantees of victory in Super Bowl XLII. None of them was a strong, Namath-like proclamation. But they all got more attention than the Giants would have preferred. Confidence is fine, but there is apparently a line that players aren't supposed to cross. Burress straddled it a few days ago when he said the Giants' receivers "do things just as well or maybe better than some of those" Patriots receivers. And he apparently jumped over it on Monday when he reportedly not only guaranteed victory, but also predicted the final score. When asked about Burress' proclamation, Tom Coughlin was clearly upset with his star receiver yesterday.
