Eli and Plaxico’s chemistry was something different in 07-08. Ranked 3rd QB-WR tandem that season (behind Brady/Moss and Romo/Owens)

[@vonversace]

Chemistry was 10/10

[@yesjustdavis2674]

And now we know the secret to their success .. 💪🏾🙏🏾👀.. Every1 can learn something from this 1 .. salute!

[@drphot6050]

T.O. another cat that played on a bad leg like a beast!

[@alisherwanderlingh582]

Eli underrated my fav quater beating tom brady twice in the SB cant get any better than that

[@montanaproductions5559]

Giants were best team in the league and 11-1 before he shot himself

[@jennyneon]

Injuries are the worst part of sports.... So hurtful to see a player getting injured

[@JacaboBlanco]

Especially for those GREAT players that just have awful luck. I can't imagine the feeling. Guys that would have been greats who never even got the real chance. Bo Jackson is the poster child, but ravens Tavon Young , top nickel corner, and so many others.

[@dribbleYG]

Didnt he injure himself

[@mauricedavis1740]

i agree and I’ve always said that...

[@Sangria]

If dude didn't shoot himself in the leg he'd have won a 2nd ring that season

[@wbdrugstrat]

He should have been in the pro bowl that year. I recall feeling that he was robbed of the opportunity. He was elite when he was on.

[@Maxmillianr1]

It's such a bittersweet feeling. Beating the undefeated Patriots in the Super Bowl, but then seeing Plax injure himself the next season, that could've been the Giants year to be repeat champions. They had beaten the two teams in the super bowl (Arizona and Pittsburgh) in the regular season and had even clinched home field advantage. Still Hurts me to this day, but after watching this I can't even be upset. Without him, we don't even win. Yet, I look at it as "what could've been".

[@DevontaTravis]

FlemLo Raps just a video about this man. Was a fan of Plaxico dude was a monster

[@alexnious705]

Felt like I bought a knee off eBay or something 😭

[@johnathansanford6759]

😂😂😂

[@josephanthony7310]

He had about 8 quotes in this interview. Lol

[@ianAEF]

He’s the real life “I put the team on my BACK”

[@Mxckery]

He definitely was of the painpills during that time

[@LiterallyGod]

Every injured player gets them

[@uzahoe1637]

It would be fucked if he wasn't lmao

Man pulled a cheddar bob in the club😂😂😂😂

[@97ejohnson]

On a perc 90

[@TheTEN24]

Dude was doing crazy good for a few years there and to do it while hurt is impressive man.

[@LostBoysBasketball]

We gotta put some respect on Master’s name, dude is underrated as far as this interview game is concerned

[@taylorsharifzadeh6031]

My guy, as a giants fan. Plax was a huge part of our success and I’m very grateful for what he’s done to his body for the Organization

[@GmkSuperstars]

Bro played on one leg 😳 and was doing what he did that's insane

[@AceSolomon94]

2:04 who's getting paid to do animations? Cruz & JPP weren't even playing in the NFL yet 🤣😂🤦🏾‍♂️ should've had Michael Strahan & Antonio Pierce standing next to Osi man. Can't take this shit serious now 😪😏

[@jameskreisler6083]

Strahan was gone, should've been Osi and Tuck.

[@odysseysports5229]

Smh

[@TrilogyNjStorm]

I was gonna say he was def on some 80 oxys probably epidural injections probably little shot of alcohol...but hey weed and peds ARE NOT ALLOWED EVER... 🤣 😆

[@waterzeus4946]

Weed does not help for the pain he was experiencing, it would just make it more intense.

[@timmythompson2186]

@@waterzeus4946 interesting. You are the only one I have ever heard say that. I have had 4 neck surgeries. I'm missing 3 vertebrae so my neck was and still is torn up. I tried weed because everyone told me it would help but when I'd smoke it would hit me like a ton of bricks smashed my neck and it would make it tighten and throb

[@waterzeus4946]

@@timmythompson2186 yeah I don't think it helps with pain like people like to think it does, especially severe pain. There might be some strains that truly help the pain quite a bit but I dont live in a legal state so i haven't been able to experiment with that at all.

[@lolwut9226]

@@waterzeus4946 it really depends on the strain, but I would also say if the person has no tolerance weed is not going to help simply because they’ll get way too high.

[@johntheapostle4181]

He got Al Harris back in the NFC title game. Made a very good corner look like a scrub for 4+ quarters

[@dominicfm2189]

Plax doesn't get mention that much but he was a force in his day

[@jaynyc5340]

Real Giants fan here ... thanks for the memories Plaxico loved watching you and Eli on Sunday’s

[@Put_U_Smooth]

Had Plaxico never shot himself and never really didn’t experience any injuries ... They would’ve been 1 of the best 1 - 2 punch for a few more years

[@quintushoward9968]

yes

[@alexandriaocasio-smollett5078]

Antonio Pierce said Plaxico “sacrificed his future earnings” due to playing while injured. Absolutely. That’s exactly what it was. Playing whilst injured... It wasn’t the fact that he carried a gun into a club and shot himself. Or that he tried to cover it up. Or that multiple illegal firearms were found in his house after the incident in the nightclub. It wasn’t that. It wasn’t the fact that he spent 20 months in prison. No no no.. It was 100% because he played through injury.

[@ksx580]

as a Giants fan i VIVDLY remember checking the injury report every day that season and always seeing his name on it. This fool never practiced but BALLED out and then in the playoffs against GB? SHEEEEEEEEESH

[@kylejenkins4731]

Plaxico and Eli was something special. If plaxico wasn’t stupid back in 08 there’s the real possibility giants repeat as champions that year, this coming from a Washington fan

[@montanaproductions5559]

I’m glad some ppl don’t sleep on this fact. Firing on all cylinders until his accident

[@usernotfound904]

I met Plax, Edgrin James and Clinton Portis at MSG at UFC205. First ever event in NYC. The three of them just randomly walked into our suite. Took some flicks. Shout out those 3. Legends and genuine dudes.

[@josephanthony7310]

"Even if I knew what it was I wouldn't say". 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@dannyduds1058]

2:04 JPP and Victor Cruz were not on the Giants at that time.

[@sawssman965]

No mention of his incident tho. Not mad at it.

[@michaelghoner]

That's a Spartan Dawg. Plax is the most underrated WR in the history of the game. Totally dominant any time he wanted.

[@GLIDE169WEBSIDE]

Love the stories but as a Giants fan I will not forget that he cost us the next super bowl. We was the best team at 10-1 when he popped himself smdh
