From the New York Times:
Plaxico Burress will be released from the Oneida Correctional Facility in Rome, N.Y., on Monday. Television trucks and cameras, which began gathering at the facility last week, will be on hand to record the moment, which comes three years and four months after Burress made a game-winning touchdown catch for the Giants in Super Bowl XLII.
If Burress follows the script designed for him by his various representatives, he will leave without comment, be driven to a nearby airport, then head to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., where he will begin his new life as a free man.
Burress and his wife have two children, including a daughter who was born while Burress was incarcerated.
"All of Plaxico's family and friends are excited about him coming out tomorrow, and Plax is extremely excited about coming out and getting back with his family and getting back into game-playing shape," said Tony Johnson, the co-founder of Playmakers Sports Management. Johnson and his partner, Clarence Wright, handle Burress's nonfootball business interests.
