Member Of Giants Doesn't Believe McKinley Suicide Story

May 17, 2014 1:14 AM

Giants cornerback D.J. Johnson doesn't necessarily believe the police version that friend and former teammate Kenny McKinley committed suicide this week. Johnson, a second-year backup who spent time with McKinley on the Broncos' practice squad last season, outlined a murky conspiracy theory on Friday when asked about McKinley's death. "Something fishy went down there," Johnson said without providing any details. "I don't think it happened the way they're saying it happened. Somebody did something to him." Johnson told The Post he thinks McKinley might have been murdered because of what he described as a dangerous climate for pro athletes in Denver.

Burress Denied Work Release

May 30, 2014 9:52 PM

Former Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress has been denied work release by the state of New York. The development could keep him behind bars until at least next spring. The state Department of Correctional Services said the nature of his November 2008 crime merited turning down his request for a work furlough, which would have let him spend some portion of his time free and working. While Burress can appeal the decision, he can't reapply for a work furlough until June 6, 2011, the date he comes up for potential full release if he gets time off for good behavior.
