Giants' linebacker Antonio Pierce believes that embattled wide receiver Plaxico Burress will return to the team next season. "I think it comes down to how he goes about his business," said Pierce. "He holds the decision. If he does everything he needs to do, I don't think he's played his last game as a Giant. Mentally and demeanor-wise, if they thought he was so bad, they would've never signed him to that long-term contract. He's made some bad choices, and that was a very bad incident. But once you get in trouble like that, everything else you've done gets magnified 100 percent. "I know that Plaxico loves football. It's all he knows. Sometimes when it looks like you might lose that opportunity, it can have a powerful effect on a person."
