"OK, it wasn't as brazen as Plaxico Burress' famous 23-17 Super Bowl prediction, which he made to me in the bowels of Giants Stadium. But when the Jets receiver was asked about facing his former Giants teammates on Christmas Eve, he said he wanted to score multiple touchdowns and that somebody was going to wake up to a bittersweet Christmas -- and it wouldn't be him.

"I definitely want to get in the end zone once, twice, maybe three or four times. I'm going to go out and try to play lights-out football,'' said Burress when asked if playing against his former teammates would have added meaning to him.

He caught the game-winning touchdown for the Giants in Super Bowl XLII to make good on his prediction, but was let go after accidentally shooting himself in the leg in a nightclub and serving jail time."
