"A day after the "fake shot heard 'round the world," the Jets still were reacting to Stevie Johnson's touchdown celebration that mocked Plaxico Burress on Sunday.
Several players took issue with Johnson's antics, but Burress was not one of them. In a radio interview with 1050 ESPN, the Jets receiver said he and Johnson had spoken to each other and he did not have a problem with the Bills receiver pretending to shoot himself in the leg — a reference to Burress' nightclub shooting three years ago. Johnson apologized to Burress.
"He's young, and he made a mistake," Burress said of the 25-year-old. "I don't look at him as any less than he was before. And I don't want everybody just to say he's a bad guy because he made a mistake. I've made a few in my life.""
