Belichick recommends retroactive suspension for Burris

New England Patriots' coach Bill Belichick has endorsed the New York Giants' decision to suspend wide receiver Plaxico Burris. Belichick has also suggested that Burris' suspension be made retroactive.

 “Making Burris’ suspension retroactive from, say about thirty-six seconds before the end of, I guess maybe the fourth quarter in, oh, whatever game he might have been playing on, say February 3^rd, that would send a strong message to younger players: not only would their future be in jeopardy, but their past would be as well.”

 “Anything less woudl certainly send the wrong kind of message.”
