They say when Plaxico Burress landed on Rikers Island to begin serving his two year prison sentence the other day, he didn't exactly receive a hero's welcome. Prison guards snitched to the NY Post that after Plax was strip searched and shorn of his trade mark goatee, fellow inmates hurled obscenities of the worst kind as he was led to his single person prison cell. Good thing he didn't have to stay there for long. The next day Plax was transferred out of Rikers to a medium-security intake center in upstate New York where he'll be evaluated for more permanent placement elsewhere in the state prison system. With good behavior, the earliest Plax can be released is June 6, 2011.
