The habit gets a new name.
Plaxico Burress’s prison experience and his time with the New York Jets both felt like a daily reminder of being a loser. He compared the two, saying they both felt like waking up in prison every day. The Jets, however, had just come off back-to-back AFC Championship Game appearances when Burress joined. The team finished 8-8 that season, not excellent but not dismal either. Burress won a Super Bowl with the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLII, catching the game-winning touchdown from Eli Manning. The experience of playing for the Jets was a “feeling like a loser” routine.
Somehow, the Jets still managed to make prison feel like a vacation.
