Burress' work release application denied (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Plaxico Burress (PLEK'-sih-koh BUR'-ihs) is not getting out of prison just yet. The ex-Giants star had applied for work release, but has been denied by the New York Department of Correctional Services. Burress made the application just a few months into his two-year sentence. Prosecutors said it would be too soon to give the former Super Bowl star a break.
