Plaxico Burress was released from prison Monday after serving nearly two years on a gun charge. Burress walked out of the Oneida Correctional Facility in central New York at approximately 9 a.m. ET with his lawyer, Peter Frankel, and was greeted by agent Drew Rosenhaus, who gave his client a big bear hug. Burress, wearing an old school Phillies hat, a black zip-up hoodie and shorts -- then met with reporters and delivered a brief comment. "I just want to thank God for bringing me through one of the most trying times in my life," he said to reporters outside the prison. "It's a beautiful day. It's a beautiful day to be reunited with my family. I want to go home and spend some quality time with them." "I'd like to thank everybody for their prayers and words of encouragement," he said. "I'd like to thank all my fans all around the world for the thousands of letters, for their unwavering support. As far as football is concerned, if and when everything gets settled, when they get back on the field, I'll be ready." Read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/news/story?id=6630528
