Great show, always informative and entertaining. I know its a relatively minor quibble but please can American sports stars stop calling themselves world champions when they win North American teams only events. Its arrogant, annoying and insulting to truly worldwide sporting events.
I love his name, it's seems unique. Any story behind that?
We love you Plaxico!!! You are an amazing player - and easy on the eyes! Let's go GIANTS!!!
Leonard, Can you ask Plaxico about his ankle and how he’s going to handle it through the upcoming football season? Also, does his book explain how he was given his unusual first name? I am asking on behalf of my football-loving co-worker, Trevor.
