STRANGE DAYS: He's been late to or missed roughly 40 team meetings with the Giants, but when he allegedly shot himself in the leg at a nightclub, Burress vaulted into rare territory of receivers whose brains often go on hiatus.
COLLATERAL DAMAGE: None, so far. Burress' shooting incident could affect teammates Antonio Pierce and Ahmad Bradshaw, but that's up to the NYPD.
PROGNOSIS FOR NORMALCY: Fair, once he gets a change of scenery. Burress' days as a Giant are probably over, but some other team will want his talents.";

STRANGE DAYS: Boldin blew his stack after not getting much action in the Cardinals' game-winning touchdown drive against the Eagles in the 2009 NFC championship game, then refused to celebrate with the team afterward.
Boldin has been upset all season about the contract he signed after the 2005 season and even asked to be traded last summer.
COLLATERAL DAMAGE: Could it cost the Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII?
PROGNOSIS FOR NORMALCY: Not good. When asked after the victory over the Eagles if he wanted to return next season, Boldin pulled a Drew Rosenhaus: \"Next question!\"";

STRANGE DAYS: Wide array of TD dances, halftime dustup with coaches during 2005 playoffs, attempt to talk his way out of Cincinnati this offseason.
COLLATERAL DAMAGE: One gold suit jacket, Marvin Lewis’ credibility.
PROGNOSIS FOR NORMALCY: Bleak. Ocho Cinco is a wondrous talent, but his once-entertaining schtick has become diabolical as he tells anyone who’ll listen he wants to flee Cincy. His 2008 season hasn't helped stoke any interest, either. He has just 45 catches for 428 yards and four touchdowns, his worst year since 2001.";

STRANGE DAYS: The Sharpie. The driveway situps. L’Affaire McNabb. 25 million reasons to live. Tour de France suit on a stationary bike. “That’s my quarterback (sniff).”
COLLATERAL DAMAGE: Donovan McNabb’s peace of mind. The opportunity to sign balls after touchdowns.
PROGNOSIS FOR NORMALCY: Zero. He’s Dennis Rodman in shoulder pads and destined to follow the same path as No. 91. Unlike Rodman's rebounding stats, Owens' production has faltered in 2008. He's second on the Cowboys with 52 receptions for 816 yards, a far cry from his 1,355 yards and 81 catches in 2007.";

STRANGE DAYS: Had four significant brushes with the law in 13 months from December 2005 through September 2006. In January, 2006 he was arrested for aggravated assault and carrying a concealed weapon. He was easily identifiable since he was wearing a Bengals jersey with his No. 15 on it.
COLLATERAL DAMAGE: More of Marvin Lewis’ credibility. Probably a few season ticket packages for fed-up Bengals fans.
PROGNOSIS FOR NORMALCY: Poor. Even after an eight-game suspension in 2007 and a likely year or longer ban awaiting him if he screws up again, Henry doesn’t seem to be able to help himself. He hasn't produced on the field, either. In eight games during the 2008 season, Henry has just 13 catches for 107 yards.";

STRANGE DAYS: Glenn’s bizarreness peaked in New England, and he’s since become stable, at least to the naked eye. But while with the Patriots, Glenn would frequently isolate himself in his home and not answer the door when the Patriots sent envoys to get him to come to the stadium. Once, he left the stadium during a game and was seen getting a snack at a canteen truck called, “The Sausage King.”
COLLATERAL DAMAGE: The last thread of civility between Bob Kraft and Bill Parcells when Glenn was drafted over Parcells’ protestations in 1996. Hall of Fame talent.
PROGNOSIS FOR NORMALCY: Outstanding. Glenn had his demons, but he seems to have conquered them. That’s good news, because he’s really an interesting, intelligent guy.";

STRANGE DAYS: Wrote a book after his rookie year called, “Just Give Me the Damn Ball” in which he derided teammate Wayne Chrebet as the team “mascot.” Was deactivated by the Bucs in 2003 for being a royal pain. Never slow to criticize teammates.
COLLATERAL DAMAGE: Wayne Chrebet’s self esteem. Jon Gruden’s patience. Selflessness.
PROGNOSIS FOR NORMALCY: Poor. Which is good because Keyshawn’s act – now as an analyst – doesn’t put the public’s welfare at stake. But he’s itching to return somewhere if the price is right.";

STRANGE DAYS: Pinched for cocaine in 1996. May or may not have sliced a teammate on purpose while giving a training camp haircut. Purportedly a “White House” regular.
COLLATERAL DAMAGE: Questions about Tony Romo’s heritage. Other than that, surprisingly little. Teammates loved him (unless he was their hairdresser), he played hard and performed.

Ended famous anti-Cleveland rant with “Baltimore, here we come,” in 1994. Spent a lot of time in court. Memorable on-field slapfight with Deion Sanders.

COLLATERAL DAMAGE: The peace of mind of the Patriots security and coaching staffs.
