Plaxico Burress declines questions while rooting on Michigan State at Final Four

DETROIT -- A day after being released by the New York Giants, embattled wide receiver Plaxico Burress made an appearance at the Final Four to cheer on his Michigan State Spartans.

Surrounded by his wife and several former college teammates, Buress laughed and mugged for pictures following the Spartans' semifinal victory over Connecticut.

Asked whether he thought he would play somewhere in 2009, Burress held out his arms to indicate he didn't know. He was also asked how he felt after being released Thursday.

"I feel great," he said.

Burress declined to answer several more questions before leaving Ford Field. His next court hearing is scheduled for June 15 in a Manhattan Criminal Court. He and attorney Benjamin Brafman are hoping to reach a plea agreement before that time.

Until his case is resolved, it's unlikely another team will sign him.
