"My emotions were that they suspended me," said Burress, who sat out Sunday's 44-6 win over Seattle. "That was the decision they chose to do. I'll take it at that. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. I got me some rest and was able to get away for a while and chill out and relax. Things like that happen. I'll keep moving forward and get back to doing what I do: catching footballs, scoring touchdowns and get back to work."
Along with the suspension, Burress was fined one week's pay, or roughly $117,500. The Giants originally docked him $235,000, but the player and the team reached a settlement last week that cut the fine in half.
Burress, who caught a career-high 12 touchdowns last season, never explained why he did not report to Giants Stadium after dropping his son off at school. He indicated that there was more involved without getting into explanations.
"There are some things that you guys don't know," Burress said. "So you can't say it wasn't an emergency on my part because you don't know everything that was going on."
The nine-year veteran refused to be more specific.
"Coach said I was suspended because I needed to be more responsible. I was being responsible, I just put my child first," he said.
Burress also refused to discuss problems with his wife. Police were called to his home twice this year in response to domestic problems.
"There is nothing to tell," he said.
