Burress thankful to be back among friends

[GBMelBlount]

PITTSBURGH – In his final season with the Steelers in 2004, Plaxico Burress hosted Thanksgiving dinner at his home with his future wife, her parents and one of his rookie teammates, who was unable to go home to be with family because of practice that day.

This time, Ben Roethlisberger, the rookie Burress hosted, can return the favor.

Burress, who was signed by the Steelers Tuesday to bolster their banged up receiving corps, came straight to Pittsburgh from a Formula 1 United States Grand Prix race in Texas over the weekend, never making it back home to New Jersey, where he lives with his wife and two children.

He does sound a little older and wiser. Interesting to see how he pans out.
