At six-feet-five, Plaxico Burress’s height was always an advantage when he was playing football. On Friday night, as he stood in a Manhattan ballroom, it once again came in handy.

The 2007 Giants are in town this weekend to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their Super Bowl season. The festivities began on Friday at the Champions for Children Gala in support of Tom Coughlin’s Jay Fund, continued into Saturday at Yankee Stadium where captains from that squad threw out ceremonial first pitches, and will culminate on Monday night at halftime of the Giants-Lions game when they are brought onto the field at MetLife Stadium.
