The Facts:
Eli Manning says he has a good relationship with Plaxico Burress. His No. 1 receiver wasn't talking about it on Wednesday, turning down pleas from the Giants' public relations staff to talk to the media on the opening day of mini-camp. Burress hasn't said anything since the Giants were beaten 23-0 by the Panthers in the opening round of the playoffs. "You don't have to be best friends with everybody," Manning said when asked about Burress Wednesday.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Held without a catch, Burress waved his hands in frustration several times during the playoff loss to Carolina, believing he was open and Manning didn't get him the ball. The receiver didn't report to the stadium the following day for a season-ending team meeting. Burress also did not participate in voluntary workouts in the offseason, opting to train in Florida with tight end Jeremy Shockey (who reported for work with a black eye). ... Probably not a big deal, but interesting gossip nonetheless.
