Plaxico Burress isn't the only person in New York wishing he could get out of jail after two months. Since Plax shot himself in the leg and tarnished his professional career, the Giants have never been the same. On Sunday, in a do-or-die situation against the awful Carolina Panthers, the Giants not only lost, they got their brains beat in  -- 41-9. Not only have the Giants ruined their playoff chances, they need a win in the final week of the year just to finish above .500 -- remarkable considering they started 5-0.

Sunday's game was the final football game ever played at Giants Stadium. Next year, the stadium will be wiped from the face of the earth, becoming a parking lot for the upcoming Meadowlands Stadium -- which in traditional sports fashion, will be 95% similiar to the old stadium.

But what about Jimmy Hoffa, the ex-Teamsters president who was famously rumored to be stored under Giants Stadium after, presumably, getting murdered. Will there be a search for Hoffa's supposed-corpse either before or after the arena goes boom? In a 2009 article by the Philadelphia Inquirer, Peter Muncha found that the answer, at least then, was no:

So, will the authorities check for the remains of the Hoffa, the legendary Teamsters boss, last seen alive in Detroit in July 1975?

Apparently not.

The FBI officially punted that idea back in 1989.

"Never say never, but it is a remote possibility he is buried there," said Special Agent Hal Helterhoff then, after the investigation failed to find "any substantiation."

The teardown changes nothing, said Special Agent Bryan Travers yesterday.

"If there was some credible information, we wouldn't wait until the stadium was being demolished," he said. "We would go in there and aggressively look for it ...

"We would never wait this long. ... We would have no problem digging a giant hole at the 50-yard line if we thought there was reason to act," he said.

"No, there are no plans," said Alice McGillion, spokeswoman for the New Meadowlands Stadium Corp., the company formed to build the privately financed new home of the Giants and the New York Jets, and tear down the old one.

The decision's up to law enforcement, but so far no agencies have spoken up, she said.

So there you have it. No searching. The only thing more disappointing than the 2009 New York Giants is the fact that if Hoffa really is down there, he's going to die all over again in Spring 2010.
