Plaxico Burress’ Giant Mess

The troubles continue for Giants receiver Plaxico Burress who accidentally shot himself in the thigh Friday night (December 28) at the Latin Quarter nightclub in New York City.

Burress is charged with two felonies and could face the mandatory minimum sentence of 3 ½ years for each of two illegal firearms found in his possession as well as a possible suspension from the NFL.

As if the pain and embarrassment of shooting one’s self wasn’t enough, the Giants are also considering putting Burress on the non-football injury reserve list for the rest of the season, as opposed to the two week absence he is currently on, which could result in his pay being docked.

wow first of all how can you shoot yourself in the leg, but anyhow its sad that his career is going down the drain because of his felony, not only is he injured but he’s not getting money in reulst of it. All I have to say is it was his own fault.
