P. Burress, what are you doing?

Looks like this dumb SOB is taking down Pierce with him and that means BIG problems for Big Blue.

I'm getting sick of the NFL/NBA antics.

There are way to many thugs/ganstas/criminals and louses like S.Marbury to contend with. Whatever happened to the worst thing they did was in between the sheets....like Nameth, Wilt, etc.

They are giving the leagues a bad wrap as a bunch of overpaid punks who should be doing jail time, not playing a game.

Role Models.....what a freakin' joke.

Plaxico Burress, Mike Vick, Rae Carruth and other pro athletes put John Daly's antics into perspective. Sort of. Maybe.

Not sure how it works there, but here in Philly you can carry a loaded handgun around just about anywhere, as long as you have a permit that says you can do so.

Plax won't ever do anything for the Giants, maybe, ever. He was just placed on the inactive list, ending his season. He was also fined an undisclosed amount of money. My guess is that it's $400,000, representing the $100,000 a game he gets as bonus for being on the active game day roster.

Just a stupid, asinine, boneheaded decision by a guy who needs some help. Sadly, I don't know if he'll get it. Like most athletes, they've been surrounded by enablers: coaches, recruiters who kiss their butts and their homeys who do more than just that. Sad tale.

It's called a CCW, and no, he does not have a valid one for the state of New York.

State of NY has nothing to do with it.You can not have a gun in the city limits with out a NYC carry permit which is probably the toughest thing to get in the country.If guilty automatic 3.5 up the river.

Role Models.....what a freakin' joke.

the joke is its silly that we make athletes role models

doctors, scientists, exceptional teachers... firemen, policemen, these are the true role models of a healthy society people who have lived a life of dignity

I'm trying to figure out how someone could accidentally shoot himself in the thigh.

Steps to accidentally shoot yourself in the thigh.
* Be high on alcohol and/or drugs.
* Lack any sense of personal responsibility.
* Get an automatic pistol.
* Load the magazine with bullets.
* Insert the magazine into the base of the pistol grip.
* Cock the pistol to insert a bullet into the firing chamber.
* Make sure the safety is "off".
* Aim at thigh.
* Place index finger on trigger.
* Pull trigger with index finger.
