N.Y. Giants Receiver Shoots Himself
November 29th, 2008
New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress , 31, accidentally shot himself in the leg on Friday night, according to reports. There are a few details available about the shooting but it is confirmed that the the wounds are not life-threatening. He spent last night in the hospital. “I don’t have anything for you at this stage,” Giants spokesman Pat Hanlon told The Associated Press at Giants Stadium. Burress has had his share of problems recently. He suffered an injured a hamstring two weeks ago against the Baltimore Ravens. The Giants also said Friday he would not play Sunday against the Redskins in Washington. The receiver was suspended for a game and fined $117,500 for missing a team meeting and failing to notify the team in advance that he would be absent. Then, the NFL fined him $45,000 for abusing an official and tossing a ball in the stands during a game against the San Francisco 49ers. Prior to this season, the receiver, celebrated for catching the winning pass in the Super Bowl game against the Patriots, signed a five-year, $35 million contract.

No doubt another attempt by whitey to keep the black man down.
george waring, you’re a moron. You perfectly exemplify why the ‘black man’ is kept down. In short; ignorance.
Enjoy your holidays and may ‘black snow’ fall upon you. hahaha
Hey i don’t know who you are but i wish you the best and get better soon and be careful with guns, no more mistakes with lethal weapons OK.
I HOPE AND PRAY THAT YOU WILL BE OK JUST PUT EVERYTHING IN GODS HAND AND HE WILL WORK EVERYTHING OUT FOR YOU.
I HOPE HES IS DOING FING AND BY THE WAY HE IS SEXY
Plax, you really need to be more careful….or it is something someone said….
Hope you get better soon, so you can play in my Phily Eagle’s game. We like to play the best of teams.
GUNS IS NOT A TOY! HOPE & PRAY THAT YOU R DOING WELL, AND HURRY-UP AND GET BACK ON YOUR FEET. I WANT TO SEE YOU PLAY AGAIN.
Plex, what’s going on man? Get better, get your mind straight and focus on the big picture, your career. Your teammates and your family need you.
Rob C - How about yellow snow?

Man look at this cheddar bob fool shoots hisself then people want to show sympathy quit being stupid go sit down somewhere
My Brother
You are blowing it….it is time that you realize what your GOD given skills are.and concentrate on using them. Try to set a GOOD example for the young folk coming up behind you. You have had fun…enjoyed life…created capital…your oppurtinites are many. Please realize that there are many,many folk who envy you and your accomplishments. There are also those who don’t respect you….you show little respect for yourself! You have it better than mostR 30;̷ 0;… ;.grow up and do the right thing. Remember;

Forget shooting yourself. I’m really upset that you have paid $162,500 in fines. Must be nice to just throw money away like that. That money could have put a single mother like myself through grad school. Strong work!
LOOK HERE Son this is o time for blaming the white man for holding you back, so what excuse are you trying to bake up now!!!! Get with the program and be responsible! Put your trials and tribulations in God’s hand like a lot of us have who have good sense,He has framed your life before your problems found you out ! STOP WASTING TIME ON THE NEGATIVE THINGS and be a OVERCOMER NOT a FAILURE. Find more positive thins to stay focus on because if your life wasn’t important you could have been cut off a long time ago. He ( JESUS) Was Wounded For Our Transgressions and Bruised For Our Inquities By HIS Stripes We Are Healed ( IF WE ACCEPT HIM As Our SAVIOUR)
Guns are to protect or defend. I hope and pray that hes ok and learning. Sean Taylor #21 died being shot in the leg.
Well i feel as though these people are under allot of pressure and the
white man is all about the money fine for fine for that !!
Then you got fools like Rob C and Cj that look for a anyting to happen and act like idiots themselves some people need GOD !!

Plaxico,
Know when you’re blessed, it could be much worse, so don’t offend God with stupidity! Take the guns out of your home and life. You just don’t need to be caught up shooting yourself or someone else. Get some anger management help, because you certainly need it. If you need a counselor, call me. Hell, I’ll do it for free, if it’s gonna cause you to live your life to the fullest. what you have done is out of the will of god. Get back into his will, and your life will become better. Peace. alee
myluckycharm37@juno.com—————counseling is just a click away.

1.What was he doing with a gun.?!
2. With all the problems maybe he had more than an “accident”? hope he gets a psyche eval before he leaves care. Money doesn’t buy or fix everything.
3. He needs to get involved with helping others with all that excess dough.
I’m homeless ( because) multi-disabled and once, if i get in housing want to start a charity to prevent the hell I’ve lived for others denied shElter a path out because of physical disability and long term illness. Im white female short timer veteran, i see a lot of black veterans and non (esp. females_ with physical or multi disability not getting the help.
SERIOUSLY.
MAYBE THIS IS A perfect TIME FOR HIM TO THINK OF GETTING INVOLVED instead of in trouble…
Have his people call my people ( LOL).

Wow!!! A man accidentally shoots himself in the leg, and everyone else is to blame for it!!! I don’t get it. On top of that, others are speculating as to what actually occurred like they witnessed the event. I will never understand the stupidity and ignorance of people.

hello plaxico i hope u ok i don’t know u well but when i got the news from bet i was very upset think god ur doing well may god bless ur soul
DC Mathews …. YOU CAN’T BE SERIOUS !! So the answer to his problems are to GIVE his monies away !! Write your Senator or BUSH !!! All he needs is to GROW up, learn his history and find some self respect and pride.
What happen? I don’t know … I was not there but it was trully a wake up call …but some peeps are in a DEEP sleep and they miss the alarm !
I hope that’s not his case…for him …his family and his children if he has any.
Tsk Tsk Tsk…just another OVERpaid idiot! So…whats next for you Plax? So many like you have turned the NFL into one big Soap Opera…people anticipate that on any given weekend some NFL player will be caught, driving drunk, involved in some sort of domestic violence or shot…except we were shocked to hear you did it to yourself…what a dummy! If you feel you need to take a gun into a nightclub with you…you probably shouldnt go….just one more question…was it REALLY worth it???
Owwwwww!!!! I know how it feels to go through that type of pain…Hope you heel quickly you fine thang!
diis shud teach u not 2 play wit guns…but dats besides da point at least u didnt do alot of damage 2 urself cus it cuda been worse..Thank G-d it wasnt ur headR 30;(LoL) …. Stay up….
I totally agree with Snookie, J Gott and definitely Ms B . . . too much money and not enough common sense. The same for A.I. . . .when r u going to learn to just enjoy the fruits of your labor . .young black boys growing up with insurmountable (did I spell that right?) circumstances to beat the odds and this is how you spend your life? Y fight your way out of the hood to still act hood. Throwing away money because you don’t show up for a meeting, just disrespectful to the establishment who pays your salary! Dumb I tell you just plain ole dumb. How can you continue this type of behavior and expect respect for your skills? Don’t you want to be remembered for more than just the dumb stuff you do? At this rate your career will be over b4 it really takes off.
Brother, you are going through aren’t you? Step back, take a deep breath and keep going. Look at what you have, and you are fine. Be thankful. It will be alright. I know it sounds like it is easy for a person to say that when they are not going through what you are, but turn the corner there is someone that has it a lot worse than you. Someone lost someone they love just because some greedy shoppers wanted to stampede the store, there are children dying for unknown reasons, honey you have it all and do not know it. Merry Christmas–hopefully the true spirit will return.
hey,
we all do dumb things sometimes. He is famous, so he probably thinks he needs a gun for protection, understandable.
Sounds like homeboy wanted some xtra time off. I patronize that club on a regular and to my knowledge there has never been an incident that requires a weapon. People are xtra friendly there—they should be they put enuf alcohol in those drinks!!!
Many have become wealthy from sports, only the smart ones have Mentors to guide them through the field of life. Foolish pride comes before every fall.
Read the hand writing on the wall, it could be telling you something.
