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.

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 !!
