Troubled Giants Receiver Could Do Time

December 3rd, 2008

Plaxico Burress

 The New York Giants suspended Plaxico Burress for four games on Tuesday, effectively ending his season, after he accidentally shot himself in the thigh over the weekend at a Manhattan nightclub, according to The Associated Press. The team also placed him on non-football injury reserve, which means he can’t return for the playoffs, either. If the news that he was being punished for conduct detrimental to the team wasn’t bad enough for Burress, the Giants receiver was also charged with illegal weapons possession, which could land him in prison from three to 15 years. Read the rest here.

Honestly, whatever he gets he deserves. I say this as a father & a HUGE Giants Fans. He obviously doesn’t care about his teammates or his fans to put his life & other peoples lives at jeopardy bringing a gun in a club. I still wish him the best & hope he learns his lesson. He was blessed to be able to play the sport he wants to and has the God given ability to do it well. He took advantage and didn’t appreciate that & now has to face the repercussions of his actions. Plaxico keep your head up but realize this was entirely YOUR fault!!

This is some BULL!!!! Let Plax go. They have done enough. They took his money and suspended him for four games. That Crazy Racist NY mayor needs Jail time. They( N.Y. P.D.) can Kill Mr. Bell and other innocent African american Males and the mayor has nothing to say. But, a gun that only went off and shot the guy who had it needs jail time and the Mayor had to host a press conference for that. PLEASE!!!! That was Dumb what Plax did and the NY giants did the right thing and now it’s time for the MAYOR to do what’s right and suspend, fired and lock up those evil cops killing innocent african american males. Host a press conference on that.

If I see the words “troubled”, “beleaguered” or “embattled” next to a pro athlete”s name, he better have went bankrupt because of the S&L crisis, contracted a deadly disease, or have been jailed due to him taking a stand on some social issue. Otherwise, call it like it is—STUPID! If I made as much feta as these cats, I could have the party piped in; I wouldn’t have to go to a club with an iron in my pants…PEACE.

Don’t single the man out because, he is pro football player.
our nation need to wake up to the future. (Why) Because
beginning an Black man will never changed. we will always be a target until the day we die………..

So what if he made a mistake……………

He not a Slave . He an black man trying to make in a world…….



jazmene Said on

has the thought ever crossed the Mayor’s mind to do the same thing to those crooked cops who are running around here killing kids their father’s and others where was he at when sean bell’s accusers went free for gunning him down
that is who needs to be sitting in jail not this man who made a mistake a costly one but never the less it was done to himself



tyrone Said on

i think he will go to jail but its sad because he was a big part to the team and now he gotta do the time for the crime



Cocoa59 Said on

jazmene, your post is right what i can’t understand is every little bitty thing a person does even if it’s an accident these people is eager to punish someone. I would spectulate that before year 2020 or near everyone in the United States will have a record of some kind. Simply because venom is spreading in the hands of those who are in authority. The system has gotten very wicked and we are all seeing it happen. God is the only one who can stop it. When it get where the authority of someone is so cold hearted where they can sentence a child to prison then the devil is busy.

Another Michael Vicks. Dumb azz dummy



tlo38 Said on

Opinions R like Asshholes, and everybody’s got 1. We all make mistakes, it’s not for us to sit and call a person a bunch of names because no on is perfect. I’m sure he’s sorry & embarrassed, but whats done is done…lets move on to our own lives. Which most of the crucifiers don’t have…a LIFE.



messiah Said on

Let the court system handle this matter. Everyone
Else should mind there own business. No ones perfect
We all make dumb decisions in our lives. Now
The law is been set, if he Has no priors, with all the
Money he has, he should be able to avoid jail time.

free plax



drharris Said on

Most of this is blown out of proportion. There are other news that need to be brought to the public. Not sure if because he’s black or what, but it’s on every news channel. Give me a break. Yes he may have been wrong, but no one can judge him. We don’t live this man’s life or walk in his shoes. Any God-feared person would pray for the man and leave alone. Justice will come whether it’s good or bad and we as people can’t foresee what’s going to happen but the Lord. My prayers to you and your family……….



kiz Said on

Derick williams what the hell are you talking about he did a dumb ass thing yall need to stop bringing up that slave stuff that happen a long time ago .We sould think instead of doing stupid sh*t all the time.Just because his a black football player don’t make him any different from anybody else that did a dumb ass thing.



rdouglas101 Said on

A lot of you hollin about this keeping a black man down and racisim and stuff and we always cry that as black people and thats not to say it doesn’t exist because it does, but one thing we seem to forget is this: HE COMITTED A CRIME by carrying a concealed weapon. Like someone mentioned above, he should have known better. Its not about him shooting himself, its about him unlawfully carrying a concealed weapon. This whole thing is not about race, not about him being an athlete, I see it as someone who just made a bad decision, which is why I think a lot of people are locked up right now. Now honestly I don’t think he will do any time. Then again I said that about Mike Vick and he is in jail, so I guess we will have to wait and see.



Val Said on

I too am tired of the repeated news on this like he is a mass murderer. Leave him alone……thre is no way he should get time; especially when the time he is faced with is more than for child molestation or pedifiles! The law system can be twisted.



wowed Said on

It amazes me that the black athletes always seem to end up in jail and the white ones who do stupid and unethical actions walk free.



Big Roni Said on

Bigg Dogg i agree with you, Plax will be punished for what he did,
but the NY Mayor is full of it..



anndria Said on

he needs to be in a mental hospital. obviously, he has deeper issues.
