PrintPlaxico Burress' controversial year has just taken a turn for the worse.The New York Giants wide receiver accidentally shot himself in the leg on Friday night, FOXSports.com has learned, not long after being ruled out of Sunday's game against the Redskins with a hamstring injury.
He spent the night in the hospital and the injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. The team is still trying to gather further information on the incident.
Wow. I suppose this means Burress, who always plays well against us, will miss next week's showdown with the Giants in North Jersey.

i mean really
does it get any stupider than this?
nfl athletes + clubs of ANY sort = trouble
i can’t imagine what the giants coaching staff and owners feel at this time. imagine paying millions of dollars to have a WR play for your team and he goes and does this silly s-hit.
*slaps forehead
his career is finished.
4th and 26!!!!
not meaning to sound racist...
but your equation may be more suitably “black pro athletes + clubs = trouble”.
While white athletes are not angels by any means you just don’t hear about this kind of stuff with them, or very rarely in comparison. What is it with black guys and guns? And posses and gang mentality and all that other crap that goes with them? I hang with a lot of black guys at work and this kind of stuff pisses them off too, and propagates an undesirable stereotype they’re constantly having to deal with.
On another note, wouldn’t Burress’ playing with firearms constitute a breach of contract? I hope so. Nobody that stupid should make that kind of money.

“not meaning to sound racist” + “What is it with black guys and guns?” does not compute.

haha
Look, our star RB is nowhere near 100%, our backup RB is out, and our 3rd string RB goes down when defenders blow in his general direction.

He’s been shooting himself in the foot for years. This yime his aim was just a little bit higher!
I bleed green and I piss silver and blue
when i read the title i didn't think it was literal
i read it literally, then i thought, “probably just saying he messed up big this time”. then i read the article and was stunned that the title was literal, not figurative.

Darn
Good one, oldasquick!
Talk about a guy who’s his own worst enemy.
A Game
Let’s play one: imagine what the first thing Plaxico said was when he looked down and saw he had shot himself in the leg.
I’ll start: “Oh well, who needs 10 toes?”
new nickname – Cheddar Bob?
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position to perennially come up short of expectations"
Damn! One day earlier and the headlines would have been...
GIANT TURKEY SHOT ON THANKSGIVING!
I bleed green and I piss silver and blue
He couldn't think of any other way to see his kid on the school bus monday
