Anybody? Can you fill me in here? What in the world is wrong with Plaxico Burress?
In case you haven’t heard, the pro bowl wide receiver of the New York Giants accidentally shot himself in the leg on Friday night with his own gun.
You don’t have to read that sentence again. Trust me, it’s true. 
Yahoo! Sports reported today that Burress was led out of a police precinct in handcuffs after surrendering to weapons possession charges. Apparently he planned on pleading “not guilty” during his court appearance.
Not guilty?
The evidence is in the gun shot wound, is it not?
The details are as follows: Around 12:05 a.m., as Burress was being escorted to a VIP area with a drink in one hand, he somehow ended up fumbling his gun and it discharged, hitting his thigh.
Burress was allowed to bypass security at the club even though they knew he was armed.
I’m wondering why he felt he needed to carry a gun in the first place?
I don’t get it. It seems that Burress is hellbent on sabotaging his NFL career one way or another. Can someone explain this to me?
Please?

Sabotage is the word. Some people live for DRAMA.
See that’s the question I was asking “Why did he need a gun? Isn’t that what bodyguards are for? Why did security let him in?” He is turning himself into a joke of a guy. Did you see his agent talking on Monday night football?
Kisha – EXACTLY!
And no, I didn’t see his agent talking. What excuse did he come up with?
plaxico is what, 3 arrests from being december’s pacman jones? what is with these athletes? all sorts of god given talent but no one bothers to give them some brains. i agree with kisha, why have a bodyguard if you’re planning on protecting yourself?!
Yes, NFL players are very silly. I try to poke fun at them and credit them at the same time in a my weekly videos at Girls Guide to Fantasy Football. Love seeing more female sports fans, glad I stumbled upon your site! – jz
