Marion Barber from the Cowboys has a dislocated pinkie toe and a sore calf, but Jerry Jones thinks he still should have played.

This is the Jerry Jones who thinks he’s a coach… and now obviously a doctor, too. Talented guy that Jerry Jones is!

Jones mouths off to one source, “He can play with the soreness and a combination of those things. I see nothing that led us to believe he couldn’t.”

Of course not, Jerry. That’s because you sit in the booth and watch the game from the comfort of your corporate box.

There’s something really super icky about an owner or general manager who makes his way onto the field and comments about things that should only come from the coach. Of course, if Jerry Jones was to actually coach himself, he’d have no one else to blame when the team played like crap.

Jerry Jones Thinks Marion Barber is a Weenee

As we told you, Plaxico Burress shot himself in the leg Friday night. Here’s what happened. “An onlooker saw Burress near the V.I.P. area of the club holding a drink in his left hand and fidgeting his right hand in the area of the waistline of his pants. The witness then heard a single “pop” sound before hearing Burress say, “Take me to the hospital.” ~source

But this being a Plaxico problem, it isn’t just the matter of the shooting which has him in trouble. There’s the matter of the gun – which Plaxico had illegally.

Then there’s the issue of no one calling the police after the shooting. The Giants didn’t call. Plaxico didn’t call. And even the folks from the hospital didn’t call!

How’d they hear about the shooting, then? From TV! Like the rest of us.

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg criticized everybody involved, saying “The hospital didn’t call and the Giants didn’t call, and the Giants should have picked up the phone right away, as good corporate citizens.” ~source

So what’s a Plaxico to do?

One thing he should definitely do is hire a good lawyer. The photo I have of him above is from him leaving the 17th Precinct in Manhattan. In cuffs, of course. He’s been arraigned on two separate counts of a weapons charge.

I’d say “what next” for Plaxico but as we all know he likes to keep us guessing!

Oh the Problems of Plaxico

What’s this? A kinder, gentler Randy Moss?

After the Patriots lost to the Colts last night, apparently Randy wasn’t happy with some of the officiating. Fox Sports says that some “of the Pats players thought the pivotal unnecessary roughness call on tight end David Thomas in the fourth quarter was questionable.”

That’s not unusual. Fans and players alike question officials, for right or wrong (or for someone to blame.) But it was Randy’s LACK of complaining that really surprised me. He said, “When things happen, you have to watch what you say. Guys don’t want to get fined. But there was some real iffy calls out there.”

For Randy, this is downright mild. Think he’s trying to soften up and become the LOVABLE Randy Moss? We shall see.
