ESPN: Burress wounded in shooting

is that the “accidental” wound was self-inflicted

Burress is just as bad if not worse.

reports that Burress accidentally shot himself in the leg.
Geez, what an idiot!

i hope he is ok.

I hope his gun is legal and he’s licensed to carry. At least that would keep the law out of it. But, I think he should be fined and suspended, depending on the nature of the accident. He should also be required to complete a gun safety course and psychiatric counseling before he’s allowed to return.

Well, the debate about Plax’s value to the team will certainly heat up after this. When your off the field incidents start to be the story over your play on the field, you are a distraction. Period.

I love Plax, but this is getting ridiculous. I stayed out of the debate early this week, because I was undecided about how I felt. I want to give the guy the benefit of the doubt for all he did last year, but it is getting harder each week.

What is he doing at a dance club when he was just declared inactive for Sunday’s game? I know guys go out, but it seems to me a severe hamstring injury would probably keep me at home at least until I could get on the field again during the season. maybe a bad argument, just pissed off right now.

How long he will be out for? Is this a season ending injury?

If Burress is done for the year, so what? It’s not as if you guys have struggled in games without him this year.

Domenik Hixon is a rising star in this league and he’ll do fine.

Our receiving corp is less deep. Plax has a lot of talent, and at the top of his game is a real force

The team isn’t going to suddenly collapse, but it will get harder as the year goes on.

Moss – here is your shot

wounds to the leg. Burress had better be grateful his life didn’t come to an end. I know a NYPD officer that died this way. Burress needs to take this warning seriously. He his now on the clock to get traded or released.

i’m obviously no fan of the giants. but i’m glad he wasn’t too seriously hurt. and as a cowboy fan i’ve dealt with plenty of players doing dumb stuff so i’m not going to give a sermon.

here’s to hoping he’s learned his lesson, gestapo goodell doesn’t come down too hard on him and he’s healthy enough to play in Irving.

About shooting youself in the foot, etc etc.

Seriously though – this is a big deal – and good point all those that brought up the potential legal ramifications of this.

Is this a cry for help? I don’t know. Unfortunate timing, but the best we can all say is that Hixon has had plenty of time in this offense and understands the offense, etc. – so hopefully we don’t see much dropoff in the O.

over the past year or so is their ability to overcome player losses, due to retirement, injury, or free agency. I don’t know if this coaching staff has figured out the keys to the inner working of the universe or what, but from a team standpoint, I think we still have an outstanding group of receivers even without Plax.

As for Plax, I do hope he’s physcially ok, that he’s not beating his wife, that his relationship with the GIants and the NFL will survive this, and that he won’t be going off to the pokey. Primarily I wish he would just settle down but obviously not everyone is into that kind of lifestyle.

defending him. My whole argument was based on the fact that he could get his head out of his a$%. Obviously he doesn’t give a sh^&. You can certainly make the argument that these players have a bullseye on them after the Sean Taylor episode and we don’t know details, but could he possibly have been sober considering an incident and the setting like this? He doesn’t get it & doesn’t care. Thankfully he’s going to be physically ok from the reports, but mentally he’s on another planet.

PLAXICO BURRESS, you are this year’s recipient of the Darwin Award…Congratulations.
