when you just have to cut this guy loose. All the talent in the world is not worth what this guy is putting the giants through. They are riding high right now and don’t need the insane distraction this will cause. The whole reason the giants are as good as they are is because of the team concept.

I think plax has worn out his welcome.

Jimmy, say high to jrs jr. for me.

Getting a concealed permit in the state of FL is a joke. I did it myself earlier this year. Two “instructors” read from a stack of papers for about an hour lecturing on gun safety and the rules around carrying your concealed gun, ie – where you can and can’t take it. You spend the rest of your time lining up to take your picture and filling out forms. Oh, and you had to shoot a .22 finto a concrete block rom about 10 feet away. Loads of training!

Obviously Plax zoned out when they covered the part about not being able to take it into any establishments that serve alcohol, not to mention the part about checking with each state on their laws governing concealed weapons.

It’s a shame that this happened to him. He is a talented player when he wants to be. I concur with everyone else who’s asking what in the hell was he doing in a nightclub when he was listed as inactive for tomorrow’s game, anyway? If he had stayed on the couch recouping his sore hamstring – he wouldn’t be in this mess. He’s gonna find out real quick that hindsight is 20/20.

That being said – I hope the Giant’s don’t let this debacle ruin their mental game tomorrow. We’ve got a long road ahead of us the rest of the season, and we don’t need any more of these “distractions”. Go G-Men!

is startin to smell like a sunday afternoon disaster.

I agree with everyone who has stated that Plax has loads of talent. Yet I have never thought that status whether it be financial, athletic, political or otherwise should ever allow a person to bend or break the laws of the country for any reason. I also believe that if you are employed by an organization you have entered into a legally binding agreement to fulfill the responsibilities within it to the best of your ability. Team meetings, practice, etc. Are all part and parcel of being a player in the NFL. Plaxico Buress has been aware of his responsibilities as a receiver in this league since the day he put on his uniform. He is also able to afford bodyguards. Plaxico Buress has absolutely no excuse for discharging a firearm in public. Regardless of the circumstances he was in at the time. UNLESS, he didn’t in fact “accidentally” shoot himself, and he cooked up a cock and bull story to protect someone he has a reason to fear reprisal from should the authorities become aware of said mystery persons involvement. Any way this story comes out, Plaxico IS NOT an individual living up to the player’s code of conduct within the NFL and needs to suffer the consequences of his actions. Thank you for the Superbowl winning touchdown and playing hurt Mr. Buress. I appreciate it immensely. Now don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Should another door open for you in the future, learn from the example you yourself set as well as countless other athletes over the years: if you come from a backround that’s less than glamorous and are thrust into the limelight, leave your past behind you and learn to live up to the potential that got you there. Guns don’t score touchdowns, QBs with rocket arms cbined with speeding bullet RBs and WRs score touchdowns :P
