So many of these athletes are morons.... I mean, he caught the winning TD pass in the Super Bowl, and he goes into a club that he needs to be packin'????? Just another example that athletes are WAY OVERPAID.... Even Irving Fryar didn't shoot himself! Plaxico is about to be shown the Manny Door.

And he wasn't exactly in the Giants' good graces before yesterday. :doh:

I'm wondering whether he lives in NJ and doesn't even have a NY handgun license--there might be another shoe to drop.

Farkin' dumbass. Clubbing in the wee hours with a gun in his pocket, safety off no doubt. The only safety he knows anything about is the one who regularly tries to take his head off on crossing patterns :rollem:

Officially Done for the Year.....

Giants suspend Super Bowl hero Plaxico Burress

(AP)—The fallout from Plaxico Burress’ self-inflicted gunshot wound may still cause problems for New York Giants middle linebacker Antonio Pierce and affect the team’s bid for a second straight Super Bowl title.

Just days after Burress accidentally shot himself in the right thigh at a Manhattan nightclub, the Giants fined and suspended the star receiver on Tuesday for four games—the rest of the regular season. The team also placed him on the reserve non-football injury list, which means he won’t be back for the playoffs, either.

“When you lose a player of Plaxico’s ability, it is incumbent that everybody step up and fill the void,” coach Tom Coughlin said. “In the last two seasons, this team has done an outstanding job of that. We made it clear to Plax today that we are here to support him in any way possible.”

The Giants handed down the decision after Dr. Scott Rodeo, a team physician, examined Burress and told them the gunshot wound would sideline the 31-year-old player for 4-to-6 weeks.

The Giants (11-1) are deep at wide receiver, however, with players such as Domenik Hixon and Sinorice Moss who can replace the man who caught the game-winning pass in the 17-14 Super Bowl win over the New England Patriots.

It would be much harder to replace Pierce, the middle linebacker who quarterbacks the defense. He still faces a possible suspension.

Pierce was with Burress at the Latin Quarter when the receiver shot himself. Running back Ahmad Bradshaw was also in the club, but not near the other two players, his attorney said.

The incident has frustrated police from the start. Officers said NFL officials promised on Monday that Pierce would appear for questioning. He has not.

The New York Post reported in Wednesday’s edition that police impounded Pierce’s SUV on Tuesday to look for any blood or gunpowder residue that might be inside. Following the shooting, police say Pierce drove Burress to the hospital and returned to New Jersey with Burress’ gun in the glove compartment of his black Cadillac Escalade.

Pierce’s lawyer said Tuesday he contacted prosecutors as soon as he was hired by the linebacker on Monday.

“After the events in question, Mr. Pierce did what any other reasonable person would do under the circumstances, he hired counsel,” attorney Michael Bachner said. He said he hasn’t been notified that Pierce will be charged.

“Mr. Pierce, given the extraordinary circumstances of that evening, acted responsibly in trying to save what could have been the life of a friend,” Bachner said.

Pierce declined to answer questions about the shooting on his regular Tuesday afternoon spot on Sirius NFL Radio. “It’s not appropriate with the police being involved. … I’ve got to be strong,” he said.

Bradshaw’s attorney, Charles Stacy, said his client wasn’t suspected of any wrongdoing.

Both players said they were planning to speak with the district attorney’s office soon.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg spoke out again about the case Tuesday, saying he talked to Giants president John Mara and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. He told them the law says “you see something, you got to call the cops. That’s the thing you should do.”

Police also plan to interview the people at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center, who treated Burress and did not report the shooting, as required by law.

Sorry, Mayor Mike, but the law doesn't say any such thing. What you should do and what the law requires you to do are two different things. You can't obstruct justice, but no law I know of requires anyone to call the police if they witness a crime.

Mayors without law degrees and a certificate of admission to practice law shouldn't be expounding on legal matters.
