Plaxico Fantastico’s Shitty Autumn Got A Little Bit Worse
Can't Stop The Bleeding —
The New York Daily News’ Ralph Vacchiano and Larry McShane have a source (Mark Bavaro? Ray Handley?) who insists the NY Giants’ “talented but troubled” (not Deep Throat’s words, presumably) suffered an accidental, self-inflicted gunshot wound Friday evening.
The Daily News helpfully provides hyperlinks to “report offensive post” when readers cross an imaginary line with their comments, and either no one is reading these messages or I’m the only person who thinks the paper oughta be embarrassed by this one ...
Plaxico Burress accidentally shoots himself
tonyblogs.net - Sports news, humor, videos and prognostications. —
... Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress accidentally shot himself in the leg after a loaded gun he was carrying went off Friday night in a New York nightclub. The injury is not life- or career- threatening, although I would imagine his Giants career is at risk. ...

... as non-life-threatening, and details of the accident remained sketchy. The gun apparently discharged while Burress was inside the Latin Quarter, a midtown nightclub on Lexington Ave., ESPN.com reported. The club's Web site advertises Friday as Latin night, with "sportsmen galore" and "man hands pulling lady legs around their waists."Police were investigating the incident along with NFL officials. "We are gathering information, just like everyone else," said NFL spokesman Joe Browne. Continue

... for his gun and fumbled it. And now it will cost him," a police source said.
The state of Florida issued him a concealed weapon permit that expired in May. Even if it had been renewed, it wouldn't be recognized by authorities in New York or New Jersey.
Personally, I can't help but wonder if the Giants front office is gathered somewhere pouring over that new contract they gave Plax looking at out clauses.

... is telling a bit of a different story. They say the gun didn't go off while Burress was unloading it, but rather when it slipped down his pant leg while he was walking. They also say that Pierce did not drive Plax to the hospital (his wife and her friend did), but that Pierce initially attempted to hide the gun from police by stashing it "somewhere in New Jersey". Both men may be facing criminal charges, but Pierce will be playing against Washington today. ...

... the whole alleged story sounds a little shady. Cheddar Bob Plax brings a piece to the club, has to unload it after getting caught, goes to a VIP area, accidentally shoots himself while taking out bullets, after which nobody at the club calls the ambulance or the police, which is all followed by Plax eventually going to a hospital two hours after the incident occurred and Giants teammate Antonio Pierce, who was at the club with Plax, trying to hide the gun. Something sounds off. If Burress didn't have a permit for his weapon, he'd ...

... The details are pretty despicable about Plaxico Burress shooting himself. Gets even worse, if possible, when the New York Daily News reports that Antonio Pierce hid the gun for the wide receiver. Great teammate, eh? Know we aren’t working with pure genius here, but imagine if Burress had bled to death while being driven to a hospital instead of taking an ambulance. Honestly, the Giants need to rid themselves of him ASAP. Nothing can be worth this. Of course, the Giants are keeping ...

... and stashing it somewhere in New Jersey, sources said. Burress was afraid to go to the hospital, but two hours after the shooting, at 2 a.m., his wife, Tiffany, and a friend escorted him to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell. He was treated and released at about 12:45 p.m., sources said. But a hospital spokeswoman denied that Burress was ever there. Cops only learned about the incident after Giants employees quietly reached out to the NYPD to report it, sources said.
