    I think he is done as a New York Giant...he got Antonio Pierce involved.  Therefore he will likely have a new zip code next season.  Plax may also serve jail time because in NYC their handgun laws do not play favorites so if that gun was not registered...Plax is in for a world of hurt.

      I agree. I don't know about New York law, but in Tennessee carrying a firearm into a bar is a felony that is punishable for up to one year and $5000., regardless if the weapon is registered or not.

      Plax has entered the same category as T.O., Chris Henry, Pacman and other problem children.
